Alert / Relaxed

On alert because of a seagull squawking outside - after all, it's been a whole winter with little external strange bird noises...



The seagull left, everything got "quiet" again, he could let his guard down.

The cutest little puffball!

He is just too cute!

Someone looked tired

Progress with Zuri

Zuri is the most independent bird in the flock, the one who can be left to do his own thing for longer.

Lately, however, he has started to show signs of wanting more one-on-one interaction, mostly with me but the Boy will do if I'm not around. Mostly, he wants his head scratched because of all the pin feathers that are growing in (and Shade, being in a molt right now, is moody and doesn't want to be "friends" at the moment).

Earlier this morning I was taking care of a few of these pin feathers and I noticed a lose piece of dried feather casing had fallen on one of his eyes, while it was open. It was holding on to the lower piece of his eyelid. Generally, he doesn't like if fingers get too close to his eyes but this morning he let me remove the feather casing (very gently) without moving or making a fuss.

I'm quite proud of him!

Caught!

Oh she caught me!...


Act *innocent*...


Never mind..just go for it!

Sitting pretty

Zuri

He was moving as little as he could while I took pictures yesterday.

Hi!

I think it's now obvious that I've taken a few pictures of the birds today. This has to be one of my favourites of Léa!

When you have an itch...

...you must scratch it!



And I'm loving her slightly disheveled in this one!

Twinkle

He actually looks like he has a twinkle in his eye - how can you resist this sweet face?

Petey goes on an adventure!

All is peaceful...


But wait..what is that??


I found a way that leads to dark places!..

Now I did have to stop him before he got too far back...otherwise it's really hard to get him out from behind his cage!
