Or at least, she doesn't look impressed. To be honest, this was one of the very few pictures from her that didn't have her with her head upside down on the rope perch!

78:365 - Puffed up!
I had a difficult choice to make for this week's 365 picture of Piper, as there was many pictures I liked! But, in the end, a picture of him all puffy will always win, and the puffier he is, the better!

77:365 - Petey
This was the first picture I took of him, then all the others he gave me the same pose of looking at me straight on. Since his pose was slightly different here, I picked this one.

Leap of faith
I know it's out of focus (she was meant to be on the kitchen sink, not mid-air when I snapped the picture), but I find this picture absolutely hilarious. She doesn't look very graceful!
High kick
A little out of focus, and he really was walking, not kicking, still I quite like the picture!

OPC meeting - March 16, 2014
The first meeting for 2014 of the Ottawa Parrot Club was held tonight. Earlier I toyed with the idea of bringing the camera and finally a few other members convinced me to do so.
Zorro, the President's Moluccan Cockatoo, and Josie, a chatty Hahn's macaw are more heavily featured; Zorro is a just a ham and Josie was eager to show off her wings.
Crystal of Crystal's Bird Toys was present and I took a few pictures of the tables she set up.

Extreme preening
Not that she's preening in an extreme way, but she is sporting quite the extreme face.
Looks like those feathers have done her some wrong!
Different perspective
She spends a lot of the time with her head upside down, something scratching herself, sometimes still.
The look
The always intense gaze of Joey.
Fixated on me...
...then something else got his attention.

A Lovebird and a Senegal
When I first had Piper and Shade interact (which didn't happen until I moved into an apartment, although I had the two of them prior to this), Shade has always shown interest in Piper, wanting to groom him and hang out. Piper, on the other hand, seemed to not care so much and would just walk away.
As the flock grew, Shade remained the one Poi that seemed the nicest towards Piper. Léa has shown a curious interest towards him as well, but due to size difference, both will never be left out of their cages together.
Years have gone by since that initial move, and slowly, Piper has shown a bit more friendly disposition towards Shade, at times following her around and either trying to mimic what she's doing (playing) or, if I happen to give them treats while out of cage, trying to get to her crumbs and he's the only bird she'll allow to do this.
This morning, Piper was playing with a piece of yucca and Shade showed interest. I gave her a bigger piece and Piper came closer, waiting for smaller pieces to fall close to him so he could chew on them. It was quite cute!
Of course, they are out together under strict supervision, but it's nice to see a kind of friendship form between the two of them.
