Throwback Thursday

And we are continuing with pictures of birds with wings up, as part of Throwback Thursday. This is one of Léa before she even turned one, taken in January 2012. I do believe I may have other more recent pictures of her with her wings up that showcase a bit more colour on her wings, but I'd have to really search.

It's still funny to look back at pictures of her when she was losing the coral on her head (baby feathers) before anything else grew in.

This will probably be it for wings up in the air - as the ones I have for Petey and Piper, unless I manage to find ones I can't remember having taken, were posted recently in TBT entries about my favourite pictures of the birds.

You can't reach me!

Léa, quite literally looking down at me.

Throwback Thursday

Here is one of my favourite older pictures of Léa. She was doing a whole body shake, ruffling her feathers, and this little piece of down feather flew off of her and I caught it still mid-air. This was taken in November 2012.

I'm stepping over you!

The acrobat way forward

 

I think she prefers moving in an upside-down position while on this rope, rather than right side-up. This may be because of her size/weight and the rope being a little lose, she looks less stable than the smaller birds when standing on the rope. Either way, she doesn't let anything stop her from going where she wants to. 

Peek-a-boo

Going for the leap...

Taken just before she jumped (rather than flew) from the net to an adjacent swing.

Wet birds

More than half of the birds decided to take baths on Saturday, under their own free will and in their water bowls. The result was birds with varying degrees of being wet. (Note: the pictures were taken with my cell phone, so quality isn't the greatest.)

1-Léa

Léa's baths are a messy affair; while she ever only manages to get her head wet (and even this isn't truly drenched), it is an entirely different story for her cage and the floor around her cage...those two things get soaked.


2-Joey

He's always been pretty good at getting wet. If I mist him, his whole body gets wet easily. But when it is as a result of him taking a bath, he pretty much only gets his belly.


3-Shade

I have a feeling she may have gotten the ball rolling for taking a bath that day. Her face and belly were pretty wet, and it looked like the top of her head had been more wet at one point, but was drying off.


4-Pixel

She was the one who remained the most wet. The feathers on her belly were properly drenched and so was the top of her head (which doesn't really show in this picture).

Step up?
