Petey

He really likes going for dark and narrow spaces, more so than any of the other birds.

These wings must look their best!

Wings are the go-to item for both Meyer's if they feel like preening while I take pictures.

I want to get down

So what do I do? Take a picture, then help him, because it appears he forgot he was a bird and could fly off the thing.

Looking mildly excited.

Petey interrupted

He was on his way to do something, but noticed the camera...

What does this do?

The Thinker

Preening away

What?

Framed...

...and caught preening.

Throwback Thursday

Today's TBT picture is of Petey (as I found the blog was a lacking some Petey pictures lately). It was taken in May 2009 and is one of my favourite pictures of Petey.

Saturday pictures

All taken with my cell, sorry for the so-so quality, especially for the pictures of Joey and Petey, which were taken once the sun went down and we had to resort to artificial lighting.

Messy beaks

I guess these two really enjoyed dinner.

Petey - who rarely ever gets messy!

And Léa who gets messy fairly frequently.

Preening Petey

Headless Meyer's

What are the chances that both birds would decide to react in the same exact manner when faced with today's photoshoot? (To note, they came out at different times, as they are one of the two pairs that doesn't do well when out together, so there was no imitation.)

Happy Petey day!

Today is the joint "gotcha" and hatch day celebration for Petey. As we don't know his exact hatch date, we have decided to celebrate it on the day we first got him.

So today, he "turns" 20 years old, and he's been with us for seven years!

Happy "gotcha" and hatchday Petey!

Peek-a-boo Petey

I love these photos! He looks so silly!
