Blogger has played with the contrast a little, although this time I don't mind it as much as I did on other occasions.

262:365 - Léa
Blogger has played with the contrast a little, although this time I don't mind it as much as I did on other occasions.
For Friday, September 19th.
Peek-a-bird!
We disturbed him while he was scurrying on the bottom of his cage, between layers of paper. This is also part of the reason why the feathers on his stomach don't look as great as they once did; he insists on being on the "ground" of whatever his in (be it is cage or a room) and he spends a large porting of that time with his stomach rubbing against the "ground".
Joey`s Dalek outtakes
Nearly a month later, here are a few more outtakes from that 365 Dalek week! This time, they feature Joey, one of the few birds who wasn't too concerned about the Dalek when face to face with it.
Ultimately, I chose to go with a Picture of Joey and the Dalek on his side for the 365; however, the picture above where he's actually chewing it was nearly selected, and this also applies to the picture below, where he was in the midst of toppling over the Dalek.

Happy Hatchday Pixel!
And here we are - Pixel's 10th hatchday!
She's my second bird to be in the "double digits", although the first to get there while in my care (Petey was already 12 or 13 when we got him). She's the first of a few that will get there in the next few months.
For once, I don't have many pictures lined up for a hatchday post and will probably have to rectify this over the week-end!
Happy Hatchday Pixel!

"Forbidden" toys are more fun
The other day, she managed to snatch an unused quick link from my hand. She was ever so proud of herself and was not keen on getting her prized possession away, even when the Boy tried to take it back from her (while I was being bad and snatching pictures, because she looked so pleased with herlsef).
This quick link is made of stainless steel - in fact, all quick links I use now are stainless steel. Not worth taking a risk, especially since Léa likes to undo them from time to time (and this means checking her toys frequently for opened quick links).
Shake!
I love that her head is still fairly in focus and sharp, whereas you see the rest of her mid-shake!
Feels like I'm interrupting something...
Zuri stopped preening and Shade is not looking particularly pleased...
259:365 - Scratch me, please.
A recurrent one I think - but it is increasingly harder to get a picture of Piper before he has a chance to fly to my shoulder. This is a compromise I guess - in front of the camera, but still on me.
For Tuesday, September 16th.
257:365 - Rocking out!
Yes, he is preening, but it does look like he's rocking out as well!
For Sunday, September 14th.
256:365 - I'm not getting off!
If Léa manages to get on top of her cage, it is always a struggle to get her off. Generally, she goes there either when it is time to go in and she's not ready or when we attempt to clean her cage and she shouldn't be coming out yet (but wants to). Her cage is tall and we aren't so much...add that she'll clamp down to the side of her plexiglass (which is smooth) and you really have a bird who won't budge. There isn't much to do up there, as it is a flat surface with no toys. But given that we don't want her there, it becomes very tempting to her!
For Saturday, September 13th.
