Sister's Birdies

Thought I'd toss in a few pics of the two parrots my sister has. First is an Indian Ringneck (Indie) and the second is a new addition to her family; Goffin Cockatoo (Jasmine). Perty!

New Pictures

I spent most of the weekend just playing with the new camera but not really taking any serious pictures. Just getting familiar with all of the functions and options. But I did post a few new snapshots HERE.

The original resolution was 3072x1728 (widescreen 16:9) and 3072x2304 (4:3) and the file size is gigantic. So the pictures here are scaled and don't really convey the detail of what it can do.

Day 5

Mahana is much much better. We are half way through our 10 days of meds. I'm still very glad she's not screeching till my ears bleed but she is talking and everything else. She's even waiting until I put her down in the morning after I pick her up and greet her to poop. How nice and something new!

Neglect

Yea yea, so I haven't exactly kept up on this site. With winter and the cold I tend to feel sluggish adding to that working all the time and spending most free time de-stressing at the local pubs.

Now that it's getting warmer I should have more time with the birds outside, taking pictures and having a ball. Here's a little shower shot from yesterday. They look so pathetic, but cute when they get a bath. They are getting better about it; don't fight it like they used to.

Here fishy fishy fishy

Went to a great place called That Fish Place in Lancaster. It's a huge warehouse with all kinds of neat things. They even have a large indoor pool with horseshoe crabs, sting rays, fish and star fish. I was able to pet the sting rays. They are REALLY soft. Anyhow, I finally got a bird play pen which beats my old piece of wood that I used as a perch. I ordered a new cage for Mahana. It's going to be exactly like the one I have but white. Hopefully it should be here Friday. Can't wait!

Meet Cheeks

Ran home for lunch and got some pictures. Here's one (cropped). I posted several others in the Freeze Frame section.

Jabber Jaw!

Hey look at me. I'm talking to you.

Here's the two getting along just fine together. No fights or anything. Jahita will probably be going home tomorrow. Sad I'm able to rub her belly now. Still can't get my hands behind her.

Birdsitting

I've recently made some new friends and it turns out they too have a parrot. She is a beautiful Yellow Headed Blue Front Amazon. Very shy but pretty nice (at least towards men). I know with some quality time she could really sweeten up and become a lover. She makes Beaker look so small as she's a good 3 or 4 times his size.

They have entrusted me to baby sit her for a week or so. I feel very lucky and trusted. I will attempt to hold her and talk to her every day to see if I can get her to come out of her shell. Just have to watch out for her claws. She has some real sharp talons! She has never attempted to bite me however which is promising.

I think Beaker is enamored with her. Last night he was staring at her and rocking back and forth all excited. Maybe he's just happy to have some company when I'm not around. You can barely make her out in the web cam (behind Beaker's house). I'll see if I can re-arrange my setup to get a better shot of both.
