Amazing

My Mother In Law sent me this and I thought it was so amazing that I had to share it with you guys.




It is amazing to watch as the wind ruffles the feathers, especially at the end of the video. Beautiful camera work, breathtaking.

Too Cute to Save

Zora was in a mood last night and got really cute with John. So of course I took video!



So cute the kissy faces. :P

Party Time!

It's Friday again, time for a nice relaxing weekend before the holidays rip us to pieces. ;) I don't know about you guys but Echo knows exactly how I feel.

Here he is showing you his impression of momma when she starts to stress, thinking about shopping and decorating and driving much to far in the car to visit homes filled to the brim with people. AHHHHH! ^^;;;





On a serious note though, Echo is the clown of the house. He always does this bit of dancing if he deems that I am not paying "enough" attention to him. XD

Video Friday Staring Zora

I feel like giving little Zora some love today. I had her out and about earlier this week and she kept making her kissy noise at me. Of course this was all the while she was trying to bite me. I think maybe she is taking a page from Kenya with the whole "lure them close then get 'em" technique.

So anyway, always looking an the bright side I got out the camera and got some footage of her blowing kisses. Enjoy!



Close up of Zora blowing kisses, then trying to bite me, then blowing kisses again. Watch her eyes flash towards the end. She was really wanting to "get me."



Zora's first experiance with the bird in the mirror. Rawr! Thats one sexy bird. ;D

Fab Friday Videos

Cockatoos are known in the bird world as "Velcro Birds", this is mainly because they are so highly social in the wild. So when you Take a highly social bird out of the wild and lock them up in your house with only you for company, they become a bit obsessed with you.

Trouble is no exception. In fact unlike most birds who live their lives through their beaks, tasting and chewing everything in sight, Trouble lives life through the top of her head. All she wants is for someone to scratch her head. It is a social preening behavior that enforces a tighter bond threw birds, and she just wants it all-the-time.

In fact, if she could be scratched 24/7 she would be in Too heaven.



As you can see in the video, Trouble approaches everything with her head down asking for scratches. I was actually surprised that she came to the camera like that since she is usually weary of new things, but not this week. This week all she cared about was getting me to touch her. :D

TGIF

Happy Friday everyone! It's been a long week over here. Lots of little birdie idiosyncrasies to work around but it's getting better. Slowly getting better but I am just happy we're moving in the right direction.

The video I took this week didn't turn out, so I was looking threw my video's (being video Friday and all) and found a nice short one featuring Lou. Lou doesn't get a whole lotta love here so I thought it would be nice to post this video short.

So Here's Lou doing his Happy Dance. Why so happy? Cause he is inside, loose, and keeping me on the other side of the room. ;)

Abierto - Cerrado

Fab Friday video time!

This week I thought I would give Kenya the spotlight, so here she is swinging on her cage door.




Have a great weekend everyone. See you on Monday.

Cockatoo Quality Control

Here it is, as promised. ;) Trouble "testing" the blocks I dyed for Mondays DIY project. If you watch her, you will notice she is leery of the paper towel and doesn't want to step on it. She is like that most of the time, she has trust issues with paper like objects at foot level. I have no clue why, but she does.





Have a great weekend everyone, I'll see you on Monday!

Yum!

I talked earlier this week about bringing Lou our Green-wing Macaw in for dinner bonding. I took some video of him being all cute to share with you today.

Here is Lou trying to say Yum after each bite of Pasta.



And here is Lou waving at me and acting all cute as he tries to lure me closer.



Have a great weekend everyone!

Are you talking to me?

It's the end of the week so it's time for Fab Friday. Too keep it light and fun I have a video of my own to share.



For what ever reason Duke seems to think what he has to say is much more important than what John does. Sorry about the quality of this video, I am still learning the ins and outs of the camera.

Fab Fridays

So I was lurking around YouTube yesterday and found this uber cute video of a couple of Indian Ringnecks playing with a phone.



Aren't they soooooo cute! They remind me of muppets, or aliens, or Muppet Aliens! Like these Muppet Aliens!!



Ah the memories of my youth integrating with feathery sweetness. :D Life can not get any sweeter.
