A couple cool, wintry pics from today

[ruffledfeathers]

It was pretty warm out today and I wanted to get Gilbert out to fly a short while over this unseasonably warm weekend. I went out with the camera in hand today because with the warm day but still a little snow on the ground, I thought the pics would be pretty. I just didn't let him land on anything but me because I didn't want him IN the snow. He is always in SUCH A GOOD MOOD when he gets to go outside, even just for ten minutes like today. He came in to some coconut rice too. He had a good afternoon.

WOW Great pics!!!! Im missing taking my boy out i lost his harness

You'll have to get him a new one when you have a few extra dollars. Never hurts to have two if you find the original one. I may buy a backup harness too, since going out makes him so happy.

wow! what impressive flight photos! such a beautiful birdie I have a flight harness for the baby sun conure we are bringing home soon and I was wondering if you have any problems with rubbing? The bird store/rescue that I am buying him from mentioned to be careful about rubbing on new feathers coming in so they don't get irritated or something? I had never heard anything like that and I just wanted to know if you experienced anything like that? I would love to take our baby everywhere once we get him used to the harness

We have had no problems wearing the harness. He loves it and helps me put it on and take it off him. The only issue I had was that the harness seemed to be "pulled" at one of the metal connections at my wrist, and I was worried for its sturdiness, and sent it back to them to reinforce. They had it fixed/reinforced and back to me, no charge. I wouldn't be without it at this point It gives Gilbert a whole new life experience--shopping, beaches, walks, flight, outdoor music, etc. He is a more happy-go-lucky little guy because of it.

He is stunning against the white background! He looks quite pleased and seems to be having a great adventure.

He does enjoy being outside so much!! He seems 'bratty' when he is couped up in the house too much. I feel bratty when i'm couped up too much too!!
