I'd be interested in any further information about your birds. Perhaps you could create a thread about them and put their pictures in there and we can ask about them?(I don't want to take over this thread, but feel free to PM me if you have any further questions)

Panama Amazon (1 Y.O.)
Equal time for Py... even though this may be the better picture... Demitre deserves the credit.
The difference being Py would skate slowly a few feet. Whereas Demitre would get a running start, hop on the thing, and zip all the way across the coffee table, and then fly onto the couch... and do his happy dance. Set it up again, this is FUN!

If you notice, Demitre's stance is a lot wider, his chest was arched, and his tail feathers are actually bent sideways with the wind, because he was really moving...
Py has his feet together, and is moving at the speed of a snail...
Demitre seemed to try and see how fast he could get the thing to go. He would actually get a running start and then hop on the thing and shoot across the table... He could entertain himself like that for half an hour or more at a time. Just set him down on the coffee table with a little skateboard. Keep picking it up and putting it back for him.
He learned to skateboard by watching Py. Eventually, he chased Py off the board, took it away from him, and the rest was history. Conures skateboarding across my living room fell within my definition of normal everyday occurrence...

Honestly, I don't really care. I'll leave that to the discretion of the board. You pick it. If you want to DQ me, for too many photos, that's fine too. I just wanted to share these two...

Nobody's DQ'ing you, Mark! Lol! Especially not with great pics like those! But the reminder has to be put out there so that we're all on the same page. Know what I mean?
My opinion? Use Py's pic. He may not be the daredevil of the two, but in that pic he definitely wins out for presentation.

Yes, mine. I've had people steal photos of my animals before and claim them as their own, so I've been leery lately. Thanks.
