Pretty picture! The best photos I can get of mine are them flapping hysterically, all blurry, trying to get away from the camera!

Awwwww...they're so cute!!! IF the budgies are handfed tamed, it's actually not hard to get them to stay on the T-perch to take a picture. I used to raise them years ago. It brings back memories....

Cute birdies! That's a great picture of them!

I don't have any problems with taking pictures of Chipper, and I didn't with Buddy either. The only problem is that I've just been using my cell phone camera to take pictures. I'm afraid of using a flash because I'm worried it would just freak Chipper out, so I haven't used a "real" camera to get pictures of him. And of course, there isn't enough light indoors so when I do get pictures of him, the quality isn't that great.

I have some awesome 35mm cameras (yes, I still use film, and in fact I can get better pictures with film than digital), and I really want to get some good pictures of Chipper. But I'm afraid that the flash or the sound of the shutter would scare him.

How do you guys get pictures of your birds? Do they get scared of cameras (either film or digital)? Do they get scared of a flash?

Interesting. This reminds me, I was just looking looking up budgie mutations in an attempt to put off essay writing. I found a really great website!

i just used my iphone5 to take the photos, and used photo-impact to edit the colour and light stuff.

before i could get them all for the pos, they actually had been flying here and there for ten minutes... lol...
