Selfie with your bird :)

[Kiwibird]

Jokergirl- Great pics. I do hope your your Sam is ok and it was just a 'one off' occurrence. He's a handsome guy, you don't see many white fronts. Can we assume you work at a zoo or wildlife park? Playing with birds for a job must be fun!

 

[JokerGirl]

Yeah, the White-Fronts aren't very common at all, and especially not the Lesser WFA. Any of the ones I've seen in person have been at least twice his size with different green.

He seems to be alright right now. He started having a lot of blood in his stools about a month ago today, and I took him in to our Avian vet on an emergency basis at 9pm. I'm still waiting on pathology from the second endoscope, but we are suspicious that it may have been a trauma event or is a tumour. How he would've hurt his kidney, I have no idea, but the vet says she's never seen anything like it.

I did at one time work at our local zoo, but decided not to continue after a year there. It was too much of a health risk to my two at home. I would take my clothes off in the front door and shower before going anywhere near them. It was loads of fun working with the birds, but it also meant a ton of interaction with the public due to the open access to the aviaries.

This pic is about 4 years old but still one of my favorite "group" pics!

They sat still and stayed on their designated shoulder, no arguing because neither wanted to leave their shoulder, lol. This is the closest they've been being with me.

Venus, Ekkie

This is Samson, he isnt mine but I love him all the same. Wish the store he lives at would finally sell him to me.
Next ones are mine

Wow that's great !!! Tell us what hes like ? A pet of yours?

 

[Pinkbirdy]

This is Owen who loves my daughter !! She always gets the better picture with her IPhone [which I don't have]. He yells her name Julia!! all the time . Which I think is a hard word to say .

 

[Aandeg]

Aandeg passed away last fall. I was heartbroken.

Crows are fantastic pets but totally illegal to keep. So I was always paranoid when taking him about. He loved to ride in the car though and saw everything. Very smart, very playful, and very mischievous.

I sure miss him.

Here is a selfie with one of my favorite birds I work with, Chelsea. She is a super sassy extreme mutilator who has given me a good handful of battle scars but we are getting along much better these days

Tiki, another one of the birds I work with. He is basically a gigantic love marshmallow. I could bury my face in his feathers forever

Annnnnnnd a snuggley Espresso selfie.

I've been quite enjoying this thread, so it's only fair that I jump in, right? Sorry for the low quality shots. They don't do Maya and Bixby justice at all, but here goes...

Here are two double ekkie shots!

Oh I love this thread so much! It's great to see what the members and their birds look like! So many nice people here.

 

[Anansi]

[Pinkbirdy]

LOL Anansi [I like the determined preening shot]. So nice of you to share and see Bixby. You must miss him. Ive lost a few birds this past year too

 

[Taw5106]

Anansi, gorgeous pics! Love the preening, is Maya a stickler about "I will preen you, no doesn't comply"? Venus is, lol.

 

[Anansi]

LOL Anansi [I like the determined preening shot]. So nice of you to share and see Bixby. You must miss him. Ive lost a few birds this past year too

Thank you, Terri! Yes, I do miss him. So very much. But I know that you can definitely identify. And I'm so sorry for your losses. Losing more than one in succession must be so difficult. But you've obviously been strong for the rest of your flock.

I love this thread! It's been great getting to see so many of our fellow members and their fids. Great idea!

 

[Anansi]

Anansi, gorgeous pics! Love the preening, is Maya a stickler about "I will preen you, no doesn't comply"? Venus is, lol.

Thank you, Tracy! Maya LIVES to preen! Hahaha! I just crack up because she is completely unfazed when I cut my hair that low. I'm like, "Just what, exactly, are you preening?" Lol! Maybe I should go back to my afro? Hahaha!
