1. DDz Quorum B16Enk Posted January 29, 2007 1. DDz Quorum Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 Some one asked how the birds were doing, so here you go some shots of Charlie the Can-Opener with a four and a half foot wingspan. She's 8 and couldn't be handled 7 weeks ago.. [attach=1] Getting a scritch from Jane [attach=2] You looking at me? [attach=3] Another scritch just there where I'm pointing! [attach=4] I'm the good looking one on the right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAZZA Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 Thats one big bugger i like the slightly forced smile and tilt of the head that says your not quite happy with its domestication! (edit actually your smile looks genuine, you must be braver than I!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1. DDz Quorum B16Enk Posted January 29, 2007 Author 1. DDz Quorum Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 Look at that beak size...compared to the hand. Not sure what the nose picking bit is about though, she does that a lot - I think it's a form of restraint 'cos she realy wants to bite Yeah smile was genuine, she had just finished preening my eyelashes (after plucking a couple of stray whiskers from my face) so I knew she was going to be cool. Either that or having her tongue stuck down my ear put me at ease! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enforcer57 Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 Well, I see that is not an EX parrot, which is good, because then you'd probably want to be a lion tamer, or maybe a singing lumberjack with unusual orientation.

JensenPark Posted January 30, 2007 Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 Nice Rog: Two things: the parrot looks like it has better posture than you... in the top photo, it looks like the beak is cracked...or is that just th way it looks? How many you fostering right now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blairgowrie Posted January 30, 2007 Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 Beautiful bird Rog. I can see why you like them. BTW I think you should consider a name change to Jolly Rog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonar Posted January 30, 2007 Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 is that the bird that was locked in the cage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1. DDz Quorum B16Enk Posted January 30, 2007 Author 1. DDz Quorum Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 The cracking in the beak you see is natural flaking, caused as the beak grows (they grow constantly hence the wood demolishing they do to keep them in trim). They can suffer a condition where large flakes come off, this is usually a sign of diet deficiency. No this bird was not locked in a room for 5 years, she was bounced from home to home and became aggressive as a result. She had 6+ homes in 6 months...not good as they take 4 - 6 weeks to settle . This is the bird that was kept locked up for 5 years: She is 10 yrs old. [attach=1] The one on the right is what she should look like: [attach=2] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadAim Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 Damn, I'm sure glad she finally found a good home! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
