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..

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 :icon_lol:

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!

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.

The one on the right is what she should look like:
