Handraised Birds everywhere!

Tis' the season for baby birds, and I've got a heap of handraised birds! Here's some pretty photos of the group. 

Closeup of Gem, the pineapple green-cheek conure!

Gem, snuggling with a red-collar lorikeet!

Awww!

Gem and a scaly lorikeet!

 Gem with his red-collar and scaly lorikeet pals!

The two scaly lorikeets who are best friends, Spring and Summer (Spring = Green, Summer = yellow). Spring has a huge crush on Summer - if you pick her up, he wails until he gets to go too! They're only being sold together because they've bonded so closely. 

I  know this one it out of focus, but I couldn't resist an actual photo of this idiotic scaly lorikeet leaping entirely off the cage! This, incidentally, is why he's called Spring, although it did also have something to do with his colour :P 

Summer lying on her side!

  

 The red-collars, scalys, alexes and Gem the conure after a bath session! 

And here's Lolly, the Princess parrot - a favourite with the whole staff, she's so very sweet!

 

This is a video of the lorikeets (Two scalys and two red-collars) plus Gem the pineapple green-cheek conure having a bath (and a quick meal in ?Gem's case!) 

Bathtime and playtime videos!

Just wanted to upload this video of two scaly lorikeets, a normal and a Lutino (yellow) having a bath! A rainbow and a red collar x rainbow watch from the background - the scalys are little bullies, and won't let the bigger guys in the bath with them!

 

And this is Lolly, our princess parrot, playing with her favourite dice toy! 

I know, it's been an age! Been busy with both work and life, but I'm going to start sneaking in my camera to work, and updated a bit more regularly! 

So, here's a few of my current Bird residents:   

 A cute budgie!

I've just gotten a bunch of new handraised birds in, so I'm going to have a big photo session, keep your eyes out!
