Depp breath: Calpyso the pale-head rosella at the very top. Georgie, the cinnamon tiel checking her out. Logan, the whiteface pearl pied, and Storm, the whiteface cinnamon pearl, on the pink ladder below Georgie. Cloud, the whiteface pied, and Max, the grey male, are on the top perch, with ringneck Jack keeping an eye on them all from beside the bottlebrush!
It's been a while since my last post here, so please enjoy some complimentary photos of the birdroom residents for the last few months!
Sandi, Sammi and Joey
Sandi and Sammi are sun conures, not related. Joey, the little Jenday, is easy to pick out with the bigger suns flanking her. She was a truly sweet little bird, quiet and loving!
Sandy was an interesting conure; she was bred from pied sun conure stock, and in the time she spent in the birdroom, she developed large yellow pied splashes over her wings, which started out nearly fully green!
Sandy with her special buddy Jay the Quaker
Joey with Silver, a ringneck - the first one of this year's season! Hopefully we'll see more soon, plus their big cousins, alexandrines!

Three lovely little cockatiels!
These guys were just utterly adorable together! They're all scaly-breasted lorikeets, two normals (greens) and a lutino (yellow). Rascal is on the right, Sasha in the center, and Scamp on the left.
A young rainbow lorikeet with Rascal and Scamp the scaly loris.
Sherbet, the short-billed Corella.
Pablo, a two-and-year-old Alexandrine who came to us because her previous owners had wanted a male Alex, which are better talkers. Poor girl, imagine being given up just because she didn't talk well enough! she found a lovely new home very quickly, such a sweetheart - and I had my suspicions "she" was a male anyway, since there was a faint ring starting to show around the neck. Only time will tell though!
Some aviary birds: A blue ringneck, red-fronted Kakariki, green ringneck, and a lovely little Western Rosella.
And here's some of the current residents!
Grass parrots from the aviary: A male turquoise parrot watches a cinnamon Elegant parrot taking off. Three hen yellow turquoise parrots watch from the perch behind. These are small species of Australian parrots, and come in come magnificent colours!
Two more sun conures from the same pied breeder, with Trouble and Trix, two green-cheek conures.
Jack, the wonderfully cuddly long-billed corella, getting some attention from me. He recently found a home with one of our staff members, he was a bird who would steal your heart!
A male pale-head Rosella - one of the nicest coloured up Rosellas I've seen in months!
A blue Princess who I never got around to referring to anything but 'Priness' which she thoroughly acts anyway, so the name stuck!
A sibling to Sasha, the lovely Lutino Scaly, Sunny. Yes, she is this cute in real life! She loves to wrestle with me, and will lie on her back and grab my fingers gently with her beak and feet. So gentle and loving, bound to make the perfect little pet for any family who could devote the time to her she so richly deserves!
