Everyone in the Birdroom had a great time. In particular, by the evening, the Grass parrot aviary which is also home to Canaries and Java Finches had every leaf stripped from the branches!

The Chestnut Breasted Manikins don't stay still long enough to photograph!
"This would be perfect camofluage... if I were actually green?" - Lutino Scaly Lorikeet.
The curious Green Cheeks were into everything - here one checks the taste of sivlerbeet.
Snacking on some pine needles!
Mmm-mmm.
Green Cheek Conure apparently thinks pine is tasty.
Lutino Kakarikis hop right on over to check out the greenstuff!

Alex came into the Birdroom for a while - usually he lives in his cage by the register - to share in the fun. Princess of course wanted to be friends and Alex, who isn't aware he's a bird, freaked out an ran away from the 'savage beast'...
"Get awaaaay!"
Princess gives the nod of approval!
Princess claims a pile of greenery.
Princess, in the middle of flying the half a foot between the playstand and the cagetop. Such a lovely girl she is - independent for a hand raised bird, but certainly a character.
Tomorrow we have a few new arrivals - including two hand-raised cockatiels and a Musk Lorikeet. Hopefully they'll all settle in well and get along with everyone! More to come soon.
