Photos of my birds today

[Die Fledermaus]

THIS IS THE LINK!

As I posted elsewhere on RR, yesterday two of them had their wings clipped for safety reasons and to help with taming.

You can see Candy the Quaker (already clipped) seems to like Felicity the Lovebird - they were grooming each other - but in the last photo you see one of Francine the cockatiel's feathers in Candy's beak! They did not get along this time (they did previously) and were separated.

I will take them out of their cages, and let them come out. Getting Felicity out is tricky as she likes to hide in her nesting box.

This is a different link, but the same photos: Birds on Webshots

Here is one photo of many:

They look very lovely together. No pun intended, lol. How would clipping their wings make them tamer?

Because they would be unable to fly off away from me and would have to get used to me more and rely on me for much movement.

That worked yesterday fairly well with Francine.

Okay they have to rely on you for flight, but they still have one powerful beak and could use it. You don't worry about them biting you?

A little. Never with Candy, a little with Francine, and a little more with Felicity the Lovebird who has the biggest beak! I do pick up Felicity with a glove. Don't want to do that as it might scare them, but I will stop eventually.

They are in here loose, now, all of them. Ha! Felicity and Candy are together on the floor perched on something. They really seem to get along. Francine less so.

No cats in here until they are all in their cages! Interesting watching their behavior walking around. They cannot stay in the cages 24/7 -too boring for them, and they will never get used to me.
