I am SO happy theres been some nice weather lately and Kiwi can come out. Today he got a good bath and to dry out in the sun. Naturally, I couldn't *not* chase him with my camera. I thought the pics came out fabulous and just had to share (keep in mind he's semi wet, thus the funky feathers) :D I may need to go into a second post on this one:eek:

He reminds me of a wild parrot in this one​

Great pictures! You can tell he knows what a handsome boy he is in that next to last picture. And he certainly deserves a rest after his big day:)

He's so cute when he naps on my leg. Though, my leg will start to go to sleep really bad, yet I don't want to move because he's soooooooo cute!

@Getwozzy- did Chile get some belated birthday sunshine today:)

She gets it through her window! Lol

She is currently terrified of outside because there is a big pine tree in our yard that red tails perch in- and their nest is on the other corner of the property ...and lots of crows and blue jays are always around....and I don't have a travel cage for her yet :(

But she does enjoy sitting on her window perch :)

I hope you get some good weather soon too:). Do your birds all like to go out in the summer and get baths? I know outside baths are one of the biggest joys and amazon can have, what about your macaws?

I always enjoy seeing pics of your Kiwi, his feathers are stunning, so shiny and bright! :D And I agree that he appears to know just how handsome he is!
