Nike a Hawk Head Parrot (Deroptyus accipitrinus)
Hi All,

I adopted Nike last year on December 20th. She has been a great bird and while not as cuddly as a baby she's been a good companion and is part of our family.

Here's a couple of pics I took the other day, nothing special.

RIP Gandalf and Big Bird, you are missed.
Oh, very special! Nike is beautiful, and the first image enlarges to view the exquisite detail! Happy one year anniversary, many more!!

Happy anniversary, stranger! Great photos of a beautiful bird!
I'm a stranger because life has gotten busy again. Hope to be around more. ;)

Here's a rather boring vid of Nike...well, mostly me trying to get her to say something. She spends much of her day on that boing.

Thank-you, I was getting seriously short on Hank head time! Nike's really looking great, what stunning colour.

Keep the Nike Pic's coming!


FYI: With the size of his tail feathers' his 90 degree turns much be something to see!

She just took a bath in her bowl. Halfway through it I brought her to the shower and soaked her. She decided she hadn't had enough and spent another few minutes in her water bowl.

I don't remember if I've told you before, but you are one heck of a photographer! Love the pics of Nike! She's beautiful.
