Here they are... My boys

It seems I mention Robin and Raven with such regularity that I thought it might be time for some pics

I've been so busy lately, but today I'm able to be home this afternoon. Spending some time with the boys...

Robin (Red Bellied parrot) is the bird who I've loved like a child for almost 20 years now. Out of all the birds/pets I've ever had, HE stands out as the most special, beloved, most bonded one ever.

Raven (Bronze Winged Pionus) is Robin's roommate. They're definitely NOT friends, and it was hard getting the last photo... I had to take it quickly before Robin turned to attack Raven even though he's half his size.
Robin hates birds :52:

Enjoy!

Julie, they are both so beautiful!!!
Robin hates birds...that is priceless

RavensGryf · May 19, 2014

UGH!! I'll have to try that again

I uploaded 3 pics, and there's only one, and sideways.

It's been a while since I've posted pics and forgot how. What a BOZO :30:
What I'd like to do, is post several pics in the same post, with captions by each.
:31:

SO freakin adorable!! I may get a red bellied some day in the future. They are so precious!

Your boys are so handsome!

What a pair they are! So glad you decided to share a pic of them

Was Robin named so due to his similar appearance to the songbird? Raven is beautiful too. Is he really that dark, or is it just the photo? He looks like a miniature vasa parrot, very striking!

Aww, they are beautiful birds.

Thanks April, I'm still having a bit of trouble with my photobucket app, but when I get it going, I'll post more

Back when I got Robin, I wasn't very good at naming, so I asked my dad and he suggested Robin because yes, as you say, he has the orange breast like the songbird Robin. One drawback throughout his life though, is that virtually everyone thinks he's a girl when they hear the name (unless they know male RB are the orange ones).

Raven is named after a Raven because he's very dark. My phone camera doesn't take great pics as far as color goes, but yes he is that dark in color. I can't really tell what color his back is, it's a mix of blue-ish, grayish, and brownish. He wouldn't turn around, but his front is more of a dark blue with a salmon pinkish 'bib' on his throat. I don't want to jinx it, but he's actually been such a good boy the past couple days

I'm guessing Raven is a *tad* naughtier than Robin? Robin has 'cute sweetie pie' eyes. Raven has devious eyes

My Kiwi has the 'devious' eyes too. You can tell a lot about their personality in their eyes. I guess it's something like micro facial expressions, only relating to parrots!

RavensGryf · May 20, 2014

Very observant about the eyes! Ohhh yeah, Raven is a MUCH naughtier boy than Robin. He will even give dirty looks believe it or not!

I noticed Robin's eyes in the photo look gray, they're actually red.
Robin used to have the devil in him too when he was younger and hormonal like a typical male Red Bellied. Now as an older man, he IS my little cuddly sweetie pie

......... usually.

veimar · May 20, 2014

Aww, they are so cute! I love their colors and facial expressions.

parrotlover1176 · May 21, 2014

Wow, you have some gorgeous boys!!

Anansi · May 21, 2014

Yessss! Finally we get to see the famous Raven and Robin! They are beautiful, Julie, and very well worth the wait. Anxiously awaiting the rest of those pics!

getwozzy · May 21, 2014

Beautiful boys!!! I love how Raven is so dark! Very stunning! And Robin with his red belly! Very handsome!

GW.Joe · May 21, 2014

Loved the picture, you are so blessed to have shared 20 years with Robin :smile015:

LOL, come to think of it that's longer than "most" marriages

Thanks for sharing !!

Joe

Second page has a better pic with more true color. Pix wasn't up to taking a good picture. Next time I post pics (soon) I'll post everyone

RavensGryf · May 22, 2014

How about your Black Lory Malachai? Can you post him for me? They're so cool.

riddick07 · May 22, 2014

Pretty Boys!!

The shelter has a black lory named Poe...a bit cliche but admit he caught my attention right away that first day I went to the shelter! The lories are way too messy for me though even the awesome looking Poe

Here they are... My boys
