Callum- GCC Hatchday: October 15th, 2016
(nonparrot friends include rats, a dog, and a few reptiles :))
I'd love to get a picture of Callum with his wings slightly spread out. He, if excited (or when he's about to poo lol) will spread his wings. I'd love to get the contrast between his green and blue feathers.

I'd love to get the absolutely stunning photos like Scott posted of Gabby, just to showcase Callum's beautiful tail feathers, but Callum doesn't pose. He bites the phone.

Loving these shots, brother! Gabby has always been beautiful, but he's even more so when captured in mid-flight. Nice!

We're rooting for you getting those pics! We're dying to see that contrast, too!

Jacob the blue and gold macaw
This thread is making me so excited to see Jacob finally be able to fly once he gets all his wing feathers back. He can probably fly already but he just doesn't know it yet.

None. My wife has one too many. Kidding!
Stunning entries. You all belong in National Geographic.

Meanwhile back at the ranch........................ multiple hazardous crouches under menacing flyovers finally produced this entry. The adoring giggles of my lovely missus outweighed the threatening squawks of my rival. Barely.

Just look at those gorgeous colors on Eddie! They just pop! I'm entranced, here! That wing spread is breathtaking!

Hahahahahaha! Rival, you have perfectly captured the ferocity of the R.B's deadly strafing runs! I'm impressed you had the presence of mind to get the camera up in time! Consider me duly intimidated!

I can post this right?

My big, dog-like "bird" showing off his wings.

These photos are from 2 years ago, I don't remember who put the wings on him, but it was adorable.

I've got a similar picture, it was my previous pitbull wearing angel wings and a halo, the way she was laying would make a perfect calender photo. I'll post it once I find it, I sure miss that dog!
