Tom the Con-Man and the Flock!

[zERo]

I decided (and should’ve long ago!) to do a flock picture thread! I’ll try to post pics as often as I can!

 

[LaManuka]

Awwwww @zERo, what a beautiful flock! They all look so happy and well cared for, and all very photogenic as well Thank you for sharing these pics with us!!

What's the bird with the pointed beak?

Oh! That’s Milly, she’s a house sparrow, my dad found her in a gas station parking lot.
She’s missing the flight feathers and tip of her left wing.

Oh! The one who needs a dust bath! What a lucky little girl!

Hard to believe Milly has been with me for 7 months at the end of Feb!
Photo dump! Her tail is shredded, I wish she wouldn’t do that but I guess it’s because she’s a baby? Well young at least.

I know! I can’t weigh her yet but I estimate maybe 20-25 grams. She has such an attitude too!

 

[LaManuka]

Oh she's half the size of my Lovejoy, he was a "hefty" 49 grams at his last vet visit. And ain't it always the way that the littlest ones have the most attitude - mine certainly do. Looking at Milly's lovely little face just makes me smile!

Hopefully, one day I can pick her up or train her to hop onto the scale! I could maybe trick her onto it with some food.
She’s a funny thing, she loves the color green, especially when she can eat it! Lol!
I follow your thread for Lovejoy! He’s such a pretty guy!

Yay I love seeing your fids!! They are all so cute!!!

Tee hee, he's chasing the cockatiels around the house right now, he's a quarter of their size but he's got them both on the run. No shortage of sass and/or attitude there!!

Thanks! And I love seeing Ona!

I imagine when more like if Milly gets to meet the parrots she’ll chase them too! Hopefully the budgies like her.

 

[LaManuka]

Hopefully the budgies like her.

Oh I hope they do too, that would just be toooooooo cute!! 😍

I’ll share each of their stories too!
Today, I’ll do Hedwigs. I saw an ad on Craigslist, a blurry pic with that typical little cage from Petco, one dowel, no toys, and she was eating some cheap seed mix. I got her at 2 years old. Shell be 4 years in June.
It surprised me how nice she was almost immediately.
Sad to see a nice bird ignored and alone.

Love her name and that you rescued her to give her a better life!

I thought I have to name at least one of my birds someone from Harry Potter! Lol.

So many budgies end up where Hedwig was and it's so awfully sad. Thank goodness you found each other - Hedwig is a beauty! 😍

Thanks! She was very rough looking when I first got her, but has molted into a lovely girl.
