I don't expect to win but...

This was the first (and so far only) time Luna flew and landed on the boing.
Becuse it is in the entry way it had to be shortened with a zip tie or we would be hitting our head every time we go in/out of the house. That's why it looks off kilter.

A wonderful theme for this month, Allee! There's nothing like watching our birds experiencing something for the first time!

A new experience: Kermit’s first outdoor hike!

Just for fun:

Love this! Absolutely beautiful! Kermit is obviously enjoying his outdoor excursion! So cool, relaxed and at ease about the whole thing...




...unlike Maya was her first time out! Lol! If sheer panic had a face, this would be it! Just for fun!

And here she was after around 15 minutes when it finally hit that she might survive her encounter with the outdoors. Lol!

Golly Stephen...Maya is just sooooo gorgeous! Wow!

Tucker and Baxter. New friends, well, we hope. Not bad for the first meeting.

Don't you just love it when your bird FINALLY decides to use the toy that you got for them? I felt the same way when Jolly first flew to the boing sphere I'd hung up MONTHS before in the family room! All things in their own time, eh?

Thanks, Jim! After the incident where a bunch of her pin feathers inexplicably came out all at once, she's begun plucking at any new feather that comes in. But I'm working to get her back to where she was in that pic. (Though she's still my gorgeous girl no matter what.) Wish us luck!

Tucker and Baxter. New friends, well, we hope. Not bad for the first meeting.

Zip ties are magic! Super cute photo of Luna with a newly discovered toy! Great entry and perfect for the contest theme.

The beginning of a long, happy friendship! Love the mutual curiosity on the faces of these two beauties.
 
I love the pictures!
Maya's panickface really made me laugh out loud! :D

Kise's new playground really is impressive- great way of using an existing item (daybedframe) and make it into parrotwonderland- love it!


for a first time:
Unfortunately no pictures from me- so you have to use your imagination ;)
Japie did a serious regurge attempt to flirt with Appie this evening.
at the same time:
She tried to beg some scritches from him (so they are still not on the same page) ...
They are soooo clumsy (and cute) about it.

Usually Appie is about the 'give me the food, any food' but somehow she decided to try something different, while Japie usually does not understand or act on her "feed me NOW!" demands.
Now he was trying to feed her ...
(you could see it in his eyes: "Women, I will *never* understand them!" )
 
New Rules!

Cairo thought the gates of heaven opened when I broke the glass lid of his treat jar. My partner quickly 3D-printed a new lid with a tongue-in-cheek message.

Not sure Cairo is happy with the new rules....

I certainly don't think I'll win but that doesn't mean I can't give it a shot!:D



Here's Cookie's first day in her New Home!

Ares enjoying a new toy. Toys are a relatively new concept for him. When he arrived, he arrived with just a swing. Anything new in the cage terrified him, including this toy. Now he plays with toys happily. In fact, two days ago I took this picture and it's almost gone. :)
 
Ares looks SO happy!!


Great picture :)

I was able to get your adorable photo to show:) Matey looks so curious while checking out his new foraging box!

All the photos this month are so inspiring, it is wonderful to see so many birds enjoying a new experience.

A brand new foraging box to explore! Matey is a real beauty!
