FINALLY after 3 months of having Lilly home, and at 6 months of age, she has dropped one of her trimmed flight feathers and hopefully she'll drop and regrow the rest too in the coming months! Although she flies quite well it does seem to take a lot of effort to stay aloft with the clipped feathers, she has to put in a mighty effort to get anywhere and I'm so looking forward to her getting her natural abilities back (can't say the same for Fang though, his only option is to outrun her but it won't be long now!)
My little girlie is growing up
Meanwhile here is a picture of La Principessa doing her second favourite thing which is snoozing. She had the choice of several dozen softer, cooler, comfier places to have a nap, but no, she plonked herself down on my drinkie table beside my couch and prompty fell asleep. Fang and I agree on one thing, let the sleeping bird lie cos then we get 5 minutes peace!
Nitey nite sweet Lilly, and dream of the day when you will soar like a little green missile!
