Hey all!

Been a while since I've thrown up a flock update, so I decided to post some of the pics I took of my molting duo. Mostly from yesterday, and mostly of Maya who was feeling particularly photogenic.

LOVED this one of our resident diva!

This is the focused look Maya gets when I talk to her. Especially after a shower.

And check out the crazy eyes when I whistle for her! Hahaha! Happens every time!

Jolly grabbed some shower time as well.

It always cracks me up how different he looks when wet. He's like another bird!

Wow how beautiful are these guys. Jolly looks like a stuffed toy out of the shower lol. Truly adorable. God bless you guys x
 
that first picture of Jolly really does make him look like a stuffed toy HAHA!

Always love seeing some Ekkie pictures, I definitely find them to be the "lookers" of the parrot world (Don't let the Conures know I said that!)
 
magnificent colors on Ms Jolly! Love them Ekkie faces as usual :D Thanks for the shoot!!

They're so other-world-ishly beautiful. Especially Maya, of course. Who would even IMAGINE a pair of parrots looking like that? van Gogh, maybe.
Eye-openning. Better than coffee. Louder, though. :)

Thanks! And yeah, Jolly does have that whole fluff-n-puff thing going on when he gets out of the shower. Lol! God bless you, too.

The funny thing to me is how swiftly Maya is able to get herself looking all dried off and made up as opposed to Jolly. So he has the stuffed toy look for at least twice as long as Maya does.

"The lookers of the parrot world." Her Royal Highness the Lady Maya would agree wholeheartedly with you. Jolly would just nod absently as he searched you for food.

Thanks, Jim! Yeah, there's just something about those ekkie faces that just melts the heart, isn't there? And even after years, it hits you anew every time.

Thank you! They still take my breath away, Abigail! But you're right. Definitely louder than coffee! Lol!

❤️ them, thank you

You're welcome! And that makes two of us, because I love them, too!
 
It is so understandable that it took years to come to the concussion that they are the same species! The differences are near overwhelming. Yes, the coloration, but the eyes and surrounding areas shapes!

Thanks for the photos, a joy as always!
 
You're welcome, Steven!

Yes, I agree. Body shape, coloration, eyes... hard to blame people for initially assuming that they were separate species. Works for me, though. No DNA tests, here! Lol!
 
They are gorgeous!! :heart:
 
MJ!!!!!! Thanks for sharing Stephen :-)

You know what I’d love? A review of their cages/playstands, their principle living and play areas:)
 
Yay! More pictures of the absolutely gorgeous Maya & Jolly!
Stephen, they are literally glowing with health and happiness, my Friend.
I think Ekko may be in love with Maya, while giving the side eye ekkie stare at Jolly.

Thank you!!! Yes, they take my breath away.

You're most welcome, Chris!

I'm doing a bit of a renovation of their living and play areas, so I'll make sure to throw up some pics once I'm done.

Yay! More pictures of the absolutely gorgeous Maya & Jolly!

Thanks, Terr!

Hahahahaha! I don't think Ekko needs to give Jolly the side eye. Poor Jolly is getting no play whatsoever from Miss Maya! Lol! So her dance card is open!
 
Ekko would like to know if she will save the last dance for him?
 
She just gave a very coy look in response. These birds have more game than I ever did. Lol!
 
Oh, yes. I LOVE Maya's eye rings. The blue eye liner is mesmerizing! 80's eye makeup? Hahaha! I know what you mean.

And though I wish I could take credit for their synchronized wave, I must, in all honesty, admit that it was merely fortuitous timing. Lol!
 
HEY! I wore blue eyeliner in the 80s!
