Official Entry of Tiki and Big Fluffy

Wow, Corona sure does live up to his nickname, doesn't he?! That's a very sweet pair of little buddies you've got there, @DonnaBudgie, thank you for your entry

They are gorgeous! I don't think I've ever seen that shiny silver color on a budgie before.

I looked back at pictures of Tiki when he was growing up. Tiki was four months old in the video with Big Fluffy. He was molting his stripes and his cere was turning blue. Judging by the dark tip on Chaplin's beak and the position of his forehead stripes, I would say that Chaplin was only 4 months old in the picture. His cere is turning blue but isn't completely turned yet. At 6 months they are sexually mature with no stripes in front of their eyes with bright blue ceres.
Buster looks like a mutation that will keep his pinkish cere for life. Is he pied.

Oh, Smartypants, now you've done it. I don't listen to this song often because it always makes me cry. The tender beauty of the song and Roberta's beautiful voice really touches that special birdie-spot in our hearts, doesn't it? For the youngsters in the crowd, I'm providing a link whilst I choose an entry. The year was 1972, which make this recording even older than the Rb... even older than... than...

Yep, this POTM was a nod to the immortal Roberta Flack. And I'm looking forward to seeing an official entry from you too, @GaleriaGila, this theme is right up your alley and no POTM would be complete without you and the Rb!

Those head preenings feel so nice!

It seems to put Corona into a budgie nirvana. Show budgie breeders call the big fluffy heads "blow". It's a big compliment to say "that bird has great blow"!

Found you, Teeko!!

Geez you're going to have to make it a little harder for me next time, @TeekoGreenCheek. Maybe in your official entry

I am so sad that we can’t participate! Kabuki came into my care on September 9, 1974! I no longer have a photo of that special day 51 years ago. I have photos through the decades and he looks exactly the same as the day I got him! Macaws definitely age better than humans.

No reason why you can't enter, @Macawdamia Nut. Whether the photo is from 1974, from yesterday or from somewhere in between, you fell in love with Kabuki back then and the sentiment is exactly the same now.
