TBone is so tame

For a parent raised conure, it's amazing that TBone is as tame as he is.  Lots and lots of love and understanding from his human Dad!! He is a funny little bird, often grouchy, and had a very testing adolescence, but he has turned into the most delightful little character.  Here he is in his Dad's hand!

TBone and Charlie the conures have come to stay

TBone and Charlie have come to stay for a week or two while TBone senior gets on with the painting. They are such fun - full of mischief, curiousity and madness!!

Here they are wrecking my paper on Sunday evening but I forgave them that as they amused me haha

Even more progress with Ted

Yesterday I came home from a weekend away and Ted flew to me almost immediately when I let him out. He then stayed with me on and off (although I am looking after T-bone and Charlie the conures as well so am needing to share my time out.

Ted repeated this today so I would say he's decided he likes me!

Progress today with the little man ...

Ted started flying to me yesterday , urged on with millet! He stayed with me quite a while yesterday on a couple of occasions . Today he was out of his cage for probably the longest period of time - about 8 hours or more. He seemed to enjoy himself today and even took a look when I was cleaning out his cage - stopping to have a good look when I took toys out for a clean! He got really close to me but didn't seem to want to have a head scratch which is something cockatiels love. A bit later I sat down and he was very keen to come over so again I tempted him with some millet. He stayed quite a while and we enjoyed each other's company. Sophie took a photo:

Lacock Abbey

This week we went to Lacock Abbey in Wiltshire.  What a beautiful place, great for taking photographs.  So wished I had taken my Nikon!  Instead I used my iphone using the app Hiptamatic and here are some of my shots:

Sunrise

Yesterday I woke just after 3 and for the first time in a long while, was able to see the sunrise, and what a beauty she was ......

Camping

I'm camping in Calne in Wiltshire with my daughter Sophie snd with my new tent. So far so good. Got a bit burnt today. So hot! Had a lovely evening listening to owls and ducks and looking at shooting stars and the milky way. What will tomorrow bring?
