It's warm enough that my birds get to go into the backyard and play (all wings clipped and we did several test outtings last year so very tiny chance of escape). They missed going out through the long New England winter that never ended and still trying to come back. When we pass by a window on a walk around the house, they would get all excited thinking they would be going out. Well there was a break in the weather a couple months ago where it got a 65 (right before another snowstorm) and these are the pics from then. Ignore the dates.
Thanks to Petey's clingy need, the birds got a work out. Popper ran the whole length of the yard to escape. They went back and forth several times before he gave up and let Petey hang (this is what started an agressive search for a buddy for Petey).
Popper (hates other birds) is trying to outrun Petey who has major bird separation anxiety issues. You can still see Petey in the pic running to catch up as Popper thinks he's free.
Petey: "Pleeeease don't leeeeeave meeeeee!! He left me. *sigh* Now I have nothing to do but yell and whistle very loudly until Mom gives me millets" (which he got)
And of course, their favorite perch site:
Petey: "Look at me! I'm blending!"
Popper: "Yeah yeah, just stay back there and let me cluck to Mom. Hmm, I wonder if I should had used SPF 45 today."
