My caiques were being particularly meltingly cute today, and I had to share! Yes, caiques do sit quietly sometimes. Blurry, but I had to post it for the yawn! Peek. I love the way Daedalus holds Icarus' head while she preens him. Peek! The toe in the beak slays me. Poof. Time for a hazelnut! Hazelnuts give us the crazy eyes! This is one tough...

It's been far too long since my last photo post, my friends. Today, I will remedy that. :) Yes, caiques do sit quietly sometimes. Blurry, but I had to post it for the yawn! Peek.

These things need to happen so infrequently that I usually forget to work on training the behaviors until it's too late. Because of this, my birds have developed some fear of the nail clippers.
