It's me, with old Tom Turkey hanging out with the flock. They don't seem at all fazed by the gigantic bird in their midst.

Well one of your tiels seeming preoccupied picking her nose.

Congratulations!

That's Mims. She's probably going for a chin scratch, although she has another technique for doing it that's a lot more interesting to watch. She can lift her foot up under her chin with the toes clenched loosely, sort of like a fist, and slowly scratch her chin with one toenail, pretty similar to the way a human would scratch their chin. I've never seen any other cockatiel do that. She's going for the traditional leg behind the wing speed scritch in this picture. I'd like to see a human try THAT.

I suppose I could try, but it won't be the most glamorous sight.

Have somebody take a video while you do it, then post it here so we can all laugh at you.

Tielfan, that's how George used to do it! I must fish up an old video of him doing it and show it to you. It was absolutely fascinating to watch

Congrats!! I miss that POW. I remember how excited I was when I first read your post.

LOL!

Carolyn..is that a toy in front that is kind of green?

If you mean the green bird that's standing in front of the turkey, that is a real live Princess of Wales parakeet! Unfortunately I didn't get to keep him permanently.
