Lucy on a Mission ...

... to go visit Kylie

Finally made it! They were both good birds so I let Lucy stay for a few minutes.

Then Kylie was rewarded with her own time out and a piece of wood to chew on. It took her about 10 minutes to destroy and I had quite the mess to vacuum up afterwards. But a busy beak is a happy bird!

Avian Organics - Bird Bannock Bread

Finally had some time to bake the Bird Bannock Break from Avian Organics yesterday morning. I haven't gotten pictures of them eating it yet because we've had lots of company over the past 2 days, but there's lots to go around so I'll get pictures within the next couple days.

Very Happy With My New Camera!

Here are some pictures I took of Lucy tonight. Now that I'm learning how to use the camera and learning a little about photography my pictures are coming out better. I got some great close ups tonight.

New Camera = More Bird Pictures

I only asked for one thing for Christmas this year and that was a new camera. I was getting really annoyed with the 5-year old point and shoot camera we had. After dropping hints for months it paid off and I got a new Fujifilm Finepix F80 EXR. As much as I would love a DSLR camera that was a little out of the budget range so I'm very happy with this camera. It can act as a simple point and shoot camera but it also has a manual mode where you can set everything yourself. That is my challenge in the new year is to learn more about photography and make as much use of this camera as possible. Oh and I also got a tripod as well.

So while the birds had time out of their cages this afternoon I was busy snapping pictures. I'm playing around with the various settings on the camera, but so far I'm pleased with the pictures. You guys be the judge.

Merry Christmas!

Unfortunately, no pictures today. But I did want to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year from me, Lucy, Jessie and Kylie. I look forward to a new year and getting to know Kylie even better and continuing to enjoy their companionship.
