What else is there in the morning...
than the urge to whore out pictures of The birds? Nothing.


For anyone who's wondering.. Smeagol is the older of the two, both are normal grey males, and therefore Smeagol is the one with the bright yellow head. Apparenlty, Gollum is a camera whore, as one can tell when I let my hair down and Gollum just had to crank his neck around my hair so that he could stare at the camera, and even still that was not enough, he then decided to climb down my arm to be closer to the action, he sure is turning into quite a character. In other news, yesterday I put both birds on Smeagol's mirror perch (shower perch that we attach to our full length mirrors in the living room) and Gollum decided to play with the string I attached to the end of the perch. I was pleasantly surprised to see him grab and hold it with his foot, while he continued to nibble at it. I have witnessed this kind of foot play in other parrots, but Smeagol has never done it, always only utilizing his beak. It was adorable. Gollum has already begun to mimick the tone of "Smeagol", though it doesn't quite yet compare to how well Smeagol can actually say it. Smeagol recently has begun to break up that word sometimes, and has begun randomly saying "Smeee" and sometimes "GOL" lol. They bring so much laughter into my life. Such is love!

They are so cute. :) I love seeing pictures of other's birds! I've taken a couple more of my bird, but my husband and I moved recently, so some things are still disjointed and I'm too lazy to look for the cable for the camera to upload. :D

So thanks for posting--you're very photogenic, too!

It`s pretty uncommon for `tiels to hold items in their feet. Most cockatiels will do it once or twice on rare occassion. And the rare `tiel will do it fairly often.
