Bathtime

I am NOT happy because Anon put water over my head!


WHAT are you doing with your fingers Anon? I KNOW they aren't really worms!


Oh no. Is this a swimming lesson? This requires some thinking ... I LIKE porridge on my face!


See, the porridge doesn't change how cute I am ...


if I practise wing movements I could fly away!


I'm not going to fly my way out of this swimming lesson - am I? ... Mini Minor

HAHHAAA, after watching the Baby Magpie's first swimming lesson from Mr Magpie, I had to try the same with Mini Minor :)

Mary Stebbins Taitt - she was trying to wash her face in her drinking bowl - a signal for her first swimming lesson. HAHA

she looks quite indignant! :o) they are a tough bird!

( saw a Whipbird this morning BTW)

They do have expressive faces Simon! I think one reason people don't like them is because their faces can look really mean too! I had a Whipbird tease me for an hour last Sunday and STILL didn't see it! :)

She does look cute with porridge on her face. she doesn't seem too enthusiastic about the bath yet.

She's only had a warm bath inside before, Red Mojo. This time I wanted her to try all by herself! She's watched other birds in the swimming pool before and this was just the paddle pool ... :)

(Those whip birds are teasers!)

ANON!! These Mini posts are FANTASTIC - she is so adorable (despite variety!) and I love the way the whole family is involved - and all the shots are gorgeous - and I want a little baby bird too! Tehehehe Youre one groovy lady! :)

HAHA, yes despite variety Lavender :) The whole family being involved is a necessity due to Mini's demands! HAHHAHHAA. Today she is eating GIANT sized worms every half an hour! Just minutes ago she managed to take a mealworm (organophosphate and hormone free) from the tweezers and swallow it by herself! I will be holding worms out for her to practise this today ... which means much longer feeding times too :)

Heehee, hello MerlinPrincesse! We are planning to release her tomorrow afternoon after voting. Depending on weather ...
