yup, ollie-bird is a closet playboy....er..uh... well, he rarely plays with toys when i'm watching. He will occasionally hang off one of his playtop toys when he thinks i'm engrossed in what i'm doing, and often after lights out he will hang from his four-way play while i'm getting the other fids ready for bed. some background speculation: i dont think ollie was allowed to be a parrot at his old home. I dont think he had many toys or knew what to do with them. so after 18 months of watching skittles and marley play and me 'helping' him play, he seems to have gotten the idea. After about a week of trying to catch him 'in the act' after lights out, i finally got a few shots, not GREAT shots but ya gotta take what ya can get. i just dont have b'fids' talent.
see the green bit of feathers hanging off the toy? that's ollie hanging sideways, if i were a bit quicker on the draw, it would've been ollie upside down.
ollie trying to quickly get off the toy, cause he's busted.
ollie climbing back on the perch and checking to see if i'm still watching
and tho this is ollie's thread i just couldnt resist the cute widdle picture of marley poking his head outta his bed to see what all the flashing was about
