Foraging on the ground.

[Erithacus]

While on the way to a the playground, I saw this .... a kingfisher standing on a pole.



Then he flew to a nearby tree.



And I saw a grey .....

WOW! The Kingfisher is beautiful, but not as beautiful as the Grey foraging!

wow never seen a close up of a Kingfisher!  AWESOME looking bird!  Helps that it was a great photographer!

And Cocoa foraging-    Your pics make me happy and sad all at once.  I wish I could do some of that with Zuri bird to let her get some fresh air and see the world but she just will not tolerate it.  That makes me sad.  But seeing Cocoa enjoying the world is totally awesome!!!

The turquoise on that Kingfisher is awesome! That is my favorite color tho' Well, to some it may not look turquoise, but to me it does.

Cocoa is an awesome bird as well. He is the luckiest parrot on the planet! He has such a good Dad who takes him to the most gorgeous places in the world.

Know what ya' mean Ditty. Roscoe has let me put his harness on twice & that was early on when he was still more baby-like. Now he grabs it & tries to shred it & I end up in a tug-o-war to get it back before he demolishes it. :bruce: I watched the video & read all I could about how to train them to wear a harness, but trying to get a rambunctious adolescent macaw to be still is next to impossible. :deer: I merely get close to his head with the part that goes over it & he has it in his beak in a nano second! There ain't no such thing as laying it across him to get him used to it. He thinks it is a new chew toy & that's all he wants to do with it.

Nakia, buy another one and let him chew on the old one while you put the new one on. 

[Nakia]

Thanks Sondra. Not sure if he'd go for it tho', I tried letting him chew on the lead while I was attempting to get the head piece on & he didn't fall for it. :somad: Sure, he was chewing on the lead, but he is greedy & wanted both! :deer:

I think Roscoe needs to visit with Cocoa & let him tell him how much fun he is missing out on. Of course I would have to accompany Roscoe on the trip & I could see all those gorgeous places Cocoa gets to play in.
