Lot of juevenile birds out this week. Luckily (for this photo) they haven't been told to be wary of people yet.

Birds just love starchy carbs in general. Our macaw looooved porridge

Our first three hens loved porridge, sometimes when they went off howling a large bowl was the only thing to shut them up (they trained us well). Then they'd all sit outside the kitchen door, preen for a bit then fall into a carb coma and snooze.

Dude, this rules. What was this shot on?

Thanks. Nikon D7000 with Nikon 300mm f/4 (old model no VR).

Actually impressed. The old 300mm f/4 optics are nice as hell but with no VR and a tight crop (I'm guessing, at that focal length, parent birbs don't like 300mm distance).

Wasn't too much of a crop, I did manage to get quite close with the 300mm. Here's the jpeg from the camera:

Edit: This here is my buddy, a (nearly adult) juvenile Australian Magpie. I feed his parents, and they must have told him that I'm a Person With Food because every time I head to the park near my house, this little poo poo sprints at me with his head down, then follows me everywhere.

What a handsome fella.

Very sad news. Yesterday, my roomate had his car broken into and all of his camera equipment was stolen. There will be no new birb pictures once my supply has run out. Fortunately, there's still about 45 left in the backlog.

The rotten scumbag. Hope he had all the serial numbers listed.

friends, i'm looking for the video of the mom throwing the 1st bday party for the bird, perhaps from this very thread - the bird is on a chair surrounded by presents and balloons and the caption is like 'all this for a bird smh' or something - could someone link it?

The camera man was actually also an Adelie penguin. Thus, the laughter.
