Here's the dark picture...I couldn't capture the male's purple back at all.

I did grab a cute one of the Bourkes.

Yay! I love the pics!!! Congrats and best of luck with your new additions

Congratulations on Starlings! Your Bourkes are beautiful. The one with yellow wing feathers sitting on the top perch is gorgeous.

LOL...I just love thrw way the two Javas are watching your Starling. Puts one in mind of two prison guards, who are not sure of what to expect from their charge.

Here are the two Strawberries! I owe a huge thank you to Sally and Helen Hoffman as well as the other breeders who produced these birds and were able to orchestrate us getting them.

They are gorgeous. Congrats!

So happy you got them! That was fun yesterday, we'll have to do that more often. Wine and dinner with finch friends, it doesn't get much better than that!

Thanks Sam. They are little cuties.

And I know Sally. It really was great. I had such a good time. George even had a nice time and he's not that into birds...lol

Colt
Congratulations Colt.

They are pretty little birds. It looks as if they're leaving a trail of poop, in case they have to find their way back to where ever. LOL.

I think you will enjoy them a lot.

~Elana~

lol lovezebs! I think their little butts were just the same distance away from the edge of that perch all the way home. And for tiny little birds they sure are loud...lol

Colt

Wait till your boy starts singing. It never ceases to amaze me, that such a big voice, comes out of such a tiny little body.

~Elana~

Colt, they all look fantastic! Hope the starlings settle down soon

Congrats Colt, they look great! You're having a fantastic bird week...it's Christmas over there! Hope to be joining you guys in the Strawberry club soon! How nice that you guys can all get together....a little jealous! .... I can only wonder what people would think overhearing a table talk about birds for hours lol!

People, would think we are bird nuts, and they would be right!

~Elana

Oh lovezebs you weren't kidding! He has the loudest song. They are in a cage just outside the kitchen door and this morning George was like "Oh my god that bird!" Haha Of course I was like "Which one?" and he was like "the loud one"...lol

@Chris103 it's amazing. We didn't even get any odd looks except maybe from the server at the amount of food that I ordered...lol I had fried dumplings, egg rolls, sesame chicken, and fried rice. And it was delicious.

Thanks Rox. They seem to be settling in. I see them watching me more than fleeing. Although they still move to the opposite side of the flight. I gave the flight Phoenix Worms (pinkies) the other night and I think they discovered I was the bearer of yummy things so they like to keep an eye on me.
