When you turned 6 months old...

Postby Natacha » Mon Nov 14, 2011 7:54 pm

You were very active - always on the go, go, GO!

Image

You also lost some of the orange feathers on your head, resulting in a "splotchy" looking forehead - after all, must make way for those adult feathers! Talking about those adult feathers, you had quite a few pin feathers growing on your head which made it very itchy and therefore, you demanded quite a few more head scritches!

Image

And you also had those pin feathers on your legs - and a few of them I'm hopeful by their orange tint will grow into those beautiful coral leg warmers that are typical of Cape parrots.

Image
One tiny orange feather showing on your right ankle (there were actually two orange feathers at this time, but I couldn't photograph both)

Image
Quite a few orange looking feathers on the left ankle!

Happy 6 months to you Léa!

As well as a few recent videos.

Very short one - bring the volume out and you will hear her say "oui oui oui" (yes yes yes) - she says that a lot in response to when we say "no" to her :roll:



Playing on her atom



And yesterday she decided to go explore a glass bowl my boyfriend was in the process of putting away..

Cute! I guess the advantage of the females is that they keep that adorable baby look!

Well they do get the grey head as well and a bit more definition to the orange on the head :)
