Posted March 15, 200718 yr Hello everyone! I FINALLY FIGURED OUT (after years and years and years of owning birds)... HOW TO GET GREAT FLIGHT SHOTS!!! I switched modes on my camera, let the birds out, and was patient (for the first time in my life! (Laughing out loud)). The birds were having a GREEEAAT time! I even let Oscar and Ariels babies out! They were doing 70% of the flying! This was the FIRST time Pluto, and Neptune used their wings to fly!!! Mars did the other day for the first time, he was quite good! Since they aren't fat adults yet , they are sooooo graceful, and would hover, perfect for taking pics! I'm actually proud of the following pics... so please don't be harsh! (Laughing out loud) [i'm a newbie at flight taking pics...this is the first time i've been able to capture them flying with decent piccies!!!] So, without further adue, here are the gorgeous pics i got of my stunning flock! Neptune again Mars again Neptune again...(Laughing out loud) Mars Oscar (weird picture, but shows his TRUE colour! So i posted it to show you all!) my Lilly Mars yet again! (Laughing out loud) Pluto coming in for a landing!!! Ariel My baby im keeping (male, not sure what im going to name him yet though...) was jelious that the other birds were out flying. He's only 4 weeks or so, to little to be out for a flying time. So he was practising in the cage! Look at the cute expression on his face... like a "IM DOING IT!!!!" face Ariel Mars...(Laughing out loud) Pluto Mars..last time i swear! (Laughing out loud) Chico up close, Ariel in distance Ariel on left, Lilly on right Pluto Neptune... WHOA!!! Thats a TON of piccies!!! (Laughing out loud). Hope you enjoyed them, as much as i do!

March 15, 200718 yr Yeah Kirbs. Great great pics of the gang. They all look wonderful. I love to see "normal' birds in flight. Their wings look so pretty.
March 16, 200718 yr Author Thanks guys! It's SUCH an amazing feeling... to have a bird, that has the ability to fly anywhere in the room, pick your hand, head or shoulder! Such an awesome feeling, i can't get over it!!! Neptune LOVES me to detah She loves being on me as much as possible (in fact, she was on my shoulder for most of those pics )... as she would just preen on me... or fly to me just to lick my arm Such a lil freindly girl!!! Mars too! He or she (not sure yet) also likes to fly on you... sooo fun! Kirby
March 16, 200718 yr They are amazing pics Kirby!! I loved them all :D Edited March 16, 200718 yr by Riebie
March 16, 200718 yr Author Thanks Reibie...I'm glad you like them! Thanks mate! (Karen (Laughing out loud))... Glad you like them too I can only imagine what your flight pics would look like if the birds in your aviaries decided to fly at the same time! (Laughing out loud) Kirby
March 16, 200718 yr Author Thanks you two! I like the ones of Pluto... His wings were always spread out so gracefully He's the one out of all of them, thats the lightest, quietest, 'hummingbird' like. He hovers in one area, or glides softly... rather than the other birds zipping around like flies! (Laughing out loud) Kirby
March 16, 200718 yr Author Thanks guys! Those ones are cool Bea... they were my first ones i took!!! Kirby
March 16, 200718 yr Beautiful photos! They're all great :rip: Edited March 16, 200718 yr by Chrysocome
March 16, 200718 yr Author Thanks guys! I used the 6th one (of Mars flying to the playgym) as my desktop background! :rip: It looks REALLY AWESOME!!!! Kirby
March 16, 200718 yr Author Hey! I let all the birds out again, and got some amazing shots again! Here they are!!! Pluto in cage Mars in cage Pluto in cage dropping down... such a cool shot! Mars was preening his wing, then he stretched out his wing REALLY FAST and i got a great picture! Pluto, i've decided he's the most graceful, gorgeous flyer out of all the birds i have!!! group Pluto again daddy, Oscar The crowd favourite, Neptune again Tobie (formerly Saturn, this is the baby im keeping) took his VERY FIRST FLIGHT!!! I GOT IT ON CAMERA!!! I'm sooo happy!!! I got my babies very first flight... such a cool feelng! (Laughing out loud) Tobie afterwards... out of breath (Laughing out loud) Hope you liked these ones too guys! I like this batch more than yestrerday Kirby
March 16, 200718 yr Author Thanks Zebra! Oscar was a very funny guy today! From flirting, and trying to feed Diego... to flying on me!!! (Which he never does, i didn't consider him tame (Laughing out loud))... He was also very active, and would start to fly, then loop my room, and 'pick ip' his kids... They never all started to fly at the same time. Oscar would start, then loop my room, then fly over the cage or gym that the babies were on, then they'd all fly! It was actually pretty funny to watch! And you could see the babies faces as they were antisipating when to take off or not (Laughing out loud) Needless to say, they are all pooped! (Laughing out loud) Sooo tired, all sleeping right now... other than Tobie, he's on my shoulder licking my neck! It tickles!!!! (Laughing out loud) Kirby
March 16, 200718 yr Author (Laughing out loud) Thanks Nerwen! Those are great shots... i like the feet to! Also the wings! Sooo beautiful! Kirby
