Comment by Joan Denoo on January 28, 2013 at 2:24pm Tony, those parrots don't remind me of anything other than the prettiest blue I think I have ever seen. Oh! to have such colors in my wardrobe.
the fjord hint doesn't help. I give up!
Comment by Joan Denoo on January 28, 2013 at 2:20pm Steph and Tony, your birds bring me so much joy ... I fall in love with diversity of nature every time I see one of these beautiful photos. Thanks so much.

Comment by Idaho Spud on January 28, 2013 at 2:14pm Funny, when I first looked at the crested owl, I interpreted it as a bird looking up with it's mouth open incredibly wide. The fuzzy beaks had me confused for about 5 seconds until I finally saw what it was.
Comment by Dominic Florio on January 28, 2013 at 1:59pm That orange bird is a Chinese Red Golden Pheasant. I intend to add some to my bird family. They are actually very common in aviculture.
The red wing blackbird was always one of my favorites. When I was a kid, growing up in the miserable winters of NY, the red wing was one of the first to return in the spring. When I heard his call, I knew warm weather was coming.
Comment by booklover on January 28, 2013 at 1:38pm Tony, I love the orange bird with the yellow 'hat' and black & white tail feathers especially.
Steph, how adorable that baby owl being weighed is! :)
