Opposites challenge - loud by alia_801

Opposites challenge - loud

I had big plans for todays shot, given that I live with what have to be some of the loudest parrots in existence. Unfortunately Magic took even more exception to the camera than usual, resulting in a big hole in my thumb where her beaky attack on the clicky-big-eyed-black-box missed its intended target... I've finally stopped the bleeding. In the end I resorted to a game of peek-a-boo after she went to bed, but despite my best efforts (and about 30 shots) I didn't get any of her squawking... So you'll just have to take my word for it - she's loud!

Gorgeous parrot... hope your finger feels better soon, I know they bloody hurt when they bite!
December 5th, 2011  
Ouch!! Probably a very good idea to keep the cage bars between her and the camera!
December 5th, 2011  
Oh wow, and I'm sure when they get a hold of you that would definitely hurt.
December 5th, 2011

Thought your Magic was your fav, what happend. cute photo Alia.
December 5th, 2011  
This is very cute :]
December 5th, 2011  
@dannydavies I love both of the girls. Magic just has a love-hate relationship with the camera which is tending more towards hate at the moment...
December 5th, 2011  
so cute the way he is looking at you.
December 5th, 2011  
Ouch! I definitely believe you that she's loud.
December 6th, 2011  
she looks like she's plotting. . .I'd watch my other thumb if I were you. Sounds painful, by the way.
December 6th, 2011  
ouch!! she cute...and I believe you!
December 6th, 2011  
Number one, ouch, but been there. Sira bit me in the nose once when i pointed a camera at him. Two I have seen that posture from a Sun Conure on more than one occasion, she was not happy with you and the big clicky thing, three I agree they are the loudest things on the planet when they want to be and four it is a cool shot :-)
December 6th, 2011  
Ouch!!! My kitties play a little rough sometimes, too! She looks so innocent in this pic! LOL! Congratulations on winning the Patterns theme! :0)
December 6th, 2011  
Naughty Magic! Good thing she's adorable:)
December 6th, 2011  
yeh but she is soooooooooo cute:)
December 6th, 2011  
Aww she's lovely!
December 6th, 2011  
She looks curious! I hope the bleeding wasn't to bad, you've put enough energy in this capture.
December 6th, 2011  
Sorry to hear about the finger! Isn't it interesting she clams up when you go to take a shot- sort of like children who ham it up until the camera comes out and then they become so shy! But you tried!
December 7th, 2011  
Oh Magic, you should cooperate now and then. You are a lovely bird. Biting your person is not nice.
