Phoenix and the treat by alia_801

Phoenix and the treat

I cleaned out the papers in the bottom of the girls' houses this morning. While sorting out Phoenix's abode I discovered that she'd dropped several treats and not bothered to reclaim them from the floor. I put them out and she flapped over to investigate and consume (with some help from Magic too). They get nuts wrapped in cupcake cases, for anyone wondering :)
How Neat!! How long does it take them to get them unwrapped!!? :)

love that you make challenges for the girls to get their treats

Another exquisite photograph. The depth in the colours and the detail in the feathers is so amazing, Fav!

Nice shot... You sure do spoil those girls, don't you? Glad you found extra treats for her.

Oooo- a treasure hunt! Yay!

lovely, lovely shot - i suspect Phoenix and Magic have an unofficial 365 fan club!

What a great subject -- every shot of these girls is terrific!

@ellimae Magic - about 5 seconds, Phoenix a bit longer.
@lbmcshutter No! I forgot to look out for it. I think we still have it recorded though so I'll watch again... :)
@jenrobcarr They prefer walnuts and almonds. They've also had cashews and hazelnuts but aren't as keen. I don't give them peanuts (can lead to aspergilliosis) or brazils (very high in selenium) though. They only get them as occasional treats, as nuts are pretty high in fat for little birdies.
@eniaral I think so too :)
