I'll Wipe That Smile Off Your Face

When the boys were last out in Oz 18 months ago, we took them out to Brookfield Produce and Declan nursed some chickens. Today he asked if he could go out again and this time he also got to hold a Green Cheek Conure and this yellow Indian Ringneck.
He was very chuffed until soon after this pic was taken, the ringneck latched onto his shoulder and bit him through his shirt drawing a spot of blood. I thought it was very funny. He was pretty good about it.
My apologies in advance but I'm going to have difficulty over the next couple of weeks finding time to comment. Will comment when I can.

They hurt .I had one grab my nose years ago.Hard way to learn but you never forget.I bet Declan will not forget in a hurry !!!

Well shame on that IRN for giving this young chap a nasty bite. That's no way to show appreciation for respectful interaction. (How like a parrot tho.)

[Jane Anderson]

What a sad ending to this happy scene!

[Susan]

Such a sweet shot!

[Emilie Cartoun]

Terrific colour co-ordination from the bird and writing!! Lovely shot of Declan :) And the bird too, of course :)

[Jenny Ren]

So sweet!

[Kareen King]

Aw, this is just charming! Great capture.

[Kerry McCarthy]

Well this "before" shot is very cute. Too bad about the "after".

[Babs]

Cute shot, you really aren't the caring kind of Poppo are you Terry, ha ha. Fancy thinking that your grandson in pain is funny. No wonder the parrot was smiling. He knew what was coming next.
