I'd never heard of it either... it means "yellow" :) Here's a pic of mostly-yellow Phoenix mid-preen. (SOOC)
What wonderful colors Phonenx has. Wonderful shot.

I Love your conures! Are Magic and Phoenix partners or do you keep them separate? Would you suggest that I get a second sun conure for my conure "Pekoe"? Thanks!

@onarom Magic and Phoenix are both female - we don't have the capacity to handle baby conures (either feeding them, housing them or finding new homes for them) so we got a second girl, rather than a boy companion for Magic. They are flock animals, so having two makes sense, and both seem happier for having a friend (though they're not super-friendly - there's always a good 10cm between them). In terms of noise, cleaning, food prep etc. two is not much different to one, so if you have the space and money, I'd get a friend for Pekoe, but make sure you read up on it - quarantining new birds, introducing them safely etc. There's heaps of info online.

Beaut colours, like you I love colour and enjoy doing Macro shots. You see things on macro that are sometimes hidden to the naked eye.

Wonderful looks as if she is hiding from you..lol

That's a different shot of her and it shows off that beautiful yellow and blue.

You can definitely appreciate Phoenix's lovely coloured feathers in this shot.
July 25th, 2011  
Thanks for the info. Pekoe is a male and I also don't want to breed them, so I will have to look into that some more.
