Phoenix had an itchy ear when I grabbed this shot of her this morning :)

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Cool capture. She is a cutie.

[Laraine Kensicki]

amazing balance! does she share a cage with Phoenix, or do they each have their own?

[Humphrey Hippo]

Cool motion! I thought she was doing her pilates. :)

[Danny Davies]

A great capture Alia.

Her colours are amazing, did she get her itch scratched ok?

[Netkonnexion]

Lovely.

[Shirley Chetwynd]

Haha nothing like a good scratch.

[Katie]

Ooh, action shot!

@eniaral this is Phoenix (it can be difficult to tell them apart!) Magic and Phoenix each have their own cage. They' get on, but aren't really very friendly.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Itchy ears- sounds uncomfortable for a bird!

[Terry]

not going to look at you

[Nicole Campbell]

That is cute.

[Dione Giorgio]

Lovely shot. Love the movement of the leg.

[Megan Richardson]

she is so gorgeous - did you help her out with her itch

Poor Phoenix. Birds are quite flexible though so they can get their itches. What a lovely bird. So bright and vibrant! It makes you warm just looking at her! Nice shot!

@lbmcshutter Phoenix doesn't like to be touched - we've had her 2 years, but she still won't let us do more than carry her around on our heads, or occasionally hold a piece of food for her to take. If she's really in a good mood she might 'kiss', but she has to come to us. She is gradually getting more tame, but it's a very slow process as we have to take it at her speed.

@alia_801 and yet it is Magic who hates having her photo taken/hates the camera, they are such individual little personalities

They are both so bright and gorgeous - must be like living anti-depressants just to watch them! Great timing on this shot - I love watching bird flexibility and expressions as they groom.
