Preening Phoenix (again)

As usual, Phoenix was doing one of her favourite things (the others are sleeping and eating dry pasta). She's currently sitting on my head, and Magic is sitting on my glasses right in front of one eye, so if there are any typos in this, it's because I can't see the screen!

Today's holiday pic is a bird of a different kind (and not sitting on my face!): http://365project.org/alia_801/365/2012-12-31

[Sue Wilde]

Great composition in this shot...and you managed the keyboard

[Kirsti Abbott]

Love the composition of this!

[Simon]

Lovely shot!

[Mags ッ]

Great preening shot. I love watching birds preen - I fill up our bird bath with warm water three times a day to watch them :)

[Sheralee S]

They really are a couple of characters!

[Dione Giorgio]

Lovely capture and composition. He hasn't much else to do, I suppose.

[Rachel Mackenzie]

Love the different pov and composition. She certainly does love preening herself, then again with gorgeous feathers like that who can blame her :)

[Margaret Tryon]

Looking good. Wonderful shot.

[Kerri]

Beautiful

[Ann H. LeFevre]

That sounds so funny- if you try to move them, do they get bothered with you? I'm picturing that they feel you are another perching spot in their world. Cute!

[bruni]

[mittens (Marilyn)]

[Danny Davies]

Lovely mid-moment shot, and I like the curve of the perch too.

[Shirley Chetwynd]

It's preening time again.

[Henri Russell]

Alia,Phoenix is always so precious

@olivetreeann It depends on Magic's mood. Sometimes she's quite happy to be manhandled, have her tummy tickled or stuffed inside a t-shirt, other times she'll hold on for dear life and bite anything that comes close. Phoenix will flap off at the first hint of movement or any appearance of a hand in her line of vision...

Cute shot.
