SiN's Fids (Bird Blog)

SiN's Fids is a blog I made for my fids (feathered kids), other pet bird photos and info. Birds are beautiful, intelligent and exciting creatures that I have loved since I was young. I have had the honor of sharing a house with birds most of my life and don't plan on stopping anytime soon. --- My Fids: Akira Peroxide - Albino Indian Ringneck Skittle-Oxide (Sox) - Rainbow Lorikeet Pavi - Green Cheek Conure Taffi Burrito - Lutino Galah --- R.I.P - Jester, Toxic-Oxide (Tox), Charlie (my childhood galah) and Fred (my childhood budgie)

Hello, I'm a needle felting artist who sculpts wool fibers into birds.  I'd like to share some of my recent commissions.  You can see more of my pieces at threedogsandacatfeltart.tumblr.com or www.facebook.com/threedogsandacatfeltart or www.etsy.com/shop/threedogsandacat

Chop! The process, more or less, for those that are interested. The dry ingredients (photo 1: oats, ground flax seed, flaked coconut, chia seeds, this dried herb mix for birds, cinnamon, and some red pepper flakes), carrots and zucchini (photo 2), peas, broccoli (photo 3), sweet potato, corn, chopped great beans and kale, celery (photo 4), brown rice and a wild rice & quinoa blend (photo 5), and a bean, pasta, oats etc. mix for birds from drs. Foster & smith (photo 6). Photos 8 & 9 are the final base product, but this time I also had some big things I set aside and then added to about half the base mix so Moogan has a separate batch (last two photos). Most of it is the same stuff, just with some bigger pieces, but I also threw some mango chunks in there. Oh and there’s apple in there somewhere too. I was pretty pleased with how it turns out, hopefully the birds like it!

I dare you to be in a bad mood after watching this.

Does Akira know any words/phrases?

Unfortunately no. She is apart of a little flock with Sox and Pavi so they all learnt each others noises, while Taffi thinks of us as her flock so is the one learning all the words.

I might be lucky one day and maybe Akira will learn some words. : )

Akira doesn't like getting scratchies at all. : ( I've tried. I kinda wish she'd let me help her groom all the pin feathers for her.

Pavi having a scratch.

[sins-fids]

So Akira is moulting so they are looking pretty horrible right now. She is just covered in pin feathers.
