A Helping Wing Parrot Rescue

Walker the Photographer here!

Today’s photo shoot features none other than Calypso, who apparently thinks he’s auditioning for the cover of Macaw Monthly!

Would you LOOK at this guy work the camera?!

First, we have the dramatic upside-down pose. Very artistic. Very mysterious. Then, without warning, BOOM! Full wing extension! Somebody call Vogue!

The angles! The feathers! The attitude! This guy knows exactly what he’s doing!

Meanwhile, I’m over here trying to capture his good side. Apparently, EVERY side is his good side.

Calypso, buddy, you’re making the rest of us look like amateurs.

Walker signing off. I’ve got about 200 photos to edit, and this diva hasn’t even thanked his photographer. 😂

Do you believe in good fortune? This little guy was hanging out outside the house today. Folklore says toads can bring good luck and prosperity. I’m taking his visit as a good sign!

These adorable little bird paintings keep popping up in my Facebook feed, and I have to admit, I’m tempted!

I think they’re absolutely adorable, and I’m already imagining where I could hang them!

Has anyone actually painted one of these sets? Were they fun to do? How did they turn out?

I’d love to hear your thoughts before I add yet another bird-related project to my collection! 😂

Walker here! Professional photographer, part-time troublemaker, and apparently the only bird around here with an eye for talent.

Today I decided to put my photography skills to work and capture some shots of my feathered neighbors. Let me tell you, working with these models is EXHAUSTING. Everyone thinks they’re a superstar!

First up, Oliver the Military Macaw. This guy KNOWS how to work a camera. Head tilt, perfect lighting, a little foot action. He’s got the whole routine down. Pretty sure he’s expecting a modeling contract.

Bruno the Scarlet Macaw was next. Oh, Bruno! Giving me that supermodel stare like he’s about to grace the cover of Vogue: Parrot Edition. Easy there, buddy. You’re gorgeous, but you’re still pooping on the furniture like the rest of us.

Then we have Charlie the Blue and Gold Macaw. Looking all distinguished and gentlemanly. HAHAHA! Gentleman, my feathered behind! Don’t let that innocent face fool you. I know what goes on around here when Mom isn’t looking!

Sammy the Harlequin Macaw decided a normal pose wasn’t good enough. Nope! We needed ACTION! Wings out, chest puffed, full dramatic performance. Somebody get this bird an agent before he demands his own dressing room.

And finally, Harry the Military Macaw. Oh, look at sweet little Harry, sitting there looking all adorable and innocent. PFFFFT! I’ve been around long enough to know that the cuter the pose, the bigger the trouble brewing.

And then there’s me. The photographer. The creative genius. The bird BEHIND the camera.

Not one of these feathered divas offered me a single walnut for my services.

MOM! I NEED TO SPEAK TO MANAGEMENT!

Apparently, I’m running a photography studio for FREE, and my clients are all nuts. Speaking of nuts… WHERE ARE MINE?!

Until next time,
Walker
Chief Photographer, A Helping Wing
Unpaid. Underappreciated. Ridiculously talented.

P.S. Which one of these feathered hams deserves the cover of Bird Vogue? Choose carefully. I’m judging your answers.

My New Favorite Gadget!

John picked this little gadget up at Costco, and I have to say, I’m pleasantly surprised at how well it works!

When you have parrots AND baseboard heating, you know the struggle is real! Between the bird dust, feathers, and everything else our feathered friends manage to spread around, cleaning the baseboards is a never-ending chore, especially once the heat kicks on.

Well, this little handheld air blower is a game changer! It does a great job blowing all that trapped dust out of those hard-to-reach areas.

Who knew I’d get so excited over a cleaning gadget? Apparently, this is what my life has come to!

Now, if only John could find something that actually cleans up after all these parrots without human assistance!
