Ballou - Modern Art Bird

Ah Ballou.... he's improveing in leeps and bounds and now that hi wing feathers are fully in (he was clipped when we got him) we've began "flight lessons" and harness training.... and he adores showing off how pretty his wings are.

With the addition of the Cockatoo to the family, Ballou and I have been getting much closer (possibly due to our mutual distrust of the other bird). He's still not as affectionate with me as he is with mom and dad but I can pet him now and he comes to me when I call him.

The painting in the background is "The Hallway" painted by my mother when she was in college. Yeah... now you know where I got my art talent.
