(Scarlet Macaw) “Sweet Love.” These birds have this figured out. (Please click to enlarge)
Many birds raise offspring jointly and mate for life.
(Yellow Crowned Amazon Parrot) Some of the birds at the Bloedel Conservatory in Vancouver BC are endangered in the wild.
Birds don’t wage wars and they don’t wipe out multiple species and habitats.
(Red Shouldered Macaw) Sometimes I wonder who is more highly evolved?

Cheers to you from our peaceable feathered friends. We can learn a lot from them~

I love these photos! You’ve captured such warm pictures of them. And the vibrant colors are awesome! What a well-organized and thought-provoking post!
Well how thoughtful of you and how appreciated too! Thank you~
OH WOW on the color!!!!
I know. gorgeous creatures aren’t they!
They live such good lives. I love birds.
I do too and I loved your post on Walden. I am currently reading Thoreau’s latest bio. So interesting~
If my hubby ever dumped me and the kids to live on a pond and watch beavers, I might feel differently about the whole thing, but all that aside, he really understood something deeply. To be able to set aside culture and see the bigger picture is a rare skill. And he never married, so I can’t criticize him for that! 🙂 Walden is a revelation.
… sweet love. ♪ ♪ ♪
It’s the only thing that’s there’s just too little of….i’m singing Dionne!!
Lovely photos! The colours work truly well together.

No worries I do the same thing. Thank you my friend and cheers to you!
Gorgeous birds, beautifully photographed 😀

Mil grazi~
Having a parrot, I can say they are not all love and kisses.
Oh yes, I can believe this. I’ve seen them in massive flocks in Australia, The Amazon, and Patagonia. I think this is how they are most content~
Gorgeous photos!
Merci beaucoup mon ami~
AGREE!!! <3

You’ve really captured their personalities Cindy! I’ve been there myself in QE Park, isn’t it gorgeous. I loved seeing the birds but now you’ve brought them so much closer, thank you 😀
Yes QE is just amazingly designed and so beautiful! Cheers to you and thank you too!
Stunning photos Cindy!
So happy you enjoyed them!
Sweet Love…
This song will play in my head all day, and I love it 🙂 Great series of photos, and you bring their personalities to life with how crisp these shots are. Beautiful.
Very kind and most appreciated! Cheers to you~
Cindy, the world could certainly use https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yyIooiL9JCo love.
It is wonderful how affectionate those type of birds are to their mates.
Where we are house-sitting the Rosellas, Galahs, Cockatoos as well as others birds come for the seed I put out.
The Galahs are the most affectionate I love to take their photo.
You would be able to do them justice and catch all their antics.
They are still a bit shy yet except for the Magpie family they eat mince meat out of my hand.
It was like my old friend Andy, on the Gold Coast, had never died but moved to Canberra. _/\_
You know fell head over heels for the Galahs. I didn’t know what they were and they were walking all around me! Pure heaven! The magpie family are such smart birds and very approachable with humans. Who know, maybe Andy was stopping by for a bite!! Love the clip. Thank you Jack & cheers too~

LOOKS LIKE THESE TWO MACAW ARE IN AWE—WITH EACH OTHER! 🙂
Awww most honored and appreciative! Mil grazi~
Beautiful….
Danke schoen~
I see you discovered one of Vancouver’s hidden gems, too 🙂 there are over 200 free flying birds at Bloedel!
Definitely my kind of place as it’s for the birds!! 😉
Cindy- a prayer for the world! Your fluffy green fella is just adorable but they are all fabulous shots and a wonderful example to us 🙂
That little green guy was adorable, some rare variety of very small macaw!!! Our world certainly needs prayers now. Too much pointless war~
Love them all!
🙂 🙂

Thank you Cindy! So beautiful! I always suspect anyone who classifies birds as less conscious, evolved or “ascended” than humans as a bit slow or unobservant. When we develop the ability to fly without petroleum products and technology we might be partway to catching up; -)
As usual, I so agree with you! Hugz to you my friend and cheers~

If a visit to Cindy Knoke’s blog does not brighten your day, nothing will!! These highly intelligent birds are beautiful as well – nature is certainly a magical palette.
Awwwww so thoughtful and so pleased your day was brightened! Cheers to you~
The last image is especially beautiful to my eyes – the bright red combined with a sweet, gentle body posture.
Yes, the gorgeous ecletic parrot. I love them too!

Love these photos of such colorful birds. I am a bird lover. I hate to see birds in cages though. My husband and I feed the birds on my back deck. They come in droves and eat 20 lbs. of feed in a week.
Many years ago I had two canaries and would let them out of their cages on Sundays for their bath time in a small bird bathtub with a mirror in the bottom. They loved it! It was a riot to watch them preen, clean and admire themselves in the water.
They started to fight so I had to give one away. The tough one pulled feathers out of his buddy all the time. I was afraid he would kill the poor bird.
I bred parakeets as a child and the mother bird tried to kill her babies. The daddy Pretty Petey tried to save them. It was too sad and educated me early on the limitations of cages. I am a bird lover too!!! <3 <3
