Default I got to hold a special birdie today!

I went up to Bird Fever (our local bird store) today to get a bigger perch for Winkie. (Meant to take the camera, but left it next to the computer. ) When we got there I immediately saw a very special bird - look up in the right hand corner of the banner. This guy was a real sweetie, chewing on the sleep tent on top of the caique's cage. He also made caique noises! Never screamed a'tall. I went over & started sweet-talking him.

To make a long story short he ended up on the floor & I picked him up.

I'm gonna let y'all guess what bird I'm talking about.

Either a hawkhead or a vasa! I'm going to go with vasa, because I think they're even less common (right?). Anyways, seeing either one in person would be incredible! I've seen a hawkhead and they're so cool! Sure wish you would have remembered your camera!

It's a hawkhead! The little guy was raised w/ a caique buddy & isn't very loud. He got excited when we were leaving & I got to see his crest raised. Such a cutie!

Actually, I saw a Vasa when I was there last time.

I know someone who lives down the street from me who has two Hawkheads, but I never knew they had crests like that. I've seen them, but their feathers were down. She has a male and female and they were quite cute.
