parrots and hawks and emus... oh my!

My uncle came to my aviary and took some pictures of *my* birds a week or so ago. We brought them out for him and set them up in nice backgrounds. These are some of the lower quality shots... but still, please, do not use any without permission... they are not mine, they are his, and he is trying to build a name for himself as a professional photographer. I almost didn't upload any, but there are a few I know he won't be selling and at least on this website the logo gets put in the corner.

Enjoy!

Hayden, our 10-year-old green-winged macaw, emerges from his hole. He is trained to come out of that hole, walk down a branch, and fly to a trainer in our show.



Our sulfur-crested cockatoo is trained to open his wings on command. In this photo, he's only half opened, so it's not the best shot.



This is our female harris' hawk who flies in our show:



One of our two male great-horned owls. This particular bird goes to schools in the winter time and is trained to fly in the school shows.



Our black vulture. He is one of my all-time favorites! He's so much fun to work, because he can get really close to the public and still be safe and he is both worked by flying back and forth and running on the ground. Like the owl above, he goes to school shows in the winter time.



Finally, we went out back and I let him watch me give our emu a bath. In the first picture, he's getting me all wet :)
