Comment by MelonMusketeer:
People don't understand being owned by an african grey unless they have one. I hope that you always stay on the good side of Hildy. My Sammy was a sweetheart until the first time I trimmed his wing feathers. He has never forgiven me for that, and still will bite me hard sometimes. You didn't mention that Hildy probably imitates almost any sound she hears, like the phone, microwave ect. My Sammy made a fun game of the Nextel beep when he found that we would reach for our phones when he did it.
I very much like the dark background and shallow DOF in this shot, and yes, Sammy picks his feathers out too. He is upset now because I had to move him to a small cage to bring him in from this recent cold weather.

Mary, Hildy is gorgeous here! This is a super image! I am not sure I could take having a bird on my head all day though I do sit with a very fat cat on my lap most of the time. Now that I've a new laptop she is quite annoyed! :)

Good smoothness to the melting (?) ice here. Colors are generally good.
