Here's a few shot's I took this morning outside with my Cockatiel Buddy frolicking in the snow. He loves it for about 5 minutes until he figures out, "Hey,.. This stuff is COLD!"
All I really did was crop them a bit. I think I got the White Balance pretty good. At least the snow looks white(not grey).

Hmmm
Hmmm...

"Off We Go!"
"Off We Go!"...

Hey, Look at Me!
Hey, Look at Me!...

Great series. I'm amazed he goes out in the cold.

Does he return when you call, or do you have to chase him?

Nice series. You don't worry about him getting chilled?

His wings are clipped so he can only fly about 3 to 5 feet and I keep up with it. As far as the cold he's good for a about fifteen minutes. Being in Chicago he's loved going out in the cold for years. Be it only for a few minutes....he loves the outside. We warm him up with a hair dryer. I know it sounds crazy but he loves it. He also loves ice cream(a lot).
Thanks for the positive comments.

He usually flies to return to me. With his wings clipped he can only fly about 3-5 feet. Sometimes a touch more, so I have to keep up with the clipping. Plus, this is done in the security of my back yard,....now with 2 feet of snow on the ground.

Now isn't that just adorable . I love them. You did an awesome job capturing the whiteness of the snow and the colours of your cockatiel having fun. They sure do have a personality!

Thanks. It's appreciated from another bird lover. They are just so hard to "capture," without blurring. Unlike other pets, they move so fast.
