Since this afternoon my old laptop decided to work properly and to not give me a whole lot of troubles, I managed to download some pics I had in my camera that I took a few weeks ago.

Apparently Luigi has grown a beard, so I took full advantage of it! From the moment I took him out of the cage for picture time, his loose feather was stuck for a good 15 minutes or so.

Looking a bit apprehensive as if something is not quite right

Luigi's beard suits him well!

Figuring out he has a feather stuck on his beak

Luigi clearly wasn't successful with his feather removal

So, he decided to let go of it and just get on with his happy singing/talking/barking.

"No feather is going to ruin my day!", says Luigi.

Now it's time for the extra cute loving pics of my youngest couple, Luigi and Goldilocks.

They do this very often, they stand beak to beak and remind me me a lot of my bonded pair of lovebirds.

A really good preening, you can really see the love there.

A little kiss on the cheek, they are the sweetest couple ever!

And to finish off, some food exchange

Ana,
You take some of the BEST budgie picutures EVER!

I love the 4th picture of Luigi with his little feather beard.

The pictures of Luigi with Goldilocks should be used as greeting cards.
Those are just too precious for words.

Thank you so much, Deb! I just had to share these funny pics of Luigi and to show the beautiful bond he has with Goldilocks.
I am quite pleased with this budgie girl, she loves to sing and is very devoted to Luigi.

Thanks, Anna-Louise, they really do! It was a really funny moment when he got the feather stuck on his beak like that and it got to stay for a record amount of time.

Thanks, Judy!
Who knows, maybe Luigi was trying to be budgie Santa Claus, he does have a way to spread joy to the household and he hatched on Christmas time.

Thanks, StarlingWings! Out of my current 4 pairs of budgies, Luigi and Goldilocks are the ones who more openly show how much they love and care for each other and in many ways they remind me of the bond my proven lovebird pair has. They do everything together, including sharing the same swing each night with no bickering involved. They were clearly meant for each other. :lovers:

Thanks, Susan! I'm happy to share the pics with everyone here.

Thanks, Gaby! Bearded or not, Luigi is quite the funny character and despite his strong bond with Goldilocks, he never fails to show how happy he is and literally says his name or "hello" whenever I pass by his cage and when I'm talking to him near the cage, he immediately comes to me and is always willing to step up to my finger for some play time.

Yes, what great photos of Luigi and Goldilocks!! Those are what I call action shots for sure - captured their closeness so well.

And I love the beard look on Luigi. He should try a moustache next

Thanks, Madonna! If I ever see him in a moustache I will for sure take some photos and share with you all here!

oh my God.... they are so so cute! I can see what you mean, Aries is often in trouble taking out these feathers out of his beak! but he looks very cute with that goatee
The couple are having their best moments I think- this looks so romantic!!
Thank you for sharing, Ana!!

Thanks, Despina! I was very lucky because I saw he had the feather stuck while still in the cage, so I took him out for some play time and picture taking and the feather stayed on his beak for a good while, despite his short flights from my finger to my shoulder or his favourite spot, the top of my head.

Thank you! Luigi is a light green greywing budgie.

Aluz, you always capture so much emotion in your photos of your flock. I love this couple. I'm not sure they could be any more in love! My Peatri often gets this same little beard..........I wonder if it's some sort of secret organization? I guess we'll never know!

Lovely pictures as always, Ana!
