Wally part 4 - ready for your viewing pleasure

[mrsray]

Yes, it's that time again, Wally part 4 is now ready for your viewing pleasure

 

 

He's getting used to some new toys and we are all having a blast in the process.

 

I have been staying very busy keeping him busy. LOL

 

Hope you enjoy part 4 and thanks for watching!

 

PS: the swinging perch in the video is the one I ordered to put in my room so he can hang out with the flock more ... http://www.greyforums.net/forums/showthread.php?197858-mess-catcher-apparatus&p=275957&viewfull=1#post275957

 

BUT ... until I can get him to step up and carry him around, there is no way that is going to work LOL, silly me. So I'm hanging it near his cage for now. (the hammock I got for below just hasn't been attached yet, I have big bin covers upside down on the floor for now under the swing)

Wally is doing great and good work on your part for finding things to keep him entertained and expanding his world outside the cage. When he opens those wings slightly and bends forward, he is seriously thinking about flying to where he is looking. Thanks for sharing this video.

" When he opens those wings slightly and bends forward, he is seriously thinking about flying to where he is looking." ... oh, he has taken off before after that, so that is kinda what I thought, but he does that a lot when we talk to him and he looks at us talking to him

 

i'm always so scared he's gonna get hurt on something during landing after flying, I read some threads about "accidents" banging into things etc and am forever worried

Thats because you are a loving parront and fret over your feathered child. The good news is, normally when they lean like that, they are focused on where they are going to go. Believe me, we all fret over everything about our greys.

"The good news is, normally when they lean like that, they are focused on where they are going to go." ... yes I will definitely keep that in mind when I see him positioned that way from now on, it does help for sure

 

thanks

Great effort on these videos. Is it just me or does vertically captured 16:9 video make anyone else go cross-eyed? I personally have trouble getting through longer clips recorded this way. Maybe consider pushing in a little to fill the frame when you edit.

"Maybe consider pushing in a little to fill the frame when you edit." ... will do, thanks for the tip

I understand why people record video with their phones this way, it feels natural in the hand. It's ridiculous that phone manufacturers made them that way. So if you're not going to turn the phone on it's side when you record you can crop your shot in many editing programs which will reduce your effective resolution but if it's only going to viewed on the web you can easily get away with little noticeable loss in quality.
