Psitta-Social: Nov. 25: BBSC: Brisbane awed by Chicken Beauty Queens

Led by Instagram’s @I_met_manko and @haus_of_mango, Brisbane Bird Social Club (FB) (@_@bbsc_ (IG)) hosted a Redville park event Sunday, November 25, 2018. Eight social parrots and chickens graced the park: Manko (macaw), Mango (conure), Bella and Silky (chickens),  BB the Alexandrine, Nancy the Loveliest (lorikeet), and Snowflake (quail).

Peruse below; this park adventure is only one of many varied settings this group arranges for bird meet-ups.  If you’re in the Brisbane area and on Facebook, ask to join the  BBSC Brisbane Bird Social Club group; if you’re on Instagram, follow @_bbsc_  to stay informed about upcoming events.

Fids and Parrots relax in the shade.

A picnic table spread with food at once appropriate, stylish and edible complemented the lattice-work protected patio.

But, most of all, Manko in his modest graciousness was struck dumb by the utmost glamour of Bella and Silky’s total fluff! Did the gals talk their parronts into a walk to escape eager male eyes?

The birds, generally in harness, flaunted their stuff, thrilled to be outdoors and in a non-threatening but stimulating new environment.

Fellowship abounded among fids and parronts as well.

A time for making new friends and sharing parrot stories!
