It's getting too hot for the budgie

Things are really warming up now in the Algarve, even Dino, fondly called the budgie, is needing to cool down and stripping off for summer.

Macaw's are not sun loving birds like most people think, in fact Dino positively hates the sun and will not come out during the day unless he can find some shade. In their native climate in the Brazilian rainforest, they can usually be found in the tree top canopy out of the direct sunlight.

The picture on the left is some of Dino's recent molt.
So if you are into fly fishing or need a new pen, as you can see I have shed loads.
