Guess what I got to lay my eyes on last Friday? Yes, you guessed it! A real, live Black Palm 'Too! I feel like a kid on Christmas morning! I am so, so SO excited I got the opportunity.
I ran into Bird Fever up in Indy to get some loot for the fids. And I couldn't believe what I laid my eyes on.
They are incredibly beautiful in person! Pictures do not do justice. A member on BB described them as "prehistoric looking." That's the perfect description. That's why I love them! There's nothing like the beauty of a black palm 'too! And to see one up close in person is a really once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. These guys are VERY rare. And NO, I'm not adding one to the flock! They're about a $20,000 bird.
I guess I can just admire them from a distance! *sigh
Also, I was really impressed with that store. They have a great selection of toys and food at pretty reasonable prices. It's definitely not rip-off city.
They also have a lot of birds in the store! I also got the chance to see a Greater Vasa Parrot. Another rare one. Man, they're gorgeous too!
