Its odd, I've caught my sons Lovebird in flight, I've caught all kinds of our birds, but Buddy... he's speedy. ZIP ... and in a new spot, usually on top of my head.
got this one yesterday. right place right time.. they are heading back to the bird room which is off to the left corners arent a problem for these guys.
Bet you were like YES! when you looked on your camera screen. I know I would have been. So they fly back to their room, taking turns as graceful as a wild bird? Do they glide into turns? That would be awesome!
With all the boys, I just cant take the chance of giving my babies their flight. Baby has never known flight but Im sure Peek-A-Boo does and thinks... this blows man.
They dont glide. They just power on and get where they want to go fast. They do take the turns very well once they have learned them.
I was pretty happy with the shot. I can get alot of flight shots, but two of them together in one shot was very nice. I'm glad they like each other now.
If you know your bird well enough. You can see by their bodylanguage when they want to fly. Birds tell you everything you want to know with bodylanguage, you just gotta watch. And if you know their fave hangouts all you have to do is keep taking till you get one that's good. For every good shot I get I have about 5-10 crappy shots. I need one of those rapid shot cameras.
