Fid vs Soda Can - a visual aid in size of all species

[BethySue]

Neat idea. I'll have to get a can of soda while I'm out today.

What a great thread! Very interesting! Unfortunately I don't drink soda or any canned drinks really but I love all of the photos

If you guys don't have soda can use a can of corn or something

Kathy, I was trying to think of something to use if a can wasn't available, good one!

I might be interested in the poster as well

Great pictures!! Keep them coming!!

Wow, didn't know it would be so hard to get Crow near a can! I put it down next to him and he freaked out and ran away. Took about 5 minutes to get them this close together.


Yellow-sided Green Cheek Conure
5 months
Calling him male, every other animal in the house is.

I'm not crazy enough to get Dragon and a can close together, last time he was within chomping distance of an aluminum can, he tried to eat it.

V 8 (regular, low sodium, & spicy) come in soda- sized cans

This is Phoenix, 1.5 yr female Crimson Bellied Conure...



This is Timber, 3 month Alexandrine...



None of my others will cooperate! LOL

I love looking at this thread! I could never get either of my birds near a can. Panic attacks would ensue.

I posted a picture of Skittles in the other thread, but I'll post it here just so that it's in the right place

Fid name: Skittles
Species: Green Cheek Conure
Age: He'll turn 5 on the 19th of June
Sex: Don't know, but I refer to him as male
Weight, if you know it: Don't know it
Import or hand fed: Hand fed from a breeder
Personality/vocabulary or what makes your fid special, if you want to add it: Of course Skittles is special He's smart, curious, sometimes a bit jumpy, affectionate, likes to stare at his feet, goes nuts if he sees you making scrambled eggs, loves to put things in his beak especially fingers, and he can say a few phrases: "Hi," "Hi Skittles," "Birdy," "What?" and "OUCH!" the last one usually used as a threat if he's feeling cranky.

For those of you who are having difficulties getting your bird to stand near a can, try putting the can in the center of a large table, putting the bird down on the edge of the table far away from the can, and sprinkling some of his or her favorite treat around the can and wait for them to go investigate on their own.

BTW, I never realized before how incredibly small GCCs are compared to other parrots, lol! Most of these parrots are way bigger than I expected!

Phoenix, Timber and Skittles are all beautiful!

This is a GREAT thread!! Someone should make a compilation with out text (other than bird ID) after this is done. I LOVE THIS!!!

 

[Pumpkin]

Oh my husband has a beer can, I will use that & do this tomorrow.

 

[singermanlynne]

Coke should do an ad campaign based on using the can to show scale
