Bill and Pumpkin: Not Your Average Birds

Posted on 31. Mar, 2011 by Mark in Other Animals

Normally my clientele tend to be of the canine or feline variety but occasionally I get to work with more exotic subjects like Alpacas or Parrots — in this case a charming pair of Caiques named Bill and Pumpkin who live over in sunny Noe Valley. I wasn’t quite sure what to expect on this one but, let me tell you, I had more fun on this shoot than I can recall in recent memory. Both birds–especially Pumpkin– really got into it and started hamming it up big time. They also truly like each other which shows in the shots of them together. Please take a spin through my favorite pix from the shoot — Pumpkin is the guy with the orange head, Bill the black. I guarantee you’re going to become a Caique fan.

If you want to see even more of the shots (I took a ton) check em’ out here.

Must say I’ve never heard of a pet named “Bill.” Dare I say–it works!
