You'd think this would get easier, but no. Same heartbreak.

Just a little bird. Can't hug her, can't cuddle her (wasn't that kind of bird),
can't do a lot of things with such a tiny little fluff of feathers,
but she kept me company for 6 years +/- and was a fun little bundle of
sunshine. Timid, but sweet. She seemed to like walls, and when
exploring the floor, would almost always come to me* when it was time
to "go home" because I always took her home.

Thank you Sonny for being so lovable. I miss you so much already. (and
Sydney misses you too)

**(All three birds would step-up and down, but if they are/were having
a supervised fly/walk-about, Sydney* and before him, Angel* would come when they were ready to. Sonny would come to me when called, it was something special, unique to Sonny, and I thought it was soooo sweet.)

Sydney has a paper habit. He likes to beak pieces until they're little balls and then he spits them out (thankfully) and starts again. Keeps him busy.

Sonny plays with the straw thing while Sydney gets his paper fix.

Monkey bird! She cracks me up when she does that.

Monkey bird!

They make some funny faces when they're preening.

Nummy nummy. Noshing on a cedar nut.

Love amazons! Such beautiful colored feathers. Love those gorgeous amber eyes too.

Fun to feed the parrots. Nice way to keep them socialized, especially these beauties being care for by the Dutch Parrot Park.

Not sure what kind of parrot this is. Love the colors though.

A Mexican Redhead. This one's chowing on a cedar nut.

Another shot of that Major Mitchell Cockatoo. Love the color of this beauty.

There a section of the Parrot Park that's a large caged-in, but open area where the birds are free to fly around in a bigger space. If you're lucky, some will fly to you, so you can see what it feels like to hold and feed one. It's pretty amazing. Scary, the first time, but a lot of fun.

Very in-your-face... cute!

They're pretty bold.

Fun to feed the gulls.

Fun to feed the birds.

Ahh, good to be home.

Hi Sonny!

Yea, that perch is way too small.

Hi there!

Bird gymnastics... that's a long stretch from the swing to the perch. He does it like a pro.

Hey there!

Birds on the loose! Supervised of course.
