Sonny is usually calmed a great deal by her reflection while Angel is not (Angel gets aggressive). Interesting to see the different reactions. Just thought this view looked really neat. :)
She's looking at me with a "You're kiddin', right?" kind of look.... heheh... Angel in a "flight suit" (aka, birdie diaper)....testing it out. Maybe she can get used to it. The fact that she let me get it on her is promising.
Why birds? Well, they're beautiful for one thing. My love of birds has evolved over time.
It started out as a temporary, safe, no-commitment transition from losing a pet, and not feeling ready to have another, to a long-term bird watching & bird feeding habit.
It's addicting. It's also work, and expense. But it's worth it to see some of these wild birds in my backyard (and anywhere else I can spot them). They're "company" and I enjoy their presence, their freedom, and their beauty.
Loving wild birds has led me to wanting a bird (or two) as a pet so now I also have pet parakeets.
They're the easiest to photograph since they're right here :) (and so cute) so they'll likely be featured here the most.
