Sonny in her flight suit. Not a happy camper but this time she managed to stand up and walk around. Usually she turns into a little meatball so this was a major improvement.
My two cuties. Angel (right) was making some clicky noise (look at that cute tongue!). It would be nice to know what it means whe she does that. It's not something she does often. Sonny looks like she's wondering the same thing. (hey whatchya doin'?) :)
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.
