EuroYank - Virginia Hoge said...: Birds are my favorite people. I had a parakeet that lived 13 years and could talk like me and spoke complete sentences. I remember the 10th year when he fluttered at the bottom of his cage with a heart attack. I gave him a shot of whiskey (no lie) and he recovered and lived another 3 years. But he became an alcoholic, and when guests came over he had a habit of landing on their drinks, drinking and crashing into walls. When he died it was like loosing a member of the family.; 6:48 PM

I have a really short attention span. (lack of sleep deprives me of the ability to focus...)

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.
