Some birdie pictures...out my window, and otherwise.

Sometimes they can look huge in pictures but really parakeets are pretty small. Cute as hell but tiny little things. Here, Sonny's looking out the window. Cutie!
Angel and Sonny caught during a little walk-about. They actually seemed surprised when I whipped out the camera. Silly birds, if you do something utterly adorable (and when don't you?), of course I want a shot of it!
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.
