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

Posing birdy beauty + flash = *BLINK*! Sorry Sonny! I try to do the "soft snap" or "twilight" option which is a softer flash or no flash at all, but sometimes it's still too bright. I'd blink too!
Quite unusual to find Angel in Sonny's favorite sleeping spot. Had to spap a few shots of it. (Note the duct tape on the cage...tsk. it's good for everything isn't it? They don't make those plastic cages very strong.
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.
