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

Cute little puffy fluff ball birdie caught mid-preen. Hehe, they're so cute when they're all fluffed up. (so long as they don't stay that way of course)
Both keets love to chew on the clothespins. Took me a while to notice though (shame on me). I use them to hang veggies but when they're on top of the cage it ends up being something fun for them to gnaw on.
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.
