This is what happens when Angel decides to take a bath in his shredded carrots. White birdie with an orange hue. Hehe, he looked soooo cute!

I'm not sure what kind of parrot this is but s/he is beautiful! S/he happens to be enjoying a cedar nut at the moment and came back for more. Wanted to take them all home. At least they're taken care of. (at the Parrot Refuge in Holland)

A shot of Angel taken through the acrylic cage corner. I'm surprised she sat still that long :)

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.
