Damn birds...


Anyone who knows me, would quickly discover I love animals of pretty much any kind. Excluding reptiles however, especially the snakes. UGH. I digress. What you might not know is I am mesmerized by birds. Fascinating. I have a pet bird, a parrot-- a South American parrot known as a Conure. I got her when she was a baby and she is an absolute sweetheart. The amazing thing is how incredibly intelligent and responsive a small parrot can be. Her breed is not known for talking, however she has learned how to say her name, a few small things, and loves to echo your (or the kids) laughter. She is a snuggle muffin and wants nothing more than to snuggle. On your shoulder she snuggles in against your neck, nibbles your ear, grooms your hair. And attitude... she has plenty! When I got an email with this youtube video, I cracked up. And cringed, look at that bird's feet!!
