Bird feeder is Fun !

Lucy, thanks for the plans for the little henhouse (sshhhh...) that was me that wanted it.

When you talked of the parrots it reminded me of a trip we made to San Francisco just a few years back...there is an area down not too far from the Wharf that has a feral parrot population...I guess (according to an elderly lady we met) that some parrots were either released or escaped from their owners and over the years this parrot population grew...it was a pretty thing to see walking down the street. I used to own an Amazon Red Head (not unlike myself) and he was so smart and amzaing. He would come find me in the night sometimes (up the stairs, up the bed). I would wake to his gentle grooming of my head and little cooing and clicking sounds. I miss him. We lost him to a respiratory illness. That was very difficult. He was given to me by an English lady I knew while living in Southern California...his owner (also an English Lady) passed away and he needed a home. He didn't talk but could sound like two or more cats at a time...ergo his name was "Cat." He bonded with me immediately which I was flattered about...that's rare. And the only other person he would let touch him was Tony (only after he gave him a good honk on his finger). Sometimes I feel like I hear him call me. That phenom happens with all my pets, though. I hear my little girl lhasa-terrier mix Peaches sometimes - we put her down last October. (Sorry to drone on...)

Aloha!



Carrie
