And my dear friends, here are Baby my 14 year old Cockatiel and Beenie my 7 year old cockatiel. They can live to be about 30 years old! They require extensive care and nutrition, as all birds do, but mine especially because I did not feed Baby the correct diet for 7 years and Beenie is terrified of hands. So I need to make sure Baby gets enough of the right things to eat and Beenie get's much needed patience from me. I need to make sure Beenie does not eat all of Baby's food up! They both also need an equal amount of attention "sweet talking" and petting! Birds are very sensitive and emotional creatures. Birds are high maintenance. You need to bird proof your home and beware of what is toxic in your home and food to birds. You must clean up their areas every day.


Beenie is on the left and Baby is on the right. They are sitting on my lap ontop of a flannel blanket. It's easy to clean and warm for their feet :)



Here is my bird newsletter. http://littleandbigparrots.dpbiznews.net/ After you get to my newsletter and read it, there is my blog animator near the top of the page. You can click on the to read my blog, too.

Love and big hugs.

Hi Roger,

Thanks for the pictures. Once when I had been gone in the evening I returned just past dusk and as I pulled into my long driveway, I was going to hit the garage door opener but I realized there was a small owl about 8-9 inches tall sitting on a low rock fence next to my drive. When I realized it was there, I just stopped the car to watch and see what it was going to do. It was so cute & it must have sat there for another minute or two before it flew off. I hadn't seen an owl along my back yard and driveway before, but that was so neat.

Also, I love birds of prey too. The are so magnificent in flight. I live close to the edge of the city where I live and every now and then I look up and see a red tailed hawk flying over head.
I do love observing wild birds and wild life. It's all around us if we will take notice.

I appreciate you dropping by and posting your photos.

Thanks again,
Cheryl

Hi Barb,

Thanks much for coming and bringing the videos you posted. I've watched two of them and will have to come back to listen to the other one. Words in FLight featuring Christopher Driggins is so good. What dedication he has and then the lady in the video too. It's very interesting that some of these birds live as long as humans or longer. Wow, they do need a lot of attention and love though & I think sometimes people just didn't count the cost of taking one into their home. Fortunately, there are people like Christopher.

Also viewed the video about the crows. I knew they were very smart birds, but I hadn't seen the instance of the crow bending a piece of wire to get to the food....especially since it hadn't seen it done before. Very adaptable.

I'm so glad you posted all the notes and videos...I will be back.
Take care & hugs to you,
Cheryl

What pretty birds Beenie and Baby are. So lucky to have you caring for them Barb. Thanks for posting their pictures here. I'll come back later and have some more photos.

Off to bed early tonight. Just need to get a bit more rest than I've been getting lately.

Have a great evening and rest well! Thanks for coming back by Barb.
