Day 7 of 365

Day 7
I'm beginning to see a trend starting the past couple of days. I think I need to broaden my repertoire a bit. But at least I'm experimenting with perspective.

It's a Girl!

We have a new addition in our menagerie, a pretty little Peach-faced Lovebird. I never considered owning one of these tiny African parrots, but we couldn't pass up the price (free!). Here she is, waiting for me to bring my finger closer so she can take a chunk out of it (I never knew lovebirds were carnivorous). Luna's already nearly had her nose pierced.

She is, shall we say, a bit feisty? I have a feeling it may take a while before she warms up to us (I'm thinking at least a year). From what I've read, it can be quite a challenge to tame an adult lovebird. It doesn't really matter though. She's already part of the family. We just have one decision left to make, and I thought you all could help out with that one.

Wordless Wednesday: A Backyard Afternoon

"I was this close..."

"Was it over here?"

**editor's note**
I am not implying through this post that we condone letting house cats roam around outside without a leash. The events pictured here represent a very rare, well-supervised and controlled outside experience for our cat in an enclosed backyard. In fact, I believe all domestic pets should be kept leashed or under strict voice command (that they actually respond to) at all times while outside. Remember, save the birds: keep your cat inside!

Anyway...yeah, that's all I wanted to say. Carry on.
