That cat will definitely starve to death.

I feel that way about El Birdo when she gets all skwawky.Anyone want two parakeets? Green and a white one. Even though they’re god awful noisy dirty critters, they sure do look purdy. $20 for the birds, cage, food, toys and other stuff. (I might even consider paying more. )
Sounds pretty clever to me. LOL! She's a beauty.My Stupid Bird (new name for her) decided to make a jail break when I was giving her water yesterday. Squeezed right past my hand, through the cage doorway, and right into the living room, where she landed on Lulu's head, tweaked her ear, and then screamed at me. Poor Lulu looked shocked, but she lay very still until I got close enough to nab Stupid Bird. She was very docile on the way to the cage, but now she laughs at me whenever I walk through the dining room. Stupid bird.

This is not Stupid Bird (google pic), but this is exactly what she looks like when she stares at me now. I think she's plotting to kill me.

Not sure at all--lol. My son insists Stupid is a boy, so maybe he's rightThis is a male budgie (note the blue cere) - are you sure your Stupid Bird is not really a boy?
I'll be picking that up.I just won a book from Librarything, The Birds of Pandemonium --
"Each morning at first light, Michele Raffin steps outside into the bewitching bird music that heralds another day at Pandemonium Aviaries. A full symphony that swells from the most vocal of more than 350 avian throats representing more than 40 species. “It knocks me out, every day,” she says.
Pandemonium, the home and bird sanctuary that Raffin shares with some of the world’s most remarkable birds, is a conservation organization dedicated to saving and breeding birds at the edge of extinction, with the goal of eventually releasing them into the wild. In The Birds of Pandemonium, she lets us into her world--and theirs. Birds fall in love, mourn, rejoice, and sacrifice; they have a sense of humor, invent, plot, and cope. They can teach us volumes about the interrelationships of humans and animals.
Their amazing stories make up the heart of this book. There’s Sweetie, a tiny quail with an outsize personality; the inspiring Oscar, a disabled Lady Gouldian finch who can’t fly but finds a brilliant way to climb to the highest perches of his aviary to roost. The ecstatic reunion of a disabled Victoria crowned pigeon, Wing, and her brother, Coffee, is as wondrous as the silent kinship that develops between Amadeus, a one-legged turaco, and an autistic young visitor.
As we come to know the individual birds, we also come to understand how much is at stake for many of these species. One of the aviary’s greatest success stories is breeding the gorgeous green-naped pheasant pigeon, whose home in the New Guinea rainforest is being decimated. Thanks to efforts at Pandemonium, these birds may not share the same fate as the now-extinct dodo.
The Birds of Pandemonium is about one woman’s crusade to save precious lives, and it offers rare insights into how following a passion can transform not only oneself but also the world."
