I'd like to introduce you to Skittles. He's a blue parakeet and belongs to my daughter. I had opportunity to babysit for a week and I really enjoyed having him around.
But he's a little nervous so this is as close as I could get.
Time is calming him some, but he also has a new friend and that's helping a lot. I don't have photos of his new friend yet though.
I also want to take a moment to tell my husband, "Happy Anniversary! The best decision I have ever made in my life was saying yes to you! Thank you for always being here!"
Macro Monday is easy to play, snap a macro (or any close-up) photo, post it on your blog and come back here and sign MckLinky. Don't forget to visit each other. :)

Is "Skittles" a candy?
I never thought I could love a bird until I started my chicken adventure. Oh, they have so much personality, and Skittles is very pretty.

Hello, Skittles! Pleased to meet you! What a beautiful bird you are. :o)
ReplyDeleteWe have a little green parakeet. They're lots more fun than I could have anticipated!
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary!
How adorable!
ReplyDeleteMy grandmother had a blue and a green parakeet and a canary. They chirped and sang all the time. She hung them in her bathroom because they liked the humidity and there was a lot of light. thanks for the memory . . . love the shot
