The boys have had parakeets since we moved here about 18 months ago. One day, a while after Christmas, we decided to take some pictures so everyone can see what they look like! The top pic is of Shady. He is a pale lavendar color. (Hard to tell, but he is.) Next pic is Max. We actually thought he was a girl for a long time, but his cere color finally changed. Rocky is the turqoise bird with a yellow face in the bottom 2 pics. He is Trevor's favorite. We actually have a solid yellow bird with red eyes. Her name is Tweetums. (yes, like all of mom's canaries) She is hateful, so we don't hold her. :( I will try to get a good picture of their cage and add it to the post. It really is a pretty cool cage. Keeps in all the mess! Update: 4/2/11 Max passed away today. I am really not sure why. It is so hard with birds. They hide their illness until it is really too late to help. He passed quietly in a warm, comfortable place. I took him away from the other birds when I noticed he wasn't well :( I brought 2 more birds home from work with me. I didn't want to introduce just one to the group. I'll try to get pictures of them soon and post the names Gavin picks for them. (Max was his.)
I remember when we had parakeets... Before we had a kazillion other birds. :P I always liked the blue ones best. Tell the boys I think their birds are beautiful! :)
