Well, here we are, I meant to make 2 posts in April because I missed March but that never came to pass so here’s a little catchup. I’ll start with cat stuff, mostly my cat, Ferguson, although we have several others, because he is the one with an Instagram page and the most cooperative subject.
And now I will transition into the few bird photos I took this past month…
And I will finish it up with several photos of Rosy-faced Lovebirds who are actually feral in the greater Phoenix area in addition to being part of the pet trade, too. The story goes that back in the 1980s, a pet shop owner either accidentally or intentionally released several and they flourished so that we now have thousands around. They are native to Africa and found the climate here beneficial. They love sunflower seeds and gobble it up way too fast ($$$).
Immature ones have the black spot on their bills and more subtle coloring:
And that’s about all I have for the past few weeks…starting to heat up here in Phoenix so that means either trips out of town or a lot more cat pics to follow…keep cool if it’s hot where you are and, if it’s lovely and pleasant, enjoy your summer as it’s just beginning…
