Have you met Kiwi?

Posted on | Thursday, September 16, 2010 | 15 Comments

Last week, I had all these grand ideas that I would have all these lovely posts for you daily and then I got super busy with Twigs & Honey AND Twigscent and haven't been able to blog like I'd wanted to. I will try to have more posts soon, but for now, I thought I'd introduce you to Kiwi, our lineolated parakeet. :)

When I was little, I had lots of pet birds... yeah, I'm one of "those" people.
Kiwi has mood swings, but is a really sweet bird overall. He likes his cheeks and neck rubbed and he matches my paint color. Bonus!

Awww,how absolutely stunningly beautiful!
I adore birds,too.I used to have a parakeet as a pet,and he was such a sweet little friend.I haven't gotten one since,but I have been thinking of it.I got a bunny instead at the moment,lol.
When I visited one of my friends,I got to take pictures of their Quaker parrot,and posted the pictures on my wordpress blog.I called it "Parrot Portraiture",lol.

Thank you Jennifer and Sierra!

Jennifer... you should get a bird. They are so much fun. :)
I use a Canon 40D and for these photos, I used a 50 mm 1.4 lens. I've had this camera for a few years and it's great! The stock kit lens works great with it too.

I had lots of birdies too, when i was little-
