New Baby

We got a new baby today...of the feathered variety!!
He's a 4 month old Pacific Parrotlet, and so sweet!
He's a little nervous, and very shy so far, but I know he'll warm up to us quickly. He already is beginning to trust me.

His name is Yoda...guess who helped name him?!
Here he is!! (prop help provided by a certain 5 year old Star Wars fan :-))

Charlie is such an awesome dog....she was raised with small parrots (we had six at one time) but hasn't been around birds for a number of years. It took her no time at all to remember the rules. She kept her distance and quickly backed off when asked to do so. Such an great girl!

Here's the prop help I mentioned earlier
Guess who named him?
