Luke surprised me with a new friend on Valentine's day..

Hi, Bleu!

He said he picked this little one because it was hanging out at the end of a stick, playing with toys. A loner.

Within thirty minutes of meeting I had her hanging out on my finger, a new record!

I've had a few parakeets in my life, an early memory from childhood involves two of them flying right out the door.

She loves flying around in my studio, and listening to music.

"We love music!"

I started telling her this when she was afraid of the strange sounds coming out of the computer..she especially loves songs with whistling and quieter, scratchier voices.

 Mockingbird(Tom Waits) came on..appropriately haha! I whistled along and she clicked her tiny beak, puffed her throat feathers out, and blinked her pretty feathery eyelashes. Such a delicate, beautiful little creature..

I'm smitten. And I know she'll talk to me one day, I can feel it. We're besties.

Valentine's day treats

Strawberry Marshmallows

They taste like yummy melting strawberry ice cream in your hot chocolate, so good.

Enjoying her fave treat too, we're budgie buddies.

Happy Tuesday!
