More silly pictures

[pjthompson]

So I wanted to post some pictures of my pets as so many others have done before me. Alas, I have no pets. :-( This makes me very sad. So I visited Mom. She has pets.

I have the silly pictures to prove it.

This is Mom's pet starling, Baby. Starlings are part of the mynah family so you can teach them to talk if you hand raise them. Baby fell out of a nest when he was a little shaver, so Mom raised him. He's a wild bird, but because he's an introduced species (European) it's not illegal to keep him as a pet. Baby's favorite word is "Ouch!" Baby often mistakes wrinkles for worms. Starlings are not seed eaters.

Mom asked me why I always take pictures of her when she's talking. Real answer: She never stops talking. Hardly ever. What I said: I suck at taking pictures, I guess.

See what I mean.

But she's cute, Mom. A bit of a pixie.

Here's what passes for pets at my house:

This is Guardian Baby. She's a real sweetheart. (That's an udder, not another kind of appendage.)

And this is Claudia. She isn't the chatterbox that Mom or Baby or Guardian Baby is, but she's solid as a rock.

What kind of bird is that?

Your pets make me smile (in a good way).

You commented while I was updating! She's a starling, part of the mynah family. Glad you enjoyed the pets. I sure do. :-)
