In other news, Tammy my special needs rescue parrot is coming along very well. When I first brought her home she was scared out of her mind but in the last few weeks we have bonded well. The other night she spent an hour and a half hanging out on my shoulder and cuddling up to my face while we watched the movie Walk The Line. I really enjoyed Johnny Cash's life story and I also enjoy Tammy's new habit of licking my bottom lip and the tip of my nose. It's super cute....and no I am not afraid of catching "bird flu".

| In this picture you can see her bare chest from feather plucking. This is a characteristic behavior of parrots with emotional turmoil or skin/medical conditions. Not all parrots end up plucking themselves. Tammy was a neglected soul who was not fed properly and was housed in a cage literally ten times too small for her and this led to her feather plucking. |

Lately I had been accumulating a lot of great looking photos on my camera's memory card, but who knew that "would you like to format your memory card now?" actually means "you're about to permanently delete all of your photographs dumbshit!" Probably everyone other than me : )
Anyway, I ended up loosing a summers worth of beautiful photos of my birds, visits to the beach, fair visits, demolition derby videos (Which was awesome btway. I saw a car flip over which is pretty uncommon), boating videos, and photos from friend visits. Yuck. Regardless of the photos lost, I surely will have more to share in future posts.
