Welp, I actually know my birds (only lovebirds and green cheek conures. Maybe possibly I know a thing or two about Indian Ringnecks.) I've been hooked since I was really little. And I mean REALLY little. I was obsessed with penguins. I do remember my mom telling me about this one time when she brought me to a nature preserve and we saw two strange looking 'ducks'. And I told her, "See that, mommy? Those are mergansers!" She's thinking, "Pfft, yeah right" We get home, she sits on the couch and googles what kind of bird we saw:
Turns out I was right, they were hooded mergansers. My mom calls me the 'bird expert' of my family because I know so much about birds. Since we're all under quarantine and I'm still in school, we do school subjects at home. I decided to research parrots on World Parrot Trust (they have plenty of info on parrots). I told my mom so and she said, "Don't you know enough about birds already?" Pfft no, that's never gonna happen. Anyway, wood carving is awesome! I'm more into doodling stuff including my dragons here on FR. I've been interested in needle felting, but never tried due to this PANDEMIC, so yeah. I like how you express their emotions like that! How do you do it! I assume that you're quite observant! I have Bald Eagles around here (I live in the Eastern US), that like to nest near the Potomac River. I do also have a pair of Red Shouldered Hawks near my house! How do I know? They scream near my house. We also get plenty of soft-billed birds at our feeders including Black Capped Chickadees, House Sparrows, Carolina Wrens, Northern Cardinals, House Finches, Tufted Titmice, Gold Finches and occasionally a Purple Finch or two. Have you ever held a bird egg? Have you noticed how delicate that tiny thing feels? Knowing that a tiny being might me living inside? This is what I always notice. I even once, chose the life of a small tiny Grey Catbird chick over my friend's beagle dog, who attacked the poor thing. He died 30 or mins later. I buried him, and to this day I still visit his grave in my yard marked with a large, flat stone. Sorry that got a little sentimental there. :p
