Birds

Neat! I really like your bird posts. I love birds, myself. I have three pet budgies at home: Frida, Einstein, and Kathleen. I name each of my birds after socialists. Originally, the birds were Frida, Diego, and Einstein, and Frida and Diego were named after the Frida and Diego Rivera. Diego unfortunately passed away very early, and he was the first budgie I was able to hold in my hand without him flying away. I just had a vet visit scheduled the next day because I was concerned about his health. I cried for much of that day, and I miss him very much. He was the best boi. I got a new bird the same day, and I named him Diego II. Unfortunately, he passed away a week later, and I wonder if it was from the same cause because both of them had flat heads (which looked adorable). I got a new bird and named it Diego III, but her cere turned brown, which means she is a girl, so I renamed her to Kathleen (Cleaver). She's such a little acrobat like Einstein, and Einstein loves her. I believe Frida is the dominant bird of the flock, and she's so curious but also lonely. I hope to make a bigger cage for them soon and get more birds so they have more friends.

I appreciate them as living beings and I totally love birds. But hawks also hunt pigeons and this is the reason why mine are so rarely outside. But there is this one simple weird trick, which hawks absolutely hate: crows. As soon as a bunch of crows is visiting my hood, its safe for my girls. I often see then, how the crows are chasing the hawk. Crows are my best friends now <3
