Bumble-ing Along

[FlyBirdiesFly]

Good girl Bumble! You can use the fetch trick to teach more advanced tricks, such as basketball.

Bumble is a sweet thing so young and active and so blessed to have you!

I'm the one who's blessed. She was exactly what I needed. I'd lived with my boyfriend and our two dogs (and sometimes my kid) for 16 years. We decided to stay together but live apart - we split the dog time (I get weekends). I had never lived alone before (kid is grown), and I haven't been without a pet since . . . well I think never. Maybe like 1-2 years in high school. Turns out I adore living alone, but no pet most of the week was too much. I was also sinking into a bit of a depression with so many life changes. After a lot of thought, I decided a bird was the answer and next thing I know, I have my little Bumble who really has brightened my world and requires me to at least get out of bed on weekends!

<--- it's a parrotlet. Don't talk to be about budgies. :03:

Thank you for sharing that, Inger. I love it! Itty-bitty Bumble to the big-time rescue. Beautiful.

Bumble was playing around in her cage, making kissy noises and actually saying peekaboo in front of me. I tried to get a video, and she immediately moved into this pose. I’ve been buttfeathered.

Looks like a face feather from Bum...or maybe it's a butt cheek one!

Hahaha I think it’s from her face but I haven’t looked that closely at Bumble’s Bum [emoji23][emoji23]

Inger, if you have access to a strong magnifying glass or better yet a kids microscope ( which are surprisingly good) the structure of feathers is amazing to study.

 

[LordTriggs]

you may have to take bumble out to dinner first if you want the "underfluffies"

Wrench you're not wrong about those. Looking at a bird feather I find fascinating and I always remember kids microscopes being surprisingly good!

 

[GaleriaGila]

I would have to frame that in one of those tiny 2 x 3 inch frames that you can buy at Michael's, Hobby Lobby, etc.

Oooh what a fun idea! I think my BFF's kid has a microscope and I bet I could borrow it. Or maybe I'll just get one for myself. There are so many things I could look at.

You don't think hand feeding favorite goodies on the daily counts?

I went to Michael's and bought tiny vials and put it in one of those, with the idea of possibly making a necklace out of it. But a tiny frame might be better, since it's so small I can't really see it in the tiny vial.
