news!
i am on the road to adopting a bird.
i think i have about 50 fake ones all around my house,
in addition to this entire blog being bird themed.
i love feathers and wings and nests and birds.
a few months ago i was inspired to adopt a real one-----
did research
found Parrots First in LA,
and fell in love with this little cockatiel that was left abandoned on the side of the road.
i had an appointment to go see him last week,
but he was in a small accident and got a broken wing.
this week he was able to be visited,
and i melted as soon as i saw his little red cast.
sling?
cast?
wrap?
anyway--------
his FOSTER parents have many many many birds,
which fascinated me to the core.
i have never seen so many in one home.
amazing.
definitely couldn't handle anything bigger than a cockatiel.....
but hey.
they were beautiful.

you crack me up shan!
(01.24.10 @ 05:16 PM)I hope it works out! My boyfriend has one that sings the Imperial March and the Charge sports song. Pretty impressive little birds, those cockatiels.
(01.24.10 @ 07:15 PM)DON'T DO IT. I say, stick with the fake ones. They may be pretty but think about them tweeting ALL THE TIME and pooping and just making a big mess in general. I hadto birdsit for some people once -- worst experience of my life. But that's just my opinion. If you love them, embrace their unlovelinesses.
(01.24.10 @ 08:44 PM)even though i don't like birds (and will be forced into a hotel when i visit), i gotta admit, frank, the one wearing a wool sweater, is cute!!!
(01.24.10 @ 10:11 PM)i, am willing to embrace the loud tweets and the poop and the mess. for multiple reasons, number 1= i feel like this is meant to be.
(01.24.10 @ 10:13 PM)That cast! Oh my...so adorable!!!!
(01.24.10 @ 11:28 PM)eh, practicality is so over-rated! if you feel like it was meant to be...what can be more compelling that that?? :)
(01.25.10 @ 04:53 AM)so cute!!! i've never thought about having a bird, but your pictures almost make me want one too :)
(01.25.10 @ 10:47 AM)i want to sign that cast.
(01.25.10 @ 10:39 PM)and then be friends with Cosmo for life.
(Cosmo? or Cosmos?)
cosmo :)
(01.25.10 @ 11:25 PM)I love them all! I think Cosmo is half Cardinal...no? It's kind of like two birds in one! Shannon you will be the best mama ever to Cosmo! I can see him now sitting on your shoulder keeping your heart warm while you tirelessly edit.
(01.26.10 @ 07:26 AM)Wow. An audible aww.. just escaped me. I really really like the matisse one. And that red cast? Too cute. Go for it!
(01.28.10 @ 09:55 AM)shannon..U MUST GET HIM!! NOO IFS ANDS OR BUTTS!!!!
