My mom's Angel!

My mom has a cockatiel named Angel. Her first cockatiel was named Petey. She thought Petey was a boy, but she was actually a girl. (Mom found out when Petey laid eggs!) My mom was in the hospital for a while, and she had me take her home. I was living with housemates Jim & Becky at the time. Becky is a very clean person. Becky cleaned Petey's cage several times a week. She also put Petey out on the back porch almost every day when it was warm because Petey was kinda loud and messy. Becky took Petey's cage apart to clean it while she was outside once and somehow Petey flew away! My mom was kind of sad about that.

When I was home I took a couple pictures of my mom's current bird Angel. I think they're pretty cute! Angel is kind of scared of me, so I'm surprised she stayed where she was long enough for me to take a couple pictures. This first one is a bit dark because of the glare of snow coming through the window. She looks as if she's saying "whatcha doin'?"


In this one she turned away as I was taking her picture, but you can decide which is her "better side" haha!

I just realized I should have cropped this picture. The cage bar looks huge at the bottom of the picture. Oh well. I like how it's imperfect! Angel's feathers look a little ruffled, too. Mom said she's molting. She looks great to me, though.
