One of my little avian colleagues likes to see what I'm doing. He's a very curious little fellow.

At 30 grams you'd think he's all fluff. You'd be wrong. He can be fearsome! My 75 pound dogs treat
him with much respect and leave the area if he ( and his girlfriend ) are about).


Jerry

He wants a tank shaped birdhouse...

I thought I saw a Tweety bird!

Oh yeah now you did it, Oliver( that's his name ) is miffed
at being referred to as tweety. he's not happy at all with you.

Never get a parrotlet with a tank Po'd! Besides he has got the two
lab-pit bulls for backup and they love puddy-tat for breakfast!

OK, look again at the cat. Obviously his name is Sylvester, so he thinks ALL birds are Tweety birds. Oliver should have known this. Sylvester, Shadow, Nancy and Honey all want to be friends and they promise not to try to eat Oliver. Peace, Bro.

Seriously though, I also really like birds, so that's why when I let the boys go outside they have to wear bells on their collars. The first and last time I watched Nancy (Nancy's a boy, long story) take a bird out of mid air I knew I couldn't let them get that close again so I got them all bells and now the local birds love me again.

Have you ever seen Jebra and Fum? The owl and the cat? Very cool.

Tanque
You have a wonderful renewable source of camo material and anti tank defeating devices. Our feathered friends produce a terrific substance that can be used for winter camo (their stuff is usually white) and because of the texture of their stuff, it can be applied and molded into Zimmerit quite easily. (I've only heard that --- I never tried it myself).

Yes I've seen it in action, very authentic!
