Oh, what a lovely bird, Mary. Yours?Mary K. Robison April 19, 2013
Hi, Kiki! Thanks for stopping by. I was in a pet store when I took this photo. I doubt this bird would last an hour under the same roof as Riley... :/Douglas Pignet April 19, 2013

LOL at your title Mary. That is so funny as it is one little pump bird. Even with the extra weight it is one pretty bird. I love its colors and look. Wish we had some of them around here. Beautifully composed with lovely details and I love the lighting to my friend. Take care. #10659570Mary K. Robison April 20, 2013

What a great COMP! Heave-ho, heave-ho! How many reps now? Heehee...What does he exercise to? "Sweatin' to the Birdies?" HeeHee...
I never liked that VHS title "Sweating To The Oldies." It made me realize that it's slightly possible that I am not a kid anymore. Whaaaaaaaaa!
Love your birdie, Mare. I bet he sold fast!

Hi, Pom! Glad you like the pudgy one. Thanks for commenting on him/her.Phyllis A. Houghton April 25, 2013
Adorable bird. Looking like it might be nesting time. Or no flying time at the pet store who overfeeds! Great detail! Maybe both! #10667101Mary K. Robison April 26, 2013
Thanks for commenting, Phyllis! I think you're right about the nesting time, as well as the overfeeding in cages filled with far too many finches of various types. #10667965Ujjwal Mukherjee April 26, 2013
