at the bird expo a frenzy of flapping cash in hand beautiful plumage this one hand-reared for wired skies
Image: It was going off at the “Bird Expo” at Berkeley (a suburb of Southern Wollongong) yesterday. Birds, kids, selfies with parrots, the sound of money and stories about seed mix and dried pawpaw tossed everywhere. This young blue and yellow macaw (Ara ararauna) was a long way from home.
And for music this morning, here’s Stockholm, Sweden /Brisbane, Australia country duo Texas Tea with their album Röda Tråden (Youtube) (trs: ‘red threads’ according to goggle)

That last line says it all. Good music, very laid back. Listening to it doesn’t bring Sweden and Australia to mind, but it has what it needs.

Wired skies… sigh… I wish birds were never caged except for rehabilitation/ conservation, stuff like that…

A bit of heartache from your beautiful tanka for this beautiful bird. My sister keeps African Greys, and I don’t look kindly on her doing that either. Don’t know why she does it; don’t understand the attraction of caging something that’s born to fly.
