Birds of a Feather !

I mentioned spending time with our feathered friends while waiting for our house to be complete...these are four of the little feathered friends that made my wait interesting ...noisy and messy as they were..they are certainly interesting to watch as a group...coffee meetings , they all change their loud chirps to a soft mutter...until one flaps his or her wings and meeting over...during the day they have little fights over toys...or more important food...just like normal kids...my favorite move was when one would slide down the cage bars by his claws so smooth landing on the next perch.....my big thrill was shower time...this was achieved by a spray bottle ...giving them all little a spritz twice a day...they had a Nanny caretaker that feed and cleaned the never ending poo...did you know they have handy wipes called POOP BE GONE sold for this job at the pet store ...what a world we live in now....cool !!
the dogs loved the birds and were constantly covered in little feathers and stuff, better not mentioning...Omar would circle the large cage , stand up and talk to them...they didn't seem scared of the dogs, in fact one would talk back , and shake his head...I recognize each bird by it's color and markings , but never mastered the names....but then I have a hard time with peoples names sometimes....my feeling,,,people and birds should all wear a name tag...makes it soooooooo much easier...lol

Birds of a Feather !

These two birds came into town ..stayed for awhile and then took off for Texas...final destination the TNNA Show in Columbus, Ohio...Stitchery Square did the great finishing, my husband the stands....I stitched them

......they are on 13st....and yes the feathers are real...lol...since these birds are in the wholesale line of Squiggee, I have had to find a place to get good quality controlled feathers...no more buying a bag at the local craft store and digging away looking for the best size and condition....selling the birds wholesale has to be organized....you wouldn't believe the company's that just specialize in feathers...amazing...now I know what I do with the feathers.. I use them on Squiggee birds and sometimes ladies hats for embellishments...but what do other people do with the feathers....costumes For exotic dancers !!.... hats for English Royalty !!!..... strange masks for Matias Gras !!!..........Halloween ?????? sorry but feathers just don't have a place in my daily life....... high fashion in rural PA is a no go !.........you just wouldn't believe all the types and sizes companies offer...when you think of all the naked birds !!!...another world...you haven't lived till you open a package of feathers and you forget that you have the fan on....it is so me!...like pine needles you find in the oddest places six months after you disposed of that Christmas tree...a feather that has just poofed away ,will appear in the living room no less...the little devils are just plain hard to control...so are beads ..in fact most embellishments have to be kept in check......you have to think ...was I so clever to add embellishments at all...lol.....joking...Squiggee loves them !!
