    I love the birds. After bird sitting a cockateel for 2 months, I have a new appreciation for them.

    I like how they stand out from the background.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Thanks docwalker, we do not have Cockatiel around here unfortunately, tho I did have a pet one when I lived in the dry dusty Outback.
