René, the Eclectus Parrot formerly known as Joey (see Joey’s Big Adventure) has come to live with us. Tristan’s household has too much activity for him, so he was getting over stimulated and stressed out. He is already happy only having to share a room with our Conure, Beakers. Laurie had Beakers out in his space in the kitchen and René was still in the study, so the birds started ringing their bells back and forth. I told Laurie they were “texting” each other. Rene’ came out when I got home and had dinner with me. Rosencrantz was sticking his tail in René’s face while he was pestering me and René was seriously thinking about biting Rosencrantz’ tail, otherwise René and Rosencrantz didn’t react to each other in the least.
The almost full moon was beautiful peeking through the clouds tonight. I can’t resist moon and cloud photos.


You really liked him from the beginning, so all-in-all, this is a happy outcome. 🙂
He’s a sweet bird
Beautiful photos! I have a somewhat similar photo of the full moon as well, but then on the other side of the world back here in Holland! 😉
Hey Timothy, I would like to nominate you for the sunshine award. I put this on my blog in a few minutes if you would accept this…?
Erica, I’ve never figured out how the nominations work and their real purpose, but feel free to nominate me. Thanks!
I didn’t know either, but I think I worked it out…
