365Caws is now in its 16th year of publication. If I am unable to post daily, I hope readers who love the natural world and fiberarts will seize those days to read the older material. Remember that this has been my journey as well, so you may find errors in my identifications of plants. I have tried to correct them as I discover them. Likewise, I have refined fiberarts techniques and have adjusted recipes, so search by tags to find the most current information. And thank you for following me!

Worth More Than Two
Day 248: They say, "A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush." Nope, that's wrong. This right here is worth more than all the gold in Midas' hoard. It's taken several days and a lot of tries to accustom the Porch Parrots to the shiny silver point-and-shoot Sony in my right hand, can of seeds tucked under my arm on the same side. This fellow flew a couple of circles around me before deciding it was safe to land, but once there, he seemed content to stay. Eventually, I moved the hand closer to the feeder and nudged him gently onto the tray, then proceeded to lift the lid to fill it. Did he budge? Nope. Either he was very hungry (not likely!) or he feels confident that the Bringer of Food means no harm to Parrots. Even the sound of a sunflower seed cascade didn't bother him.
