On Bourke Parrots (Parakeets) and Organic Vegetable Gardens

Well, it’s very common for the Bourkes, after they’ve been out for awhile, to fly back to their cages, and frequently they play games – each one flies into the other’s cage, for example. Well, today our happy little Bourkes both flew into her cage, so we decided to let them share a few moments together. I have to say, they both seem quite contented – there was a constant sweet chattering to one another, they shared toys, ringing the same bells, etc., and now they’re resting happily. Here are some photos – I’m sorry the photos are more than a bit blurry – I don’t think the Bourkes enjoyed the camera peering at them too much so I rushed it a bit!

-And while I’m here at the computer, let me share a picture of today’s harvest from our organic vegetable garden – colorful swiss chard, one brave tomato, yummie-and-ever-so-healthy spinach, fresh basil – the making for a great sautee tonight!

Today's Harvest is Tonight's Dinner!

-and finally, the wintry state of our organic vegetable garden – brrrrrrrr – for our part of California, today is cold!
