    Bird picture from Daily Squee

    I have no idea what kind of bird this is, but he sure is bright and colorful! A nice treat on a grey, blah Chicago day.

    Praying for peace in the Middle East, Ukraine, and around the world.

    I've been Boo'd ... right off the stage!

    Aaahh, I have been defrosted! Thank you, Bonny and Asiel!
    Brrrr, I've been Frosted! Thank you, Asiel and Pomtzu!

    Wow, seems like every color of the rainbow!

    Imagine living where those are common.

    I know it is a lorikeet, not sure which one. Maybe you can figure it out!

    Here's another one that gets a squee of its own! How cute is this!? It's from the article Freedom posted for me. What a treat to see such colorful birds during a yucky weather week in Chicago.

    LOL! What a beautiful bird. Have never had a bird of my own but they do fascinate me.

    Beautiful! Yes, he's a Goulden Finch. They're lovely little birds and quite expensive to by as a pet. We had a few rescued ones at my old job.

    What is interesting about the Gouldian finch ( aka Rainbow Finch) is the Males can have three different colored heads.

    Wow, Kokopup! Thank you for pointing that out to me!

    I haven't seen very many birds around here lately, even sparrows. I'll be glad when the weather gets better and the birds return!

    It had to be a male because usually the females in the animals, aren't as pretty as the males are. Its a true fact, that in humans females are prettier than males, and in animals males are prettier than females.

    Yes, that is quite the bird, hope you did plenty of research on him and take care of him well. Although I can not tell you what kind of bird he is, I can at least tell you he probibly lives in Africa or South America. Alot of times, I wish wonderfull birds such as this one lived in the U.S.A, but then I think they do, and they live right in my own home.
