You know...I had no idea parrots could have surgery. You know, the anesthesia, I thought that and birds just wouldn't work out. Shows what I know in my sheltered birdless life. Well, not really birdless, we feed the outside birds and Poppy dreams of eating them and talks to them.<br /><br />I had a hamster once who needed medication. I would wrap her in a washcloth and just like Charlie's head, she would spin round and round and round.<br /><br />Berkley is looking good, pimples or not. And I like the look of the sea salt on your starry sky piece. I know not what you were after but interesting.Princess Judy Palmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14870980058627037243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4898096826929908370.post-4790194844097614412012-10-20T12:10:10.705+10:002012-10-20T12:10:10.705+10:00I have a weak spot for parrots--especially Greys!!...I have a weak spot for parrots--especially Greys!!

I think it must be effected by humidity and things maybe... who knows... some times it works and others it doesn't... and Berkley is looking great and Jenn will be thrilled with him I am sure... I have Mushu framed and on the wall at the end of the kitchen and everyone comments on it ... hope Charlie is feeling better...xxTracey FKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03052306649633275907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4898096826929908370.post-66839664129200050342012-10-20T04:12:00.710+10:002012-10-20T04:12:00.710+10:00Oh my those colors are stunning!!

I'd be totally intimidated by those flapping wings and nipping beak. Though my cat can be a challenge too with claws and hissing/biting when she doesn't want to do something so I guess it's similar. Hope you survive the week with minimal damage. :) And your celestial effort is admirable - I've tried that salt technique and find it to be very temperamental. Your parrot painting is off to a stellar (!) start and I just know it's going to be amazing.Terriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11989512064950173723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4898096826929908370.post-7649535790832103002012-10-19T02:36:59.264+10:002012-10-19T02:36:59.264+10:00I love the nebula for real and your salty one.

My grandbird is an African Grey Parrot and he can be so onery sometimes I would like to gob smack him. If he decides he is ticked off at me he will do that in the wild screech and I just go outside...bet they can hear him in the next county he is so loud! Thats usually when he wants to stay on the perch and I need to go home and he is going to show me!! Hope Charlie is feeling better soon.

Take care and much love to you!!Currie Silverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16502798362838891569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4898096826929908370.post-50420412282561934732012-10-18T19:31:59.898+10:002012-10-18T19:31:59.898+10:00Your portraits are so very real looking.

The parrot is coming on well too. I'm looking forward to seeing it complete. I've seen a similar struggle to get pets to take medicine with my relation's dog. Animals have such characters, don't they? Good luck with the rest of the day!Hweehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10895959128588945675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4898096826929908370.post-47229275807506351092012-10-18T17:01:57.572+10:002012-10-18T17:01:57.572+10:00Oh Von, she's so beautiful already!!! You'...Oh Von, she's so beautiful already!!! You're doing the baby total justice. I recognize that parrot eye, lol. You are a gem and I actually like the salt painting, it's colorful and the salt stuck to the paint looks very starlike. I think with all on your plate you can certainly get a pass but I think your entry stands against all others so I'd keep that pass for when you really need it, like when your boy charlie has made your fingers bleed from nips and you've tried for the hundredth time to mix the meds into a food but he won't eat it. Now THAT sounds like a "Pass" kind of day!!<br /><br />Good luck with you portly little fellow, give him hugs and scritches from auntie Jenn. Much love my friend.<br />Oh, and congrats on the new commission!! I knew you would be a total success!!<br />Hugs<br />~JennJennifer McLeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05684514236592711220noreply@blogger.com
