Spring is busting out all over! Just look at my gorgeous lime green coloring and you can tell its spring. I'm Kami, an Indian ring neck parakeet. People tell me they love my sleek look and beautiful long tail. I am rather exotic looking don't you think?
My foster mom says she is so very proud of me. When I first arrived at her home I was truly the wild girl in her flock. I would get so mad when she came near me and wanted to put her hands inside my house to clean it. I thought she was invading my privacy! Well, I'm still not the cuddly, snuggly, kiss-you-on-the-lips kind of gal, but I've come a really long way since I made my way from an animal shelter -- believe you me.
I'm an independent little thing really and quite easy to care for. I like other birds, though I can be a bit bossy. I love sitting on my cage (with other birds' cages near mine) and just hanging out. I never ever try to get off. Mom just opens up my door in the morning and I pop right out. In the evening, when it's bedtime, I put myself right back in on my very own. She doesn't even have to handle me. We have this understanding, you see. I respect her and she respects me. It works out just fine for the two of us.
Oh, and do I love my food! Yummy, yummy, yummy! It's the highlight of my day really. Gosh, I just can't wait to dive in when my mom brings me a fresh dish of food each day. I eagerly peek inside to find an assortment of goodies like fruit, nuts, and grains and of course those healthy pellets she insists I eat. Sometimes I even find good stuff like pasta with vegetables. I have to admit my foster Mom's a really good cook. Please don't tell her I said that though -- I like to keep up the bluff that I'm one tough chick.
When I get excited my eyes pin. Do you know what that is? Unlike humans, birds are able to control their irises, enlarging and shrinking their pupils rapidly. This display is called "flashing" or "pinning" and birds may do this when they are excited, or greatly interested in something. I also might do it when I am angry or frightened -- but that's very rare indeed.
Wouldn't you just love to have a pretty girl like me around -- somebody pleasing to the eyes, a bird to talk to, and an avian with an appreciative palate? I'm not too picky -- honest -- I think I'd be fine in a home with other birds -- or a home all by myself. If you happen to be home all day I would like that even more as I'm used to being able to be out of my cage most of the day. My foster mom will provide you with an excellent reference.
C'mon lets do it! We can work out any kinks that might develop in our relationship together.
