Shamsie-fied

I was thinking about random things the other day, you know how you do, when washing the dishes or some other repetitive task where the mind can wander as you function on auto-pilot.
Anyway, I got to thinking how pretty Shamsie is because, well, she's gorgeous.

She is literally the color of my paint bottles!















At some point it occurred to me how weird it would be if other things were the same color scheme as Shamsie. 
If they were.........








....Shamsie-fied!

Fauna Friday

Today's feature is Shamsie again!  She's so cute hanging out in the window, she likes to sit there for a few minutes and see what's up outside - there's construction going on across the street so she's curious about the hammering and whatnot.

A piece of paper will often keep her busy for a while and stop her from chewing up things she shouldn't mess with.  Here's a video of her fiddling around on the window sill.

Today, let's check in on my Indian Ringneck, Shamsie.  She's been sitting on her eggs for a while now (there are 5), they won't hatch as they aren't fertilized..... but instinct is strong and she will brood them for a time before she decides she's had enough of that.

"Um, you do know you're about to get mauled, right?"

"For cryin' out loud, can't a girl nest in peace? Bug off!"

It ain't easy being busy and trying to get multitudinous things done when you've got a bird attached to your chest. But who could say "enough, go away!" to this adorable little face?? Not me, that's for sure :-)

It's Saturday, so it must be.....

..... cleaning day! And when it's cleaning day I run the vacuum. And when I run the vacuum, Shamsie goes berserk. Because to this bird, vacuum = bath time. Without fail, I turn on the machine and that bird is having a bath. She's so smart, she knows "clean"!


She does a much more thorough bath and less running around the cage when I'm actually pushing the vacuum. I'm amazed she let me video her this much, I suppose the call of the tub was too strong.
