These drawing came into existence after I noticed a serious lack of parrot art in my portfolio!
Both of these mini prints (which I adore by the way) will be available on my website when it reopens on the 12th of July at 5pm UTC+2!
I might try and make another bird before that! I’m thinking Indian Ringneck, Quaker, or Lovebird 
Good Moo! As Ziggy said cheerfully to me as soon as I came into the living room this morning.. and then when I lifted her cover she yelled "Keek-a-boo!" and proceeded to make her laughing sounds l. Today may be dark and dreary, but Ziggy has brightened it right up 
I went looking for a new couch when I was out with my daughter yesterday. Found one I really like that has recliner seats, but I'm now wondering how that would work with Toby, the Monster of Mischief. Maybe not such a good idea after all 
If he would stay up high like a normal parrot that wouldn't be an issue, but since he's a floor parrot he'd end up trying to get into the seat mechanisms for sure!
Parrot kitchen for me this morning, and then I have to get on with that crochet order as it needs to be posted early next week.
Have a lovely day, whatever you get up to 
It's cold and grey here in Melbourne - so here's some bright colour, provided by a pair of Rainbow Lorikeets, feeding on some gum flowers.

Good morning you lovely lot 
I'm up early with the parrots today and Ziggy loves me. I know this, because she has yelled "I love you!" at me in her sweet little voice about twenty times already this morning. I love her too 
Whenever I feel the weight of the last few weeks bearing down one me, there is Ziggy to lighten my load and make me smile. She's a genuine angel. 
I should really crochet today as I need to finish off the custom order I'm working on to post early next week, and I also need to get on with the competition toy, but I'm really low on spoons today so I'll see how it goes. Might end up just watching something or playing Stardew Valley on my Switch. That little game has been a gentle godsend over the last wee while. I have it on PC, but I bought it for the Switch to travel by train and it's the best £10 odd I have ever spent
Have a lovely day, whatever you get up to
New addition!

Good morning everyone 
I'm up later today as Grant is going birding and I was just totally exhausted by the end of yesterday. The parrots were so quiet this morning that I actually checked to see if Grant has overslept. I went back to sleep and dreamt we were trying to take them to the vet, but every time we got ready yet another bird was found and we had to dash around trying to find travel cages. Eventually we were just too overwhelmed so I phoned to say we'd have to reschedule, but the vet said they had to move to Aldershot due to the Seasonal Striders. I then looked and over the bridge three huge giants, about twenty feet tall, came striding. That's when I woke up
Off to the vet later to pick up Ziggy's medicine, but probably some crochet before that.
Have a lovely day, whatever you get up to
Good morning everyone 
I am up early with the parrots today and have been having lovely Ziggy cuddles while half dozing to the sounds of the air filter and Toby chomping. We went out and bought a number of new toys to tempt Toby away from the telly and wiring, including another baby remote control. This one lights up and makes various noises so we thought it would keep him occupied for a bit, but unfortunately Ziggy has claimed it and loves to push it across the floor, making her laughing noises. So Toby decided last night to try and climb up the standing lamp which has a long, thin, metal pole. He managed to get halfway up too - looking like some green feathered exotic dancer as he swung there. They do lift my spirits so, my crazy wee dinosaurs
I should try and catch up with crochet today as I'm behind on an order, but the creative juices are a bit dry.
Have a lovely day, whatever you get up to
A pair of parrots at Brooklyn Bridge park. This one is for the birds — and the people who love them
Good morning everyone I'm up later today as Grant has gone birding and got up for the parrots. It's going to be really hot today, so he's headed out early while it's still cool enough to enjoy, and to actually see the birds who will no doubt be hiding away later as it warms up. I'm sitting with the Crew now with coffee and Classic FM Calm.
I may be intermittent on here for a while due to family illness. We've been on an emotional rollercoaster over the last couple of months that's finally coming to an inevitable end I'm afraid. I'll post when I can, but things are going to be a bit out of whack for a while.
Crochet today and the kind of rubbish telly that takes the mind off things for sure.
Have a lovely day, whatever you get up to. Hug your loved ones close

Good morning everyone I am up early with the parrots this morning and currently having a hand cuddle with Ziggy, who is grumbling away happily to herself, the only other sounds being the white noise of their air filter and Toby chomping away. It's so peaceful that I always start to get drowsy again at this point. Here's a short video of Toby playing with his ball yesterday evening. That was after me chasing him around for ages to prevent him trying to chew wires, and Grant's bobble head collectables 
I will definitely be crocheting today after failing to get to it yesterday. It turned out that after going shopping at Lidl, I then had to clean out all of the food cupboards. I mean there was stuff in there going back to pre 2019 - it was definitely required! After that I was too knackered to do much else though, so today is crochet for sure, and bad telly.
Have a lovely day, whatever you get up to
Good morning everyone Later rise for me as Grant got up for the parrots today. He's still dozing on the couch as we speak, and we're all listening to Classic FM Calm as I drink my first cup of coffee, Ziggy grumbling away happily under her preening arch. It's looking quite tatty now as she has been pulling the threads like mad, so I ordered her another one, but the cotton is cut so short it's hardly a preening arch at all. I'm thinking of making my own using cotton yarn as she really needs threads long enough to preen and cuddle up in. I'm not sure how they manage to get large twists of thread though. It's almost plaited, but not quite. I'll need to have a play around with it.
A bumble around Lidl on the cards after I wake up enough and then working on the second custom crochet order after that.
Have a lovely day, whatever you get up to
It's #PollinatorWeek so here is your regularly scheduled reminder that bees aren't the only pollinators

Good morning everyone 
I'm up with the parrots, but I wouldn't say early as my internal alarm clock completely failed today and I woke up two hours later than normal 
Luckily that is only a half hour late for the parrots, but it entailed a mad rush around for me as I tripped over myself and knocked things flying in my panic to get everything I normally do at a leisurely pace done in ten minutes Ziggy, surprisingly, still spent about ten minutes with me for a quick cuddle, but as expected, was then demanding she be taken over to get her breakfast. Toby, also surprisingly, didn't do his food dance, which is him dancing from side from one foot to the other and making a low moaning sound as in "Feeeeed meeee!" 
Some parrot kitchen this morning and then more crochet.
Have a lovely day, whatever you get up to
A green cheek conure drawing, because they don’t get nearly enough love!
Soon available as badges and Mini prints!
Good morning you lovely lot I am back home and up early with the parrots again today and have just finished a lovely long cuddle with Ziggy, who was so excited to see me yesterday when I got home that she totally forgot to bite me for leaving her in the first place The pure joy in her wee face and the excited "Helloooow!" when I walked in the door - oh my heart Parrots are people, strange alien little people certainly, but people nonetheless
Despite the Train Gods being kind and an uneventful trip home yesterday, I am really low on ye olde spoons today, so I will be taking it easy and maybe doing a wee bit of work on the latest crochet order as I am not back at work yet. I managed to finish the other one over the weekend so that one can be posted tomorrow. I also have the competition toy to work on, which I will get to again later in the week.
Have a lovely day, whatever you get up to
Good morning Fellow Travellers around the Sun After a very wet night here in the Highlands, it is a nice cool morning for travelling back down again and hopefully the Train Gods haven't flooded any of the line
It's been a quick few days, but it feels like ages since I have seen my parrots, so I will be very glad to get back to them again later. No doubt I will be in the dog house with Ziggy for a wee bit for daring to leave her, but she'll forgive me eventually
So, I'll be prepping for the journey this morning and hopefully have time to give Dad a Father's day gift before I go.
Have a lovely day, whatever you get up to
