Love Bird
Description:
A lovebird (genus Agapornis: from the Greek Agape, for love, and Ornis, for Bird) is a very social and affectionate parrot.
The name Lovebird stems from these birds' bright, caring personalities. For this reason, many people feel strongly that lovebirds in captivity should be kept in pairs. Others believe that lovebirds, like other parrots, are social animals who can bond with human companions when given care and ample attention.
Most lovebirds are blue, green, or lutino although color mutations can feature many different colors. Some lovebird species, like Fischer's, black cheeked, and the yellow collared lovebird, have a white ring around the eye. Lifespan is said to be 10 to 15 years.
Diet:
Recommended foods include a pellet based diet along with fruits, vegetables and grains.
Size:
Lovebirds are about 13-17 cm in size, 40-60 grams in weight and characterized by a small, stocky build and a short, blunt tail. This puts them among the smallest parrots in the world although their beak is rather large for their overall size.

A little something I found along a nature trail the other day, a twisted mind sees humor in many little things.

This is a three shot "Long Exposure" HDR and there was very little light inside, but no foot traffic and my tripod with me made it possible. Far from perfect, but was good fun.
The road at the end angled slightly up is still covered with snow. Plus, this tunnel is shared by nature walkers in the day and animals during the night.
I hope everyone is having a great Friday today and looking forward to the weekend.
(Aussie's & NZ are already having a great weekend, right? lol)

"SHINING CAT"
Image by RayMorris1
The Red Panda is also known as the "shining cat."
It is a small, arboreal animal found in the Eastern Himalayas and SW China. It feeds mainly on bamboo, and also on eggs, insects and small mammals.
Taxonomists have had difficulty classifying this little arboreal character. Its closest relatives - based on DNA analysis - are skunks, raccoons, otters, weasels and badgers. It is distantly related to the giant panda.
