Bird #2

Did I mention that we got a second bird?


Yep.  Izzy was such a cool pet (read: super-duper easy to care for) that we decided that two parakeets would be better than one.  The kids were calling him "Rainbow Bird", but I talked them into "Regen" instead (the German word for rain.  "Regenbogen" would have translated to rainbow but that seemed like a lot of syllables).

We think this one's a boy.  We're still working on taming him; he seems to be a slow learner. And he's a bad influence on Izzy.  She doesn't want to perch on our fingers much anymore; she just wants to be by her boyfriend.  Who knew she'd be one of those girls who ditches her friends when she finds a boyfriend?
