The feral parakeets of London’s parks love figs and apples. Any place you see a fig tree, they are going crazy on it.
No one knows where they call came from - did Jimi Hendrix release them in 1968? Did they escape from the filmset of the African Queen in 1951…? Did they escape from aviaries after the Great Storm of 1987? No one knows for sure. There’s now tens of thousands of them in London and they are cheeky as.

Flash is my QA guy and approves of this new hand mirror. Sadly, my other one is somewhere in Washington state. It was old and beat up and I think it might have previously belonged to someone of significance in my family (maybe?), so I was kind of bummed it was stolen. But things are just things and this new one is perfectly fine, as Flash can attest to. P.S. if you can’t understand birdspeak, he says “Peekaboo!” and “Gimme kiss!” #flashtheparrotlet #parrotlet #parrotletsofinstagram #parrotsofinstagram #parrotlet #birdsofig #mirrormirroronthewall #pacificparrotlet

Happy 4th of July to you all from my little (red), white and blue guy!

Flash contemplates if wearing those earrings with his outfit would be too “matchy-matchy.” What’s your caption for this photo?

Rainy days mean birdie swaddles (his favorite) and watching raindrops through windows (also his favorite). (And lots of editing work for me.)

I can’t even begin to express just how incredibly grateful and relieved I am that Flash is still with me today. We had a terrible scare last evening (you can read about it in my stories) that basically resulted in Flash getting very, very sick, me staying up into the wee hours desperately trying to figure out what I could do to help him, and lots of monitoring of his basic functions to see if he was improving. Which he did, thank goodness. (And thank you to everyone who sent him and me well-wishes! That was so kind and caring and sweet of you all!) I know sometimes people probably think I’m silly for loving a little ol’ bird as much as I do, but even though he’s tiny, he occupies such a giant space in my heart and brings me so much joy there’s no way to ever quantify it through mere words. Birds are such fragile little things, and I’ve been on the other side of it where they don’t improve and it’s basically the worst thing ever. I’m so lucky, and Flash is so lucky, that he came out the other side unscathed. It’s been pouring rain here most of the day, so we’ve had a lot of time to spend together as I’ve worked and watched him. Every little peep he’s made today, every little snuggle and kiss and giggle and acrobatic hop he’s done has made me even gladder, if that’s possible, that his liveliness and comedy and joy are still very much here. I’m pinching myself I’m so happy. What an amazing little nugget he is.

Flash got some quality toilet paper tube time this morning (because who doesn’t love toilet paper tubes, right?!). (Swipe with sound on to see his antics.) Such a tiny comedian!

Somebirdie was super stoked (and super floof!) to hang out amongst the baby raspberry leaves this afternoon. He was so excited he kept telling them to give him a kiss - check out my IG story to see that in action.

He just kills me - in the absolute best way possible of course.

Tiny dino achievement unlocked! How I love my fluffy little stegosaurus.

Okayyyyyy…after a couple questions about why Flash wasn’t also sporting a mask in my last photo, I figured it’d be pretty funny to make him one too. It is about THE tiniest pleated thing I have ever pleated, and is completely and utterly ridiculous, but Flash (surprisingly!) seemed to like it. I think he thinks its sole purpose is to massage his head. anywho. Do yourself a favor and watch his little mask video - if you need a laugh this is guaranteed to get you giggling. Especially the last little thing he says. Oh, Flash. I do love you so, my funny little mask-wearing giggle monster.

This is Flash’s version of a “bath,” where he makes a very big deal about it, yet barely gets wet.

I have a teenager on my hands! December 8th was Flash’s 13th hatch day! I still can’t quite wrap my head around the fact that this feathery little bundle of happiness, hilarity, and pure joy has been by my side for THIRTEEN YEARS. I say this every year, and honestly quite a lot throughout the entire 365 days that march on by on the regular, but I swear, my heart grows bigger with each passing moment he’s in my life. Flash fills me with such immense love for such a tiny thing - sometimes it’s overwhelming (but only in the best way possible). We celebrated by putting up lights outside and the Christmas tree inside, he got to play with the ornament boxes (his favorite!), and enjoyed warming his feathery little bum on the lights (as is his annual tradition). To top it off, he got to feast on broccoli, enjoyed all sorts of cuddles and pets, and wound down his night with snuggles and kisses against our necks. Oh Flash man, my little pookie doo, you sweet schnookie boy - I love you with all my heart and more. Happy hatch day, Flashy Pants!

Merry Christmas from mister Flash and me!

Beautiful bouquet from Susie and Katie (thank you again!), and gorgeous florals by Habitat Floral.

I am so thankful that 12 years ago today this bright and beautiful little bundle of baby birdie goodness hatched into this world and eventually made his way to me, and subsequently into every recess of my heart. He may be small, but he packs so much joy, humor and sweetness into his 4 ½-inch tall body, and shares it all, both with me, and others who love him too. I cannot believe he’s 12! To celebrate he got a big bath this morning, lots of neck scritches, cuddle time in my hair, a trip to the kitchen to whisper sweet nothings to his longtime love the garbage can, fresh spinach, some bites of a piece of popcorn, and for dessert he’ll be treated to vanilla yogurt. He’s a very happy little birdie and I love his little self with my entire heart.

I title this: Life with Parrotlet. Flash is literally RIGHT IN everything I do. But I love it. ♥️
