Hello,
Some of them are fine large birdies, now ain't they?

A movie?!
I had in mind more along the line of 'dinner'......

Love the B&W photography! Great dialog between the old birds.
Birds of a feather and all that. And also teach your lover's Parrot to say your name, over and over again. Just in case the parrot sees something he shouldn't when you are not there! I know. Bad.

Can one teach a Lover's Parrot the "Non-comittal Hug Pat"? If not, then I suggest "Cheese!".
