Wow that is big and beautiful!

Mango is a pretty bird!😃

"a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush" = It is better to have something less valuable than to pursue something more valuable that may not be able to be obtained." Such a lovely bird too!

Lots of dogs, cats, and birds here, we collectors do love our pets. I thought I'd post one more of my sweet CockerSpaniel that just left us after 14 wonderful years.

Paradisefound · January 31, 2019 7:30PM

Without you, there wouldn't be another chance of someone winning one! Not everyone can win, but at least everyone has the chance. Thank you!

Sorry for the loss of your Cocker, Onastone; in a strange coincidence my sister just lost hers too, Alvin was 14 as well.
They leave a gap that is a long time in filling.

Hey, the odds are infinitely better than the lottery and the tickets are free.
