Man, if I wasn’t on the phone I would have been the bleenest commenter!

Oh well. The tiny birds are hugely adorable :)

Aww, little parrotlets! It’s been so long since I’ve snuggled a birdie…

I love it! But parrotlets don’t say “bok bok.” They say “Eep eep!”

Someone get these guys a bigger frame! They iz squished.

For some reason, this post really made me laugh. I think it’s the word “boid”. Heehee!

I once went to a bead and jewelery show and saw a lady sitting in a booth with the most exquisite, somewhat large parrot pin, that was made to look more authentic by having a tiny gold chain on it’s leg, fastened to a second pin, like she was trying to keep it from escaping. I thought it was one of the most beautiful pieces of fine enamel work I had ever seen. I thought that Fabrege would have been proud to call it something from his workshops.

Then the broach moved on it’s own, walking across it’s “wearer’s” shoulder and cuddling against the lady’s neck.

I talked to her for a minute about her living jewel. Turned out that she bred and collected rare parrots (She stressed that she only bought legal species and naturally what was legal back then isn’t necessarily legal now.) and the little guy on her shoulder was about the tiniest true parrot species in existance. She took him everyplace that it was safe to have him to bring attention to the plight of parrots being collected illegally. Plus, he was her lover bird and the last time I saw him, he had snuggled into the crook of her neck and gone to sleep under a light blanket of hair. I’ve never seen another like him and don’t remember his species. Just that he was a true living jewel.

Somehow, this reminds me of Rick (he of the eyelashes) who was snuggling his birdie…

They are Pacific Parrotlets, are they not?

12 Subhangi 08.06.07 at 2:41 pm

SQUEEEEEEE!!! Is it their actual size????

13 miu 08.06.07 at 2:58 pm

15 Mustella 08.06.07 at 3:05 pm

Pocket parrots with gorgeous coloring. Oh, my cats would go crazy just looking at them!

19 Shelly 08.06.07 at 9:17 pm

PEEPS! Nawhm nawhm ! ;)

20 lurkertype 08.06.07 at 9:43 pm

I am pwnd.

If I didn’t have 2 cats, I’d be driving down to that place hey-h found the link for (click eet, peeps!) and buying a tiny boid.

21 lucy's mommeh 08.06.07 at 9:55 pm

As cute as they are, i still see curved beak & think of flesh that can get taken off of fingers. Stoopid parakeets have scarred me for life. I stick with finches, thanks.

22 snusnu 08.06.07 at 10:16 pm

Hee hee! I love to see little boids. We have blue and green parrotlets and they’re little characters, feisty, fuzzy and sweet. And sweet smelling, too. I love them.

23 Trish 08.06.07 at 11:06 pm

LOL, I have a green parrotlet named Perry, or as I call him, Perribles the Terribles. He is an ounce and a half of pure fury. My cats USED to eyeball him. Then they tried sticking their toes in his cage. They no longer eyeball him. They’re lucky they still have eyes.

24 Kelly 08.07.07 at 12:19 am

OMG!!! These birds are from the breeder I bought my little peepers from! I reckanized the pic. If anyone out there hasn’t snorgled a bird – I highly recommend it!

25 Everbound Venvel 08.07.07 at 4:51 pm

Eeep! Wee little babies! I just want to snorgle their little ‘tockses! Baby bird ‘tocks is the cutest ‘tocks of all!

26 Jackie 08.08.07 at 12:43 am

What cute little Pacific Parrotlets! You should have posted a bigger pic of them! I know that I love my little guy!
