Most excellent Sunny!
I've had three birds in my life. Two lovebirds (not at the same time) and a quaker parrot. All were ...uh...foisted upon me by circumstance. I never clipped their wings and let them fly free in my acreage. When my Aunt found out (she gave me the parrot), she drove across the state to personally admonish me....
When she arrived the bird (that was her name... "the bird") was in the large oak by the driveway. My aunt couldn't believe it. Won't she fly away? "nah"....she knows she's got it good. I just sit outside for ten minutes to listen for hawks and then its fun time!

CJ, did your Aunt take the bird back or do you still have him/her?
Wow, lovebirds and quakers are quite small! I would be a mess, running around looking up at all the trees, omg, I would be a mess! Cool story.

My first lovebird died of natural causes. The second flew off on me right after an incident at my mom's house when a neighbor lost her two lovebirds and my mom set a bird cage trap for them. My bird (Kiwi) saw the whole thing and I think it freaked her out. That was in Redington.
The Quaker (the bird) was given back to my Aunt since she fell in love all over again with the bird. Originally my Mom brought the bird over when I let her move into one of my houses, but she was terrible with it. Nothing unkind but like so many people, they underestimate the COMMITMENT. I'd show up and the bird was always alone. She left to go see my sis in Chi town and by the time she got back that bird would not give her the time of day... I'm like an animal magnet I guess, but it's about seeing thru their eyes and not my wants. The rest is ez.
That bird was NOT happy after she left though, but after a few months she settled in nicely as my Aunt has 4 other birds. It just took awhile.
Birds are very kewl, but it takes a big heart and energy to do right by THEM.

That Quaker (the bird) will end up back with you! Mark my words, lol. My guys are a huge commitment, but, I wouldn't have it any other way! They are family. I would love to be able to do what you did with just letting them go and let them hang in trees! Too cool.My first lovebird died of natural causes.

I especially enjoyed the B/W of the Nuphar. B/W is not to be under estimated. That last sunset looks like a nuke test...I want to get in on this as well.
I've seem alot of great pics on here!!
I don't have as much time anymore to get out and take pics. Here are some I took a few years back. I hope you enjoy them.
I have more just not the time to shrink them rite now.

Thanks CJ, I also enjoy the b/w. That pic ends up on my desktop every now and then. It was taken on a 50mi 3 day canoe trip. The others are from my area. We get some BIG storms and beutifull sunsets.I especially enjoyed the B/W of the Nuphar. B/W is not to be under estimated. That last sunset looks like a nuke test...

From what I understand, Thailand is the most natural place to grow orchids (easiest). Hawaii can't be far behind...
