when i found my wings
When I found my wings
When I found my wins,
I found I could do so many things.
I could hover, I could soar…
I found a world I never knew before.
I could lift my spirit up into the clouds.
Even if only I could hear it…
It was loud.
When i found my wings.

❤️๐๐ชถ๐ฆOur beautiful pteribird from February 21st of 2014๐ฆ๐ชถ๐❤️
She passed on July 12th of 2014. She was a victim of inbreeding and had a very poor prognosis. She lived far longer than was predicted. She was a happy boidie and a treasure.
We believe she sent us magic Mikey
have a supercool saturday
❤️have a biteyful day everyboidie❤️
If joy had a face
And little toes
And a beakysnoot…
Joy would then be
A synonym
For cute
❤️๐ฆ๐๐ชถ
We miss you

february 20th is also national muffin day
❤️have a fabulous Friday frens❤️
Today February 20th is also national muffin day
Breakfast with our mikey was always a hoot…
As he muscled into the food with his beakysnoot.
He liked what he liked, and we always served it…
After all, he toe-tally deserved it.
We miss you little boidie so so much
❤️๐๐ชถ๐ฆ
#NationalMuffinDay
february 20th is national love your pet day
❤️happy Friday frens and….
It’s national love your pet day❤️
Did our magic Mikey put his own
Biting spin on this…
Yeah you bet.
He decided that we humans
Were the pets.
Far be it from us
To disagree…
He was far cuter and
Smarter than we.

grief
Time heals at times slowly. Our babies move into our hearts and lives and when they pass, the emptiness and silence is deafening.
All we who mourn and grieve can do is go through the process and try to focus on when our babies were happy and healthy.
We feel lost without our loved one(s)
but are trying to cope with the changes, one day at a time.
we reach a state of "okay" but this "okay" is not the same as the one we felt when our loved one was still with us.
love is life.
life is love.
love is beautiful.
love is loss.
love is everything.

have a wonderful wednesday
❤️happy Wednesday everyboidies❤️
From January 20th 2024
Magic Mikey and my yoga pants had an “alter-cation”
Our little tailor decided they needed some alterations
So with his toesies and his cheeky beak
Our boidie decided some holes would make
These leggings look chic.
So he went to work on the aforementioned perforations
And suddenly my legs were wearing a fashion sensation.
We miss you little fashionista

We can be quite ornery
We do not suffer fools
We are important to ecosystems
Which makes us very cool
Our babies are quite adorable
As a rule

mysterious orb
Mysterious orb floats
through clouds and sky.
Secrets to tell,
But will not say why.
These secrets shall remain
Not always quiet but unspoken…
Will goodness prevail?
There is always hoping
❤️๐ถ
having a wistful wednesday
From October 16th of 2025
To our little loveboat
We knew at this time your health issues
Were growing stronger…
We wanted a miracle,
For you to be with us longer.
You tolerated your meds
and fluid injections,
But we think you already knew,
There was no getting better for you.
You took each moment
As the little lifetime it was meant to be,
We are forever a family
❤️๐ชถ๐ฆ๐๐๐
Thank you for choosing and adopting us
Wednesday wishes
❤️have a wonderful Wednesday world❤️
❤️love is the bond that cannot be broken❤️
You are near
I know you are near me
Though sometimes you
Don’t hear me
You are as close
As a prayer
Which is everywhere
❤️๐๐ผ๐ฆ๐๐ผ❤️

Mr cardinal in cold winter,
tough,
Sits in the wind, feathers a fluff.
his busy day on the wing.
Dreaming perhaps
Of the spring.
❤️๐ชถ

You can do it
You can climb high
You don’t need
Wings that can fly
Just believe in yourself
And, like our magic Mikey…
Just try❤️๐ชถ๐๐ฆ

Pigeons are
Pigeons are truly incredible beings. To know them and know about them is beautiful.
Pigeons are beautiful.
They are not pests, nor vermin.
They partner up, raise families…however and wherever they can.
The challenges they face are enormous, as is their courage in facing these challenges.
We have a lot to learn from these wise, feathered teachers.

my feathers
My feathers in the wind are tossed…
As I sit,
No I am not lost.
I sit and wait until
The wind dies down…
Then I shall eat
The good food on
The ground.
❤️๐ชถ๐จ
Happy rose day
❤️have a splendid Saturday❤️
❤️๐นtoday February 7th is rose day๐น❤️
A sweet reminder that life is a flower.
Every second and hour.
That time changes many...
But love does not bend,
To the vagaries and uncertainties.
The depth of love
Never ends.
Pteribird and magic Mikey two flowers among the stars ✨๐ซ

happy friday and wear red day
❤️happy Friday❤️
And wear red day! February is national heart month and February 6th is wear red day, to raise awareness of women’s cardiovascular health.
On April 9th of 2021, I was hospitalized for a near fatal heart infection. I had open heart surgery on April 16th, when my condition stabilized. I was in the hospital 12 days.
While i was ill, our Mikey worked his magic on his papabeaky, who went back and forth from visiting me at hospital and keeping up with Mikey’s fluids at vet and meds at home.
They quietly supported each other.
When papabeaky brought me home, we had 7 more weeks of antibiotics delivered through a pic on my arm. And numerous home medical visits.
Our Mikey kept us sane and smiling.
And they both kept me alive.
The bonds we form are as deep as life itself and beautiful beyond what words can express.

Western monarch day
February 5th is western monarch day
the beauty of monarchs
their magic wondrous.
their numbers once vast,
disappearing from view.
a face from our ancient
worlds mysteries
as they fly into the moonlight
the stars cry out their names.
Please protect them
Without them
Our world will not be the same

Pic from September 13th of 2014
This was our magic Mikey’s third day here…
And dis boidie made it very clear…
As we sat and did not budge
Who was gonna be da boss
And that we were being judged
All humans on double secret probation
In magic mikey nation
