Bird Care Basics

Went to the Tower Grove Farmer’s Market a little late and got some kombucha. Drank it and had snacks at a nearby friend’s. It was so windy that Misha had a hard time hanging on to my arm (his toes face the wrong way and are spastic, from birth). He was glad to sit on our laps on the porch! @confluence_kombucha @tgfarmersmarket #moluccancockatoo #stlpets #happybird #cockatoo #specialneedsbird #birdouting #towergrovefarmersmarket #towergrovepark #southgrandstl #southstlouis #birdabouttown #birdsocializing #parrotsofinstagram #cockatoolove #cockatoolove (at St. Louis, Missouri) https://www.instagram.com/p/CctUu_hp_Sk/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I know, I've kind of changed my identity over here, it matches my birdsocial now. I am enjoying my cabbit fursona, currently, and she's getting a suit made to be finished this year.

I've changed a lot since I've first joined Tumblr and it's fun to go back into the archive sometimes.
