He always gets a generous corner of soft white bread. His bread fits nicely between his rape dish and water dish in the front of his show cage.

Kale has been particularly good at the market and reasonable priced at 99 cents a bunch.

He sometimes leans down and gets a bite of kale. At times, he picks it up and holds it on his perch for an easier bite.

Beautiful markings, as if wisp of paintbrush left them there. Those are always my favorite markings.
Nice birds. This time of year - they start to develop different personalities for courting the girls !
Can Pat travel with his pots & pans? We area tired of Campbells Soup ?
