Brrrrr

This is Olive. She is one of the Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill. Tonight I'm sitting here, after tucking in my household of parrots, and I wonder how the wild birds keep from freezing! I even put a blanket over my sensitive plants in the garden! Buster, my feather challenged grey, has a heated perch to roost on if he gets cold. My elderly little cockatiels have a heat panel attached to the side of their cage. I know the wild birds are equipped to handle the cold...and luckily it is a little less cold in San Francisco, but I shiver when I think of them out there! I'm the kind of person who makes warm hummingbird nectar to help the hummers on frigid mornings.
