PICS
The Cherry blossoms are in full bloom. I put some fallen ones in my room.
Good morning.
Yesterday while I was walking somewhere I heard a strange bird call that I didn't recognise, I looked up and something pale fluttering around the rooftops. It had a long tail and for a minute I wondered if it was a kestrel but quickly I realised it wasn't a british bird but some poor little escapee. It was a cockatiel! I suppose it must have got out of it's cage somehow. It's maybe a good thing to escape from a cage but I don't suppose captive birds get on very well in the wild. There are some semi-naturalised colonies of parakeets in London, escaped pets which ended up breeding in Hyde Park! I imagine usually that a bird which is very obviously coloured, unlike all our little grey and brown birds, would be liked to be eaten by a crow or a bird of prey or a gull. I did wait for a very long time trying to will the little bird to come down from the roof but he just sat up there for hours. I looked out the window at him while I attended the class I was at. By the time I finished he was gone though. I was imagining he would just fly down and I could take him home and look after him so I was disappointed it didn't all pan out like the sweet film I always with my life was.
It was one of these little fellows, isn't it sad to think of him wandering around lost in the city? I hope he might find his way somewhere nice -
When I was looking up pictures of cockatiels you see that all of them are taken in some artificially lit room against painted walls or in a cage, so different from when you look up a to see pictures of a wild bird. It's quite sad I suppose. We love little creatures so much and want to possess them but maybe it's not the right thing to do. I love birds so much and it would be amazing to be able to be friends with one but I would never want to trap them. I suppose that was why I was excited at the prospect of saving the cockatiel because it seemed to give me allowance for doing so. Although maybe there is an argument for creatures living much longer and less difficult lives in captivity that fighting for survival in the wild but captivity is captivity. I don't suppose it's really possible to know. The anthropocentric view becomes confusing I think and it's an impossible trap to escape from most of the time.
Anyway, I am here to tell you something very grave and important. GoGo and I are naked here ^_^ - http://suicidegirls.com/members/AnnaLee/albums/site/29276/ We had such a beautiful time, she is the softest, loveliest wolf in the world. It make me really happy looking back at these pictures, as with our last set, as they bring back such nice memories. (And, GoGo wearing suspenders? *thud*) Thank you for all the lovely comments so far, I just read them all and I'm so glad you guys like it!
I hope you are all well. I'm hopefully going to the sea today but I have a bit of a cold and all run down. It's like I finished my last days of work and my body decided to give up. Hope it won't last long. I'm going to go and eat lots of oranges and hot tea now for breakfast xx
P.S. Here are the cherry blossoms, it seems like it's nearly over already. I wish they lasted just a few days longer.

Have you been to Australia? If you love birds I think you will love it, they have sooo many different species living wild just hanging out - cockatoo's, kockatiel's, (I know it sounds like a sausage fest' but there's plenty of good looking bird's too!) BAM!!
Parakeets, Ibis, and gnarly big fruit bats shitting everywhere in the corso' of Manly. Be warned though, these extra large budgies make extra amounts of noise over there.... you'll see.
Just ask David Attenborough.

I love cherry blossoms 
And the multi is incredble, you too look like a match made in heaven.
No captivity is good except if it's the only chance of survival 
just my opinion

Your set is lovely and those cherry blossoms are so sweet! There are a lot of escapee cockies round these parts, they're really popular pets because people get all patriotic about them. Sometimes they join a wild flock and you hear the whole flock has learnt to say 'who's a pretty boy'. Sometimes they go and find another family to live with. I had that happen once, a budgie flew in my window!! They're drylands birds though, so I don't know how they'll do up your way. Speaking of wild coloured birds, this rainbow lorikeet turned up on a friend's balcony the other day and got very excited about my sunflower seeds:
