We always joke when we put Oscar in a tree... and we say... here is Oscar pretending to be a real bird... lol.... Here is he helping me decorate my Xmas tree. He doesn't mind the tree when it is bear but he won't go in it after it is decorated. |

Cute! I love his bright green on his head & tail; he's a handsome devil all right. I wonder how he'd react if you bought some of those pretend stuffed birds and put them in the tree instead of decorations?  Not well, I expect - sorry Julianna, that's a bit sadistic of me...LOL |

Actually I have a lot of birds that go on my Xmas tree. And yes... Oscar hates them all especially the ones with real feathers. lol

Speaking of birds on the christmas tree, I got this great ornament at our local Parrot store... By "avian artist Betty Keil" -- that's all it says on the back, I don't know much else besides the fact that they had them for many different types of parrots  |

Aaron, I love it! I wonder if they have them in blue? I could get Bonnie one for next year (she'd probably rip it up on sight)  |

Gosh, I don't remember if they have them in blue! That is a good question! I bet the artist would make you one if they don't already exist though. Seems like a labor of love  Cupcake is indifferent. She does not seem to care about the ornament  |

Thanks for the compliments. I had some plain matte silver glass ornaments that I used, and was still working with oil paints when I did them. I have no copyright on these, so anyone is welcome to borrow my idea. |
