Found this guy at the dump when tossing palm trimmings, almost stepped on him. I thought it best to bring him back to the house i was working at. He stayed right there on my head opening and closing his wings until we got there, even when i stopped in at subway to pick up some lunch. Actually it seems he didnt want to get off when we finally arrived, took a good 5 min to convince him to get off my finger and onto some flowers20180322_135742.jpg

Good for you. He probably wouldn't have made it if left at the dump. He seems very big compared to those I see here.

Yeah for a while it looked like he wasnt gonna make it. He wouldnt try to fly. But after i tried getting him onto a flower he kind fluttered a little. I kept checking on him where i left him, it was at least 3-4 hours before i guess he flew away

"Oh they are buddies and come with a cage" - thanks for the 20g, can't imagine why one is fat and one is skinny. I'm a sucker. 20180315_164538.jpgreceived_10155658802147734.jpeg28c54887-a745-4d37-b2d5-1bff68136bc6.jpg

Good morning! Good thing rainy days and Mondays don't bring me down as the song goes. Today would be a double downer.

I do my biggest round of shopping on my way home on Wednesday mornings. Here are some of what I picked up....

The first store, Wal-Mart was all greens.20180328_073512.jpgAt fresh Thyme it was an assortment, but heavy on fruits and veggies.

Then another Wal-Mart stop for more greens. This is not quite two days of good for those silly shelled ones. Produce guys hate me coming in and wiping out their greens.
