My pet bird blog:
Harley, a Timneh African Grey; and fond memories of a thousand Finsters, and Peanut, a green-rumped parrotlet who died in 2006.

He's Still Dead (Joe's O's)

Posted on: 01/29/07, 16:53:20
[I don't know how to title these entries with new pictures of Peanut. I'm afraid if I don't remind myself us all that Peanut is dead, we'll go a little crazy, expecting to see menacing little zombies everywhere. Not that that's necessarily a bad thing....]

Peanut the parrotlet contemplates breakfast cereal
After the first installation of the "He's Still Dead" story, Mam Adar reminded me of the photographs I took of Peanut staring at the wondrous bounty of a bowl full of Cheerios. I'm not surprised she remembers those pictures. They're some of my favorites, and Bruce's Mom used one of them on the Peanut Clock (picture pops).

Being an equal opportunity cereal eater, Peanut and I also tried out the Trader Joe's version, which is quite good. (Some knock-offs of brand name foods are terrible, like Whole Foods' version of Triscuits. But Joe's O's are pretty good.)

Enjoy a Peanut close up!

He does look very contemplative in those photographs, especially in the close-up.

Plus, the idea of zombie parrotlets is very appealing.

Oh my gosh. Parrotlets can be obsessively single minded about going after what they want (typically food). Zombie parrotlets would be downright scary. Imagine if they had *absolutely* no concept of consequences and simply could not be stopped? Duck and cover!

Your photos of Peanut have always been impressive. Most of my Bug photos are just blurs. Did you use flash?
