My Feathered Children

I was sorting through the photos from Flock Hall Christmas '07 last night. Just like a human parent, I am amazed at how different my kids are. They have very different personalities, and they're in very different places in life. Ajax is a mostly mature male, while Imelda is a female, and still a baby. Observe:


Ajax, checking out the Christmas tree.


Imelda, tasting the Christmas tree...


Ajax, the Christmas Parrot, posing nicely.


Imelda, the Christmas Dinosaur, refusing to pose...


Ajax, pondering the meaning of Christmas.


Imelda, pondering the camera...

I don't think either of them can read (yet) so I'm pretty sure that having some fun here at Imelda's inability to hold still won't give either of them a complex. Just to prove that she can hold still and be quite beautiful, here's the photo we put on her online dating profile...


Hi, I'm Imelda. I'm a Taurus who's into almonds, shredding toys, shrieking, and hanging upside down. Call me!

YAY!
I've been pining for an Imelda update but didn't wanna ask since i'm a blog friend and those are your babies.

They are hella cute pics!
Imelda's dating already??? Isn't she still a baby?
Sheesh - growin up quick.

In the spirit of Birds being cool, and you being vegan i have emailed you a new game I found from PETA.

Enjoy!

The Chick Sisters do a pretty good job of filling in for Mario and Luigi!
Thanks for the game, Mayren. :)

I like these pictures a lot even if she doesn't hold still they are still good. Ajax did really really well... and by they way tell her she is to young to date...lol
