Birds, baby birds, and more birds!

It's that time of the year when your nine parakeets start to breed and hatch six eggs, and five more eggs get laid. I think that I can say with certainty that we have too many parakeets, however adorable they are when they are chicks. Speaking of the adorableness of them, here are some cute pictures(I hope they're cute to you, it could be that they're my own birds that I think them so cute) of them. 

The first baby of my bird Banana's clutch of eggs, Evergreen, of whom we got to observe its hatching.

This is Evergreen a few weeks after the first picture, my star pupil at posing for pictures; he/she actually stays still for more that three seconds!

My brother named this one, the second eldest, Zaphod, from the book "A Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy". Zaphod rarely stays still, as you can see here, he's(I think it's a 'he') preening, and if he isn't doing that, he's either a) trying to hide in my hair, or b) running around the room and exploring every nook and corner. 

Evergreen is so photogenic. 

The mighty King/Queen Evergreen surveys his/her kingdom from under his/her/ nobley large beak with pleasure.

These are all of Banana's babies. From top to bottom: Zaphod, Pascal (third eldest), the rump of Unnamed Baby no. 1 (we didn't want to name it because we were going to sell it and didn't want to get too attached to it), Evergreen, and in the bottom left is Unnamed Baby no. 2, the youngest out of the five birds.  

Unnamed Baby no. 2 sits quietly, and mildly confusedly. 

Unnamed Baby no. 2 getting sent back to its mother, Banana.

 

Zaphod makes a run for the nesting box while my sister places Unnamed Baby no. 2 back in the nesting box.

Like I said, Evergreen is so photogenic. 

A jumbled heap of Evergreen, Zaphod and Pascal, all trying to hide under the cover of their parents' cage.

I believe this is our yellow bird Faith's baby, who also doesn't have a name for the same reason as Unnamed Babies no. 1 and 2. 

Nature Photos(Surprise surprise!)

 Here are some pictures of my neighborhood and woods after it had rained heavily, and just some random pictures. As you can tell, I like random pictures.

 Our local creek was swollen. A lot. 

 Some random unknown plant that I thought was cool. :)

 I think, after about twenty minutes of research, I have found out that this is a Ruby Tiger Moth, or, if you would prefer its scientific name, Phragmatobia Fuliginosa Borealis.

 I was having fun with the camera effects. :)

Again, having fun with the camera. :)

Random photography

Here I have another page of random photography, although probably not as many pictures.
 Most of these photos were taken by various family members, but the last two were taken by me. :)

A snake my brother found on the bike path.

A monarch butterfly that has perched itself on my nose.

He looked cold.

My Venus Fly Trap that died shortly after I got him. <_<

Who here doesn't like birds? I mean, seriously. They're cute, cuddly, soft, and make pretty noises. How much better can it get? :D Me and my sister are MASSIVE bird fans, thus we have four of them, and about five more coming. :) My sister's parakeet has laid two eggs, and we are SO excited. So, anyway, here are some pictures of our backyard birds. (FYI, my sis took some of these)
Enjoy!
