Turtles and Birds. . .

Seems these past couple of weeks has a few fun new animal friends coming across our day to day activities. One of our customers at St. Brendan's Isle came to pick up his mail and brought his good pal, Roscoe. Roscoe is a very friendly and colorful parrot. Can't help but to smile at his manners and attitude.

He was kind enough to let me get near him to take a couple of pictures.

To be honest, he was waiting for one of the staff to go get some crackers we had at the table during lunch.  He would have preferred candy from what his owner had mentioned, but would take whatever might be available.

Just wish he WAS able to say, "Roscoe wants a cracker" instead of the standard, "Polly wants a cracker" one always hears.


Then we had Meth meet up with another turtle at the dog park we usually take her.  She doesn't wander far from us but she is getting better at socializing with the other dogs.

But on this day she met another friend who would rather not have her be friends.  She is more cautious since getting bit on the lip from her first encounter with a turtle.  The little guys are getting better at just plain waiting her out until they can escape. :-)
