I love the way children react to animals- especially ones they don't usually get to touch and hold. This little girl was absolutely fascinated with her new friend. And the volunteer from the rescue organization that brought the birds was great with her- gently telling her how to handle the bird and letting her pet its back.
Thank you Connie, Babs, Katy, Lou Ann, Kerri, Kathy, Sally and Wendy!
@onewing Thanks for the ID too- as I thought this was a lorikeet but didn't trust my memory!!
