Birds! I love birds. As a young child, I was obsessed with dinosaurs. It's funny that that seems to have unintentionally carried over into my adolescence and adulthood. My room now is full of birds. Wooden birds, fabric birds, ceramic birds. I would love to care for birds at a sanctuary or something. And/or rescue a dove. I don't think I would be good at taking care of a parrot. Whenever I travel now, one of the things I'm most excited about is building my life list. Note that these IDs were done to the best of my ability... But I only add to the list when I'm at least 85% confident. |
