Tweety! You didn't cook him/her? (Standing on that cooking pot and all..)

No it just looks a bit weird because of the straight-on flash. You can tell by looking at the shadows - they're consistent with a close flash throughout the picture. :)

I've been feeding the same type of birds at my place for several weeks, along with about 4 doves. They seem to be geting more tame by the day.

I forget if it is good or bad, but that is supposed to bring some kind of luck according to Colombian superstitions. Good I think. Shows you how much I listen to superstitions.

That's much nicer than the visitors we got when we had a first floor apartment in Villavo. A 3 foot iguana took up a perch inside the bathroom window once. The real fun one was a feral cat that decided to jump into our living room while I was watching Sin Tetas, No Hay Paraiso. I could handle a little tweety bird. It has been briefly discussed before, but why are there no window screens in Colombia? ... I am sure there are somewhere, but they must be a VERY rare item. I never saw one.

I made screens for all my exterior windows. I brought plastic screening with me from Panama on one of my trips. I've seen metal screen at Homecenter. Yep, I'm the only one that I know who uses screened windows. I enjoy a whole lot less flies, mosquitos.....

As a wild all yellow bird in Cali I´d say it´s a Safron Finch (English) or Sicalis Coronado (Spanish).

RJ - I think it is the slat window phenomenon. Folks value natural air circulation and the slat windows seem to catch the breeze well ( I prefer casement windows myself).

I didn't even think of that (about the types of windows). My windows just swung out like glass doors, so it would have been impossible for there to be screens on them, unless mounted on the inside. We had 7 floors above us too, so when a storm would blow through, sometimes the people upstairs would have their windows crashing closed because of the wind, and it would be raining glass.

great thread... birds in colombia are a treat.

back about 1990, i was walking up calle 10 in poblado on a sunday morning headed for my favorite bakery for a 'cap'.

on the corner of the street that turns over to parke lleras at the bottom end, sat a guy with two toucans in a cage. after a short haggle, i bought the two birds for about $30.00 later i bought a huge cage in laureles for about $70-80 dollars. i mean a huge cage. about 40 inches in diameter by over 5 ft tall.

had the birds for a couple of years. one finally died but the other lived with us til we returned to california. my father-in law took care of the other for a while. he only lived a month or two after we left. maybe he was attached to us.
