Morning Yoga

The dogs and I enjoy our morning stretching exercises.

Theirs' is called Doga. 

Mine is called Yoga.

And then, there's the lovebirds. 

They stretch and do headstands and downward facing dog and all sorts of calesthentics before they attack breakfast. 

In each photo, check out their stretches, splits and dips. 

 STRETCH those legs!

STRETCH the back!

Finally, breakfast!

Tomorrow, we plan on observing 

Lovebird Zumba!

Designed by nature

The morning ritual

 

 I never grow tired of these lovebirds. 

Every morning I await their arrival at the feeders. 

They aren't present at 4:30 a.m., 

nor at 5:15 a.m.

But by 5:40, their chatter starts. 

They emerge from the leaves of our trees.

They spruce themselves.

 

Then they invade the feeders, 

holding on with beaks and claws.

 

 They are a ray of sunshine as the morning begins.

It goes

For those who need a lovebird fix, 

the count in our backyard has jumped to 22.

We haven't succeeded in capturing all 22 in one photo. 

But we hear them!

The count is eight

 The count of wild lovebirds at 

our feeders is EIGHT.

Four females, four males; pairs for life.

 Our mornings are filled with their beauty 

and their crazy chatter.

Love (birds) is (are)  in the air!
