Bird Shots™

LOVEBIRD
A Lovebird is a type of small parrot known to be monogamous and is often found sitting for an interminable time next to its mate; hence the name.  And yet one would think that, with all this cuddlefussing, the more proper spelling 'pairrot' would have been long ago adopted...

MOCKINGBIRD
A bird with a serious identity crisis.  The Northern Mockingbird will eat and mimic anything: other birds, insects and even amphibians.
It evidently has a lot of time on its hands.    ~ er... feathers.
