Capturing a Moment in Time

Twinkle is definitely her mommy's bird. As her main caregiver that is probably no surprise. Seeing her choose Adam over me or Tony is pretty rare. One night while Adam was reading, she decided to come over and check him out. I asked Adam to stay still and ignore her so I could grab the camera to capture the moment.  At this point, Twinkle was merely assessing the situation, probably thankful that Elise was not in the room.

Adam was obediently allowing this scene to play out. Here Twinkle is giving him kisses while he continues to read. She hasn't quite gotten his attention. If you know Adam well enough you can tell that he has a smile trying to emerge. This was very fun for him to experience such deliberate attention from her.

Adam is giving her his full attention and they are fully engaged in little luv kisses. Adam was giggly at this point but still just trying to respond to her in such a way that I could take more pictures without her getting spooked and flying off. She luves him!

Adam had been stroking the nape of her neck and petting her to give her the attention she was obviously seeking. In an act of submission, she lay her head down to be nuzzled. Every once in a while she'd kiss his chin as he stroked her head. Twinkle cotinually rubbed her head along his face to encourage a connection between them.

This is my favorite picture. Adam was so pleased to be the chosen one--over me or Tony. Here she is expressing 100 percent submission to him. It was such a sweet interaction between the two of them; I love that it shows how even the least of God's creatures have their own little personalities. Who needs a dog when you have such a loving little 90 gram bird!
