This week's pics: art, birdies, etc.

It's been a few days since my last post but I have been quite productive! Here are all the barrettes I've made so far this week:

Here's me, playing with a sulfur-crested cockatoo in the zoo. She seemed pretty tame, a wild bird normally would not let you pet it like this. She was in the cage by herself and seemed lonely...sad because they are social birds. When I whistled, she repeated the noises right back to me. I wanted to take her home!!!
