Papageno, the first avian addition to our family (in January 2010) is a rather melancholy sort. So melancholy that after we brought him home he did not eat, drink, sleep, or even move for a matter of days. I force fed him millet spray and gave him water with a plastic spoon. He eventually relaxed a bit and is even perky sometimes, especially since we got Figaro, his hyper pal. One day Papageno discovered a new friend in our apartment, I guess, of an equally melancholy disposition (according to the Wilde Imagination story line). Or else he just thought Ellowyne needed her hair restyled. Regardless, I thought it was really cute - hence the pictures. Papageno was kind enough to wait for me to find my camera, get batteries, and fret about until I finally took the pictures.
