The reason why I chose pictures of my birds is because I love the color of their feathers and they’re all natural and soft. They represent a little different type of bird than we see in Minnesota, and they’re called parakeets. Their colors are different but similar at the same time.
Birds are clumsy, kind, soft, colorful, sleepy, hungry and small. These pictures I took were everywhere at home. I take my birds to visit different parts of my home and they’re all comfortable.
This is my bird Mickey; he’s getting comfortable with his little feathers.
This is my bird Dulce; she’s chilling outside with fresh air.
My bird’s name is Sky and she’s getting really comfy with the soft blanket.
My two birds, the blue one name is Ocean and the green one is Lemon and they love taking pictures.

This interplay of sharp and soft elements in the photograph mirrors the fragile balance between solitude and connection in the natural world.
