LIz, does Belle have her own bed for the long trip to AK?
Is she housebroken?
What do you feed her - small metal shrimp and small metal insects?
(she is metal, isn't she?)

Good questions!! Things most of us probably have pondered!! Love your sense of humor!!!!

Oh, my dear Mitchie, you don’t know much about us birds do you? It’s a nest, dearie, a nest! And it’s the finest pink plush nest any bird would envy, don’t you think? It doubles as a carrying bag for me and my travel journal. My very first caretaker, Lori, got it for me. I do miss Lori…she took such good care of me.



Not that Liz was mean to me, we’ve had some grand adventures, but Liz is, well, let’s just say that sometimes she’s a bit careless I think,… just my opinion. Like there’s the time she forgot me sitting out on a piling at Keaton Beach after dark. I thought I was a goner for sure. Then, and I notice she never told you this, there was the time my wing came off and she couldn’t find it. I knew right where it was of course, but Liz was convinced it was lost forever. When she finally found it, she glued it back in place and I’m as beautiful as ever, so I’ve forgiven her.

Now I’ll tell you, things are all aflutter here, with just one more day of preparation for my biggest adventure ever! Everyone is very excited (except Bandit…that cat won’t get excited until Liz puts him in the rv…then watch out!).

Housebroken? How could you even ask such a thing, hmmmph! I will tell you that my feathers are made of the finest pink enameled metal that China manufactures. And because of that, I don’t eat, but I can call YOU to dinner with my bell!

You'll be hearing from me soon!

Oh, Belle - your bed looks like it'll sure keep you warm on your upcoming adventure...try not to wander too far off from your caretaker, or the grizzlies might get ya. Of course, you can't help it if you're left behind on some dock...wingless, to boot. I hope you make it back to the lower 48 in one piece...I'd like to meet you some day!

Oh, by the way, is any of this yours?

Oh my gosh, Belle, some of your relatives are allowing them to bottle their poop. I'm so glad you have more class than that - we've never even seen any poop from you - you hide it so well. Looking forward to seeing you again in a few weeks, Belle.

Oh, Belle, I miss you, too!!! Glad to see that your pink nest/pouch is working well for you....and I'm sure it will be a nice warm place for you on your trip with the gals to Alaska.....I hope you have reminded Liz, and now Beth, to be sure you take time to write in the journal......I hope someday, to visit with you and read it......and yes, I seem to remember a sweater you got in Florida... ....
