Birds in Paradise

There are many, many reasons I am attracted to Miami. The facts that there are no state or city income taxes and that a rogue child is more likely to be eaten by an alligator than struck by lightning are two. One of the most important is that this tropical city attracts birds to paradise, like our barback-by-day/international entertainer by night, Geraldine.

Of course our in-house pteradactyl, Tiffany, is another.

Last Saturday new birds were spotted near our nest-- exotic ones.

Tiffany could not resist approaching them, complimenting them on their plumage. She told me later that they live on the mainland and go to a popular Latino club there. (I, of course, have never been there because of obvious, dangerous reasons.)

The hatchlings were happy to pose around big bird, mother hen.

Ah... I love Miami.
