Happy National Bird Day!

Happy National Bird Day from Chicken and George!
Chicken and George are parakeets. They eat seeds and pellets, love to splash in their little bathtub, and squawk when they think someone should be paying them attention. But not too much attention! They are still nervous around people.
Why do birds get their own special day? Because they’re amazing! Check out some of these fabulous bird facts from Laura Perdew’s SPIT NESTS, PUKE POWER, AND OTHER BRILLIANT BIRD ADAPTATIONS!
