That's a special budgie named Blinkie. He belongs to Bea, one of our early group members. She's not here any more, but she went on to be one of the co-founders of the Talk Cockatiels group. She's not there any more either, her life got busy and I think she's moved on from hanging out on bird forums. That picture won our photo contest in 2006. I wanted to include Blinkie in the banner because his adventures were such a major topic on LFB when I first joined.

The bird with the open wing is a mousebird. They're said to be great pets.
