Sleepy Birds

Picture of the Day for 11/22/2013. I'm fascinated by how a parakeet sleeps- with its head tucked underneath a wing. I finally was able to get some good pictures of my parakeets asleep which is amazing since they are so jumpy when I approach their cage- even when they are sound asleep. After several years of residing safely in my home, they are still fully convinced it's only a matter of time before I kill them. They are always on high alert. Sigh.
