Hello Again,
I've been having trouble with the computer so haven't been able to post anything for a week or so,.....didn't really have anything to post, but was anxious that I couldn't!:) Anyway I was busy at work and cat-sitting for a friend,......( Coco, a Calico,....I'll post her photo )
I did buy a couple of things over the past couple of weeks.
This print caught my attention, high on the wall where it was hanging,( at the Salvation Army ).
I love the print, a wonderful image of the beloved parakeet!( we always had birds around the house growing up ).
This is a joyful piece, nicely printed, and signed in pencil, lower right.
I'm posting it firstly to bring you all a bit of happiness, but would love to know more about the print if someone has something to share about it.
Happy week-end to all,
T.
Thanks for the look and love, Moonstonelover!

and Thank You for the Comment!
Yup, thems keets for sure. I suspect this was probably done by a home artist who happened to be a bird lover. I love birds and still have seven of them chattering at me as I type this. I am also fond of wood working which brings me back to this page. What little I can see of the frame looks like someone modified wood from different frames to fit the sketch. I love the image but think it was home grown. I can't read the signature but the picture speaks for itself and I love it. Although I don't own any parakeets.
I used to see this lovely bright chirpy birds flying in swarm when I worked in the North of W. Australia..it was a sight to be hold...lovely painting!...:-)
We call 'em 'Budgerigars"' or ' Budgies'!
Melopsitticus undulatus.
They were first recorded here in Oz in 1805.
They became hot export items.

fhrjr2, Inky, Suebeejay, Dr. Fluffy, czechman, and Kevin,.....Thank You!, that's a whole lotta budgie love!~
and Thanks for the wonderful comments.
Kevin, I really enjoyed the link, big Thanks for that,( sorry I didn't know as much before ).
The budgies we have here are smaller than a parakeet and cute as all get out. I would love to have a couple of them but that might cause my wife to be a little upset. She seems to think we have enough birds. The picture would really attract a bird lover. Anything to do with birds brings in a nice profit if offered in the right place. A bird lover doesn't look at the money as much as the enjoyment. That is why I am poor.
Thanks for the love, dear Amber!
Valentino97, Thank You for the comment, much appreciated!
You've got a great photo, and the names of your budgies made me smile,...wonderful!
