Shadow the brahminy kite. This hawk is a cooler pet than a parakeet, but
we don't let him loose in our house. I don't recall seeing any budgies
around here, but there is a huge flock of lorikeets that lives near us, and
lots of black kites (another kind of hawk about the same size as Shadow) fly
overhead. When Shadow was younger, I thought he was a brown falcon, but now
his markings are becoming more clear. |
