Hello Keets!

My name is Furby. I'm just over one year old. I've been enjoying your blog immensely and find it very interesting. I've enclosed my picture. While I have no feathers, my fur is soft and silky with tortoise-shell highlights. My favorite activity is sitting on windowsills watching the native birds fly about and listening to their songs. I've never seen birds as handsome as you, however.

My two-legged companions (there are six) put me in a harness attached to a long clothesline when I am outside, but, Houdini-like, I have escaped several times. When outside I enjoy sitting and watching the world go by. It is most fun when hiding under a bush. Unseen, I can see how other creatures really behave. Sometimes one of my two-legged companions will take me for a walk. I will walk a bit, especially in shady areas, but when I sit down to observe more closely, she always picks me up and carries me. I am glad to be carried when noisy things with four round legs go by. They are so big, and could cause damage to lil ol' me, I think. The youngest of my two-legged housemates sometimes naps in the afternoon, like I like to do. When she does so I try to keep her company. We lay side-by-side on her bed. She is nice and toasty.

I'm afraid my diet differs from yours -- two bowls of nutritionally-sound kibble and fresh water daily. It does get a tad boring. A little variety would be welcome.

I'd like to meet you all in person. Perhaps we could arrange a time and place to rendezvous? Perhaps for dinner? Let me know.

Love,
Furby
