The sun is shining, the birds are chirping... (PIC HEAVY)

[Kiwibird]

The sun is shining, the birds are chirping, that strange green one is honking and is thrilled with the return of the sun and his friends down at the lake Today was actually warm enough to head down there for a while and boy was he ever happy to be out and about again! All his "friends" came over to say hi and he got some attention from some random humans too. After being cooped up all winter long, today was a glorious experiencer for the little green creature!

Here are some of his buddies, they are really cute and not aggressive at all (I have been to some lakes where they had killer ducks but these ones are nice and don't bother you). Kiwi likes to make his goose honk at them:

Having fun taking selfies in the sun with his mommy:

The ATTITUDE:

The gratitude:

(Yes, like every 17 year old boy, he must ALWAYS use his tongue when he gives you a kiss lol)

The joyful contentment of basking in the sun after a long, cloudy Portland winter:

While Kiwi was overjoyed, this was more my reaction to the sun being out after the winter

I'm glad you guys had a good time, and these weren't the 'killer' variety of ducks! The expression on Kiwi's face in the last pic says it all .

That video is funny. I'm NOT looking forward to the HOT SoCal sun this summer!!!

You let Amy know Kiwi says she needs to kiss her daddy:10: Human like kisses like birds like treats and it's how a bird rewards their human for good behavior
