My very favorite picture I've ever taken of Luna.

I have a cheesy macro setting on my cheesy little camera, and it rarely works well (has a hard time focusing even on the macro setting)...But I love this one! This photo pretty much sums up her personality for me in one shot. : )

Thank you, thank you! Luna is extremely sweet, inquisitive, and intelligent. She is oddly affectionate for a grey-She loves head rubs and kisses. When she hears something that interests her, she leans in for a closer look, just like she's doing here. She's definitely the snuggly bird of the group, which is something I never would have expected from a grey.

Every time I see... Luna... I want to yell,

"Haaku!"

That was the name of both of our AGs (Haaku 1 & Haaku 2).

I will admit that I loved Haaku 1 much more than Haaku 2. For even though H 1 bit me and caused me to forever fear birds, for H 2 was a mean SOB.

Long story short, Luna makes me HappySad.

I'm not surprised about that at all. Haaku 1 was really "snuggly" (I guess). He would stick his head out for head rubs from my father and nibble his fingers (or earlobes if he was on his shoulder).

However, Haaku 2 would do no such thing. We took him in when some friends/acquaintances had to leave (I believe) and he was just foul tempered.
