>From Frank Mantlik 10/12  Elm St., North Haven - A PEACH-FACED LOVEBIRD has been visiting my in-laws feeders for 2-3 weeks. My wife Linda confirmed the ID on 10/12.  An obvious escaped pet, but still a pretty bird to see.

When I was young my dad found a peach-faced lovebird in our yard and we ending up taking it in before the start of cold weather and had it as a great pet for a number of years. He used to play "catch" with my cat. The cat would hit the super ball across the floor and the bird would land on it to make it move again for the cat to catch it. Bird adoption anyone?
