Part of my menagerie at home includes an African Grey called 'Alfie', a Sun Conure called 'Squigger' and a Cockatoo called 'Baby'. They are part of our family and I am honoured to be part of their life, they make me laugh when I'm down and cause me endless amounts of grief, especially Alfie who tries to steal my paint brushes when I'm working. I cannot imagine my life without them. Birds are special to me and this room is dedicated to all things feathered.

Again some of these images are available for sale at www.minigalleryworld.com/Laura_Cooper/ .



This is Squigger our pet Sun Conure, this painting was a gift for my partner John. She loves cuddles and likes to make 'squig' noises hence the name. I have included the photograph I took of Squigger to create this painting below.
