Trees Grow Rings, Birds Loses Stripes.

If a tree is cut down and you want to know how old the tree is, just look at the stump and count the rings. Each ring is equal to one year.

However on parakeets also called budgies or lovebirds  on top of their heads they lose one stripe a year.

When a parakeet tries to bite a human they can only scrape; No, it doesn't hurt. Parrots however can draw blood. 

Male parakeets have a blue cere and female parakeets have a brownish-tan cere.

Below is a video of a male parakeet imitating the Star Wars robot R2D2:

Below is another video o how to tell a male parakeets from from female parakeets:

Birds have hollow bones and no sweat glands but they still can get too hot, and since parakeets are tropical birds keep them away from drafts.

Now in the 1970's Anne Murray recorded a song titled "Snowbird" but it is not about a bird at all. Snowbirds in this case means people who rather live in higher latitudes like northern U.S.A and Canada.

On the flip side of the Snowbird there was a song titled "Just Biding My Time" a song that Capital records wanted to sell but the majority of people liked "Snowbird" better.

Even this year, an actress  traveled  to Canada to tape "Between"  a science fiction series for Netflix. Like it or not that person is classified as a  snowbird. :)

The song "Snowbird" is below genre country:
