Sophie's first baby pictures More early pictures of Sophie Sophie, about 2 or 3 years old Sophie in the trash can!

Many warm thanks to Shirley Lawhorn, the award-winning owner and operator of Bignest Aviary who raised Sophie from a hatchling in 1995 and who favors us by being our birdsitter of choice when we need to leave Soph behind. Thanks also to Shirley for the picture of Sophie at the top of this page, which I took, and Shirley framed and used on her website, and which I borrowed back for use here.
