What a lovely picture. Thank you so much!

Beautiful picture. Surely from a recently fledged young, judging by its whitish, not yellow feathers

That's 200,000 pixels of cute right there. Wouldn't it (wooden tit?!) be great to be so light that you can fly and hang upside down on a plant stalk with complete impunity?

But it's a fraud, GS! It's not blue it's yellow! Can't you Photoshop it or something and make it a nice electric blue? C'mon! You know you want to! Parrotize it!
