Doodle Bird Tiny Toadstool Terrarium

Doodle Bird Designs on Etsy is giving away her

Teeny Tiny Toadstool Terrarium

My name is Patricia Buzo, and I am owned by my perfect little feathered baby Nani – a Black Headed Caique parrot. I had owned my own mural painting business for 8 years. However, after a a shoulder injury I was no longer able to do large scale work and needed to come up with something new. After purchasing a small terrarium I decided to try making another, then another. Pretty soon I listed them here on Etsy and the rest is history. I thoroughly enjoy the great outdoors and working with live plants. I’m overjoyed that I have found something to be excited about once again. (and of course Nani loves to be outside with me as much as possible, she’s my little helper)

I can’t seem to stick to just one thing, so I invite you to check back often for new curiosities and creations I come up with.

Please visit my Doodle Bird Blog at http://caiqueclowns.blogspot.com/ to read about life with a Caique, including videos and photos of my silly bird!

One little note: The hummingbird is very special to us and I would like to share the story. For over 10 years we have had a pretty little hummingbird feeder in our yard, hanging from the Dogwood tree. We keep in filled with sweet nectar and red ribbons flowing from the bottom and still there were no hummingbirds. Kept the vigil going, but still no rapid winged beauties appeared. Well just about 3 years ago, my mother (Sue) who lived with us since we were married and who we cared for for over 10 years when she became basically bedridden passed away. Well you can imagine how distraught we all were and especially me. I didn’t know what to do to calm myself down, I prayed which of course helped so much but I made a secret wish, I asked my mother to send me a sign to let me know she was ok. Of course I would not ask something that was easily accomplished so I asked her to send me a hummingbird and that way I knew she was in a wonderful place. Well, I told NO ONE of this wish! Absolutely NO ONE. A week after she had passed, my husband and son were in the backyard and i heard these screams! MOM get out here, you have to see. I flew outside and there was a hummingbird fluttering at the feeder…FIRST TIME EVER! Can you imagine my delight and when I told the family they were in “happy tears”. So the hummingbird is so special to us all and I love to share this uplifting story with everyone…a little bit of hope goes a long way.
