Birds in Brussels

Brussels – lunch at Tea & Eat and overpriced boutiques on Avenue Louise. I picked the wrong days for this trip, as the dollar is at an 8-month low against the Euro. Budgie birds (pictured) who were scared of me in a cage outside a florist’s shop just off Avenue Louise at Stephanie Square. They seemed to be doing OK despite the chilly weather, although they were a little alarmed when I stuck my cell phone up to the cage and snapped a picture - I wasn't able to catch them cuddling because they were startled by my presence.
