Back
when I only owned two budgies, I decided that I wanted to own a bigger
bird. So my parents said that I could get a conure. I started searching
through all the bird ads on Craigslist and Petfinder. One day, when I checked
Craigslist for probably the 10th time that day, I saw an ad for a Pineapple
Green Cheek Conure. So I clicked on it, and saw the beautiful bird. I had my
mom email the woman that was selling her, and they chatted back and forth for
awhile (with me reading over my mom's shoulder). Finally, they came to an
agreement, and it was decided that the little conure would be mine! I was
over the moon.
Fast forward to Wednesday, December 22nd 2010. After my mom had come home
from work, her and my dad left to pick up the new bird. I was left at home
with my aunt, and could hardly wait to meet my new birdie. About two hours
later, my parents arrived home and walked into the house with a small
cardboard box in their hands. I quickly took the box, and went off to my
room, followed by my mother and sister. I opened the box, and looked in at
the little bird. It was love at first sight. Her name was Peatree, and she
was just the cutest little thing. My dad brought her cage in, and it shocked
me a little. Her cage was a good size, but in it, was one toy, some baby
links, a cuttle bone, and two skinny dowel perches. I put her in her cage,
and watched her try and perch on the dowels. I was horrified by how they
rocked back and forth as she perched on them. So I promptly went and stole
one of the budgies branch perches, and stuck it in her cage. I got her more
toys later that week.
Peatree was scared for a while. She liked to sit on my shoulder, but she
didn't like to step up unless she fell on the floor. But I worked with her,
and we soon became good friends. Today, Peatree and I are inseparable. We are
so bonded. She doesn't like other people, and will bite them if they ask her
to step up!
Peatree likes to go places with me. I take her to the craft store, pet store,
dollar store ... we go to the park and out for ice cream. Her favorite flavor
is vanilla/strawberry swirl! LOL! People are always shocked to see a bird,
and always ask me if she is real, and then if she can talk. They always want
to hold her too, but I don't allow them to.
Peatree says a few things. She can say her name, mommy, cookie, pretty bird,
and no. I've also heard her mumble other things. She can make kissy noises,
and laugh. Her laugh is so cute!
She also loves to dance. She will dance to almost anything, but her favorite
song is "Elmo's World." I also have a special song for her, "Go Peatree!" She
is a good girl, and I love her to pieces!
