Oh, this is so exciting! Good luck with convincing your parents Jessica...Show 'em your stuff! Impress them with your initiative and responsible attitude to pet ownership with examples -("Observe exhibit 'A', Jordan, displaying impeccable manners and a winning smile! And here is Exhibit 'B'! Take note of Tiki's charming and friendly manner....." )

Have them jumping through hoops!
Coincidentally, I'm getting a little tiel buddy for my Lachie next weekend (for my birthday...sweet sixteen ), so our two new arrivals can be baby buddies! I'm not sure what colour I'm getting yet though...maybe a recessive silver, or a lutino (Popcorn is soooo sweet, Popcornbird!). I'm going to meet them next Friday.
