Popcornbird, that's it for photos for now. I have a couple more of him similar to the one I posted last but that was the best one. I will answer some of your questions now since I forgot to before. He and our cat Sam are our only pets. We just wanted one bird so he would learn to talk more hopefully, my husband had single parakeets twice during his childhood so he was experienced with them. The bird does love to chat with the wild birds outside and gets so excited when he does.
Your Muffin bird sounds so cute! Like she was getting ready for a big date and was running a little late. Last weekend I went to our new Petco and visited the birds. I can't believe how big the cockatiels are compared to the parakeets and the price tags were a big difference too.($110.00 compared to $19.99) But then I guess bigger birds live longer so are a bigger investment of time and money.
