hee hee Zippy!!!!

Logan....I am SOOOOO jealous!! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE birds! Especially cockatiels! They are the GREATEST birds...you and Helen are going to be in love with Roger (I almost called him Ralph!). When I moved out to get married, my mom gave me her parrot cage so that I could get a bird. Well, Noah came along and did this:


I think the poor thing would die of a heart attack!

By the way, they are VERY frail creatures when it comes to that. Just think of them as a really frail/ill person, someone who can't handle drafts (at all) or any sudden outbursts. They are known (just like bunnies) to have heart attacks with out any notice.

They are such a JOY! I look forward to hearing all about Helen's new buddy! That is SO cool that they have bonded so quickly. Cockatiels tend to bond to certain people and they are like most animals, very perceptive to the character of people. Our bird was "Murphy" (after Murphy Brown...mom liked that show) although he was a boy. He would chirp and sing when he heard mine and/or my mom's car coming down the road...he'd be so happy we were home, but he only did that to us...until my hubby came into the picture and he would love it when David came over. Too cute!!
