Parrot Confidential.

[WorseBeforeBetter]

1. I watched it earlier.

So sad, but kudos to the people trying to help. I actually cried at the end... go Lou!

2. I have it set to record later this week.

Although I love the three parrots who share my home I don't recommend having one as a companion pet. My 3 were are captive born. I worry about who will love them after I'm gone.

3. My parents have three as well

including a Patagonian mackaw.

They will come to live with us if the unfortunate were to happen.

You could rehome them with us! They would be in good company.

Related, your place must be noisey! I'm always amazed at my parents' aviary situation when we visit. They converted their dining room into the habitat for their feathered friends. It's comical and entertaining to watch, actually.

5. My baby is a Blue and Gold Macaw. Miss Frodo whispers You're ok.

She was hatched in early in 2001. She enjoys her freedom whenever I'm home. She wants some of everything I eat or drink. Yes, she's very spoiled.
Pookie was a rescue Lesser Sulfur Crested Cockatoo. She's the difficult one as she seems to dislike most women. She has earned the name can opener with wings. She will bite.
Chloe is staying with us while her owner is off driving a truck. She may have a home.

At this time we also have 12 Diamond Doves.

You and I should keep in touch.
I don't see needing a home anytime soon but that would take a huge worry off my mind. Thanks for your offer.


Isn't the Patagonian one of the ones disappearing from the wild?

[Earth_First]

8. I believe you are correct.

Three of the four birds (including the Patagonian) are rescues from previous owners whose ambitions exceeded the realities of how big, loud, and expensive it iis to keep these creatures happy.

My parents are really blessed with affection that they offer. There is one in particular, Luna who I would have apprehensions to adjusting with. She is fiercely territorial against men in general. My father has been attacked twice. At any rate.

Do keep in touch regardless. My parents know an extremely well-knit community of compassionate captive birders in the event that something were needed.

Have a great day, ITW!

7. Thanks so much, I'll set my receiver to record it!

[B Calm]

9. Well my PBS station is not showing it, but I'll keep my eyes open

for it to come on in the future.

10. I every channel differs.

There are 3 PBS stations in the DC area, so we'll have a good choice. AND, they rerun them whenever.
