On the way home from visiting Grandma, we stopped by the pet store and HARLIE IS STILL THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you remember one of my previous posts, a woman was supposed to go in today and more likely purchase him. I HOPE they changed their minds I told Harlie over and over that I AM HIS MAMA and he should bite anyone else that tries to hold him ...besides Joe....until we can bring him home



I spent a good hour loving and scritching on him until he had enough and wanted back to his tree. he lets me put my whole hand around his chest and scratch, as well as on his back, under his wingies *love love love* He is so trusting of me. When I put him back on his tree and went to play with the BT's & B&G's...I kept turning around to check on him and he was at the top and kept blinking at me and always had one eye on me. I think it's mutual love!

This bird owns my heart. I'm just going to TRY to not get my hopes up. I keep hinting to Joe that the perfect Valentine's Day present would be if he told me I could bring Harlie home. I said I'd move the book case out and fit his cage there for now He just rolled his eyes at me!

I'm trying not to get my hopes up about Harlie because I don't want to have my heart broken again if he sells before we can purchase him....................

Oh Wow - that's tough - hope it all works out.

I'd be real worried about the 'hopes' bit - I think you are already in trouble.

I told you...get rid of the couch.

*whispers* I'm in WAAAY over my head

I don't know about getting rid of the couch, that's basically Joe's home

But a Harlie cage would definitely fit where my book case is......there's a good 6' of wall there

Oh, you poor, poor, dear!

Awww... you gotta smuggle him home, will he fit in your jacket?

Missi,
I can feel your love all the way up north here! Maybe dumb but could you buy this wonderfull bird and maybe place it with a CLOSE friend till you get your place.It sounds to me like this Macaw going anywhere but in your arms would just about kill ya I know the feelings you are feeling very well and you have to come up with something .There just has to be a way for the 2 of you to be together I know if I lived in Florida I would think about offering to help ya

Yes, it would kill me. I visited him again today as well. I was holding him and walking around the store singing "If you're Harlie and you know it, gimme kiss" *to the tune of If you're happy and you know it clap your hands* and he was bobbing up and down dancing

I thought about asking my closest local parrot loving friend to take him in til we moved, but I'm worried it might change his personality Plus, I don't think anyone has room for another Macaw cage in their home

Awww Thank you

At the least, I hope he's unsold until we move....I don't have to HAVE him now, just to know no one will buy him....
