So, I took the day off today to run some errands at the college. The college of course is not far from the Bird Store, so I decided to treat myself and go play for a bit and pick up some food and toys for the fids.

FIRST, I fell in love with this teeny weanie little Green Male Pacific Parrotlet. He was soooo friendly and fiesty.

THEN, I saw that he was in the same bin as two teeny Green Cheek Conures who were almost completley naked with pins just starting to come in. They were making those baby noises and when I put my hand out and one of them rubbed its beak on me, then grabbed my finger and started bobbing, my hand went straing to my wallet.

I spent the next 45 minuites deciding between the conure and parrotlet.

I rationalized that I have space for a smaller bird, I;ve just been waiting to get another big one in the future... blah blah blah....

and finally a split second bout of sanity came over me and I ran like the wind.

BUT OMG HOW CUTE!!!!


Close call guys, close call......

Better to shop online it's safer, but good thing you decided to run!

Josh? MBS? Noooo.....

I told you, call your cc company and ask for a raise in your credit line!!

Oh dear - you should not be allowed to venture to the bird store alone!

Well, I've been ok latley, but today I dont know what kind of mood I was in, but it was like a candy store.....

I saw the Catalinas and I drooled, then some red lores and my heart started to beat, then I watched all the budgeies and finches fluttereing around gracefully like little acrobats. Then the quakers, the ringies, a male eclectus told me to have a nice day....

I mustve fell in love 70 times today

For sure. If there were any around I could never trust myself. Online shopping is the only (semi) safe alternative for me.

What are we gonna do with you???????????

Josh, what bird store do you frequent? Is it Bird Jungle? That's where I go to buy toys, and they have darling birds in there including a Hyacinth, who's been there for months, because no one has coughed up the money for it yet.

But you know, to dampen your desires a bit, I think any bird that still hasn't grown its feathers, was probably taken away from its parents way to early and is not even close to weaned yet. Correct me, those of you who breed or know more, if I am wrong.

Josh Josh Josh.....leave the credit cards at home hun....you poor thing.....you don't have anymore space. But...that being said...I'd be happy to take Jewel off your hands...that'd free up a corner! LOL.....

Quick - go back. They are probably still there!
