Left Part of My Heart at Petsmart

[spiritbird]

I know most of you can understand how you walk into a pet store to get a small item and get truly blown over by one or even two of the birds. This is the store where I will be working the first Sat. in Nov. They have an unbelievable Sun Conure there. His or her name is Nemo as named by the staff. The front of the very large enclosure is open metal so you can talk and interact with the bird. This bird loves people and truly responds to any signs of loving her. I played with Nemo for a while and it loves to do those little loves nips on your skin and fingernails are a favorite. If you walk away that is when you will hear the piercing call from Nemo to come back. The bird keeper said this is by far the sweetest Sun they have ever had in the store. Knowing I could never take her home they let me interact with her behind her cage. She steps up readily and give you a big smooch and then starts to taste you skin. She does not even fly away! Someone is going to get a wonderful conure.:th_heart:

He or She sounds adorable Dianne. Maybe they will let you take a pic?

[spiritbird]

I was thinking that also.

[Honesty]

I was thinking that also.Look forward to it if you are able to take one :)

[Blancaej]

She/he sounds like an absolute sweetheart! Hopefully she will find a great forever home! :)

I think the people at this store would only sell her to good people.

I find conures such "People Birds" [they love your attention ] Such little beggers ;)

[spiritbird]

They are needy for human attention for sure. These kind of birds are very good for a person who is home most of the time. Conures usually will not thrive alone for long periods of time. Will take my camera this weekend and see if I can grab a photo.

[Pinkbirdy]

You can work full time [and their fine]. You just need to have their time out with you consistent.

I returned to Petsmart with camera in hand for a photo of Nimo. Good news is that this bird was sold to a wonderful, caring bird family. The bad news is that there will be no photo.

Bummer! But I am so happy little Nemo found a home! :th_biggrin:
