disturbing truth :(

See, just another thing why I am an odd ball. Jody has been with me the longest, I picked her up the day after the San Francisco earthquake in '89. Kalea I have had for the past 8 wonderful years. Now Donovan will be here 2 years on April 5th and he isn't going anywhere.

You're not an oddball, Renee'! You are a great person taking responsibility!

Ah, gee-wise (blushing) that is nice of you to say

That number does not surprise me one bit . the amount of people on the eckie sites I'm on are forever saying I can't handle the noise there new eckie is making or he/she just keeps biting I'm going to have to rehome the bird . it makes me so mad these people have no idea how to take care of there bird and in the beginning they didn't do there research.

I think it's lack of common knowledge. Just the other day, my grandmother asked me, "So, what do you feed your birds? Seed?" I explained to her seed mixes are apart of my birds' diet, but would never, ever be the only thing. I went on to tell her a bit about proper feeding of parrots, and she had no idea. A lot of people tend to assume things about parrots that just aren't true or only partially true. I think and hope that as time goes on, information will spread and people will have a better idea of what they are getting into before bringing home a bird.
