Oh hai, u like fethers?

By Laurie

The past few months have been calm and collect. Spring is here and that makes me a happier person. Tons to do around the house, because of this. I have to figure out how to plant things. CRAZY. Nothing terribly new is going on, really. Today is “birthday week” and we’ll be celebrating Kris’ birthday this weekend ala pizza and cake with some presents on the side. She’s spending today(her birthday) with her cousins, doing who knows what.

There’s a new man in my life! I met him in January and he’s very charming. He can be a bit opinionated, but he’s also sweet and somewhat cuddly. We talk a lot and he seems to really like me! I think he misses me when I’m not around and often calls me. Sometimes we have breakfast together, too!

Hee! Bruce is a trip, he’s going to be a pain when he hits puberty, I just know it. :P I didn’t plan to get a cockatiel at all - we had one when I was a kid, so I’m familiar with them. I was browsing our pet store back in January and was saying hello to the ‘tiels and this one boy was just totally adamant that he was going to fly out of the aquarium(they keep the almost weaned babies in one for display) and go home with me. I later picked him up when he was weaned and he’s my new buddy. He can get pretty loud sometimes when he wants me to be around and I’m not. He’s kind of an “air-raid siren”, heh, heh.

Bruce will hopefully be joined by another baby boy in the next few months. A baby boy I’ve been looking for for a few years now. I started studying them some time ago in hopes to learn more about them, and I think he’ll be a good fit. I found an amazing breeder in California and her assistant has been a huge help! I’ll post more later when I can!
