I'm surprised they're not doing Houston this year. Just San Antonio and Ft. Worth. Usually it's all three... Spring and then fall.

Last time I went to one of these things I almost came home with a baby Blue Throat. Fortunately, I talked a friend of mine into buying it, and now I have visitation rights... and only occasional "vacation" parronting duty.:D

It's a very dangerous place... for someone like me.

Hopefully my numbers hit Friday night, so I can go nuts with impunity on Saturday.

Should we start taking bets on whether you'll go....and whether you'll be going home with a bundle of green (and red and blue)??? :54:

I'm only going to re-stock the toy aisle... my supplies are getting low.

No new birdies for me, especially if I'm taking on a foster M2...

If I could guarantee Zoe would get along with another BT or RFM I'd seriously consider it, but I'd be scared that I'd end up with two macs with a jealous streak and twice the work.

I know what you mean.

My RFM had major jealousy issues with that little blue throat... when we were hand feeding him.

Pick that one up, I had to pick the other one up. Then I had to pick the other two macaws up. Which left me with one on each shoulder, and one on each forearm.

I COULDN'T GET ANYTHING DONE!

And the BTM was a velcro/escape artist/boomerang bird. Set him down, he'd find a way to get out, and he'd come right back to you...

I am MUCH happier with JUST two macaws...

I went today, and I did play with the baby eckie. He's very sweet.

But the only bird I really fell in love with was a baby greenwing.

They had a few cool things, but it was all pretty pricey. I was kinda disappointed.

I did get one really good score... One of the high end java trees - the expensive suckers -
HALF PRICE!!! Maggie's big stand on its last legs, so it was time for an upgrade. These friggin things retail for $330 these days... So half price brings it down to where it should be.

Maybe ill just drown my sorrows in some wine and take my birds to the beach (I just need to find someone to drive... hahaha)
