I have grown always having a bird. I was given an umbrella cockatoo when I was home with my young kids. Well that was a big learning experience on both of our parts but in the end we bonded. I returned to work when the kids got older and my Cockatoo lost it. He pulled every feather he could out stop eating and just I was such an idiot I didn't realize it was me. I rehomed him because I wanted him to live and it broke my heart. That was years ago and I haven't had a bird since except chickens. My daughter bought me this little guy from where she worked he was really in bad shape and I said I would try my best. After awhile he started growing his feathers back and showing signs of life. He was so beautiful and I found out he was a Lady Gouilan. He was given to me and my daughter later bought him some friends. Well three chicks later (oops not a male) It was amazing how they all started out green and molted into different colors. Yes I'm hooked, then we just got a parrotlet. I do plan on getting another large parrot again the time is right I'm home all day. I need to fine another lost soul like me. I am rambling but I'm exited to be here I really want to read your posts and having all your experience available to me ..Thank you

Hello and welcome to the forums! An Umbrella Too may not have been the ideal introduction to life with parrots but it sounds like you're really enjoying your current feathered friends. We'd love to see pics. Browsing the species specific forums would be a great way to research for your bigger bird.

RIP Gandalf and Big Bird, you are missed.
Welcome aboard, thanks for a poignant introduction.

Seems your attraction to birds is lifelong, and at some point you will find yet another companion.
