Maybe it's the wine but I'm feeling a bit sentimental tonight, and I've never fully said this. Looking over at Parker I realize how far he has come since I've gotten him and I owe it all to you guys.

I came with some small bird care experience (no bigger than a conure) but very rusty. Taking on a bigger bird, On top of taking on a case like Parker and his barbering really threw me into a situation with a very high learning curve. Because of your help and support, and shoulder on more than one occasion, we smashed that learning curve and Parker couldn't possibly have landed in a better home.

From Parker and myself to you all, THANK YOU!!!!! This is a fantastic community and I couldn't have landed in a better place.

Chris, thanks for the kind words! More than that, thank you so much for sharing your journey with Parker from the beginning. It's been a pleasure to watch your handsome boy thrive in your care. You've worked so hard to give him the wonderful new life he deserves, it shows, Parker looks magnificent. I'm looking forward to watching more of Parker's touching success story unfold.

Wine or no wine, Chris, posts such as this are MUCH appreciated! :)

Being a parront is a continuous learning progress IMO. You have shown and demonstrated 100% dedication and love for Parker, from the day he came into your life. :heart:

Parker is a lucky boy to have been taken in by such a caring person and you are equally as lucky to have found him! You are doing GREAT with him!

Chris you have contributed so much yourself. When I got Venus, I knew my biggest problem would probably be diet so I focused on that and people on this forum helped SO much. When you started sharing your work and insight with Parker like your lab results and thoughts, that was HUGE for Venus and I. My point, you are a a very valuable member of this group.

One of my favorite memories you've shared is you and Parker playing "Honk!!!", lol!!! You've shared great stuff and been there for us too, thank you.
