Hi everyone!! I'm a new member and wanted to introduce myself and say" hi!.
My name is Peg and I'm from Pickerington OH. We're smallish community outside of Columbus.
We currently have one bird, a young Sun Conure named Spezi (pronounced Spet-zi) and have a second bird on the way, he/she is an Umbrella Cockatoo.
We anticipate she will be coming home about Feb or March, whenever she's fully weaned.
I love animals, almost all of them but I'm not partial to reptiles. I've had some interesting pets such as a African Pygmy Hedgehog but have only had experience with one bird before we got the Conure and that was a Budgie named "Jevin." Unfortunately Jevin passed away a short while ago from Congestive Heart Failure. It was devastating but we learned so much from that bird about love and how great birds are as pets.
I've been researching Cockatoos for over a year but only recently felt I had enough information to make a decision about whether or not to go forward and bring one into our life. I'm retired and home all the time so we'll have plenty of time together and quite frankly I'm so looking forward to spending time teaching her and working with her. I know she'll keep me busy and she'll be good company. My husband works from home so he'll be here as well. The only other person in the house is our daughter who is 16. She'll be leaving for college fall of 2018. We do have 2 Shih Days but they don't post much attention to the bird.
I look forward to reading all the good information that you saged bird owners have to offer. I know that there is still much to learn and we want to get it right and give our bird great lives.
Thank you for allowing us to be a part of your community.
