Amy a Blue Front 'Zon
Jonesy a Goffins 'Too who had to be rehomed :-(
And a Normal Grey Cockatiel named BB who came home with me on 5/20/2016.
....please! 
Gorgeous day yesterday! So my little green friend and I did some errands.
Town Hall to pay electric/water..visit her buddies the green armed Bee Bee's...the donut factory for her own plain munchkin..
It was a perfect day..I could just tell how she had such a great time. She refused to sit on her Salty Perch in the car,wanting to be on my shoulder in the car. Again she was preening my beard,rubbing her beaky on my cheek gently,making sweet soft Amazon noises in my ear and playfully trying to remove my sun glasses as I chauffeured her around. She was bright eyed and alert,looking out the window as we drove around.
Even met two ladies on a bench sitting outside the Town Hall and she stepped right up on the younger ones hand ( the others daughter I believe) and even lowered her head to accept head skritches...I was soooo proud of her!
When we got to the pet store they had a lot more birdies then usual..a 6 month old CAG that was sooo dang friendly (better be,for $3500!)
that stepped up on one of my arms while Amy just looked at her/him inquisitively and actually said HELLO! ( I think she thought it was Smokes lol)
So Amy needed her nails done. They do it for free for her. The young girl who takes care of the birdies has a lot of experience,saying she is owned by nine different fids. When I told her about the last time we were there,and her very young assistant whom I believe was intimidated by Amys' size,was hesitant on hold Amy. So she said she would hold Amy while the "manager" did the clipping. I SHOULD HAVE HELD AMY WHILE SHE DID THE CLIPPING!! not once...not twice...but THREE times he clipper her tootsies too short and drew blood.
When we got to the donut factory ( just down the street) that poor bird sounded like she was CRYING and was holding her foot up in the air. I was wearing a real soft sweatshirt and she wouldn't even put her foot down on that! God I was so friggin' angry..more so at myself coz I said I'd never let those people groom her again and I let it happen.
When we got home,I immediately called the store and talked with the girl and gave her holy heck Just to save a couple bucks, I ruined a beautiful day for her..what a putz I am..:02:
BTW Amy is fine now..but crud..I feel like do-do for ruining her day..sighhhh.
