Another new member- Hello =)

[RaeBeas]

Hi everyone! I just joined tonight, and wanted to introduce myself. My name is Rachel, and I live in Kansas City, Missouri. I work for a Veterinary clinic as a veterinarian assistant. I am currently in school to become a Registered Veterinary Technician.

At the moment I have three birds: A cockatiel named Pete, a Budgie named Chipper, and a Zebra Finch named Phillip. On Saturday I will be taking in a Timneh African Grey named Kayla. I am both excited and anxious to see how it works out.

I also have a Canaan/ Elkhound mix dog named Maggie, and three cats: Alice, Minnow, and Earl.

I look forward to exploring the forums and talking with other bird people!

Welcome Rachel, to a wonderful forum. Love your career choice. You have a zoo there, and a new member joining you soon, how do you do it.
Let me warn you, all us members are not normal, we are all totally bird crazy
people.
One big happy family, sharing all the joys and sorrows with one another, being there not matter what.
We love sharing pictures, so get moving girl !!!!!!

Thank you all! The clinic I work at is not an Avian Vet unfortunately. However we have helped birds before, in fact we had one in today for a beak and nail trim. I would love to one day work for an Avian Vet though!

Don't worry, I too, am crazy for the birds! :09: I have one on my shoulder as I type this. I am a junkie for pictures as well :54: so I attached a picture of Chipper, Phillip, and Pete.

Beautiful birds...your Chipper looks like my senior citizen (16 next month ) parakeet, Sky. Was it Pete on your shoulder? I've never had a Tiel but I fostered one for a year and that was one happy and busy bird!

 

[RaeBeas]

It sure was! Of course then Chipper joined in.
