Such beautiful birdies. I love this thread. Thanks for starting it johnmat.
Pritti was hatched 30 years ago, August 4th, 1992 and has brought joy

to my family for all 30 years, and I've been his mom for the past 20 years. He's a cherry-headed conure (red-masked conure), was purchased from a pet store in Queens, New York, had a band on foot way back then. He was DNA tested about 15 years ago and has received excellent medical care (through some scary times) by the amazing Daryl Backos, ABVP Certified Avian Vet in Deerfield Beach, FL.
He's snuggly, bossy, in charge of the house all too often, funny, cute, finicky, loving, and a rather independent, courageous boy. Even at 30, he's still my baby.
