Lord I donโ€™t even remember, first time I posted was maybe 2007, probably googled โ€œparrot forumโ€ to ask the dreaded โ€œwhat bird is best for me? Must be quiet and like everyoneโ€ question.

Came back 7 years later after I got my Ekkie.

I asked some parrot question on google and got linked to a thread with whatever topic I had asked. i liked the format, and I was really impressed with how supportive and non-judgmental everyone was. i had been a a breed specific dog site-whew! Those folks could be awful! It wasnโ€™t a helpful environment, nor informative as I was apprehensive to ask a question and get their standard condescending pate answer โ€œyour dog doesnโ€™t get enough exercise/doesnโ€™t respect you/ you suck. Yeah. No thanks
Thank you Parrot Forums!!! This has been just a gold mine of help

I canNOT remember, truly! It just seems like forever.
And what a blessing.
When I brought the Rb home in 1984, sources of support and information were scarce and scattered, let me tell you!
I love this place.

I discovered internet forums when I bought a .... project car (VW TDI).
I joined a forum for diesel VW's to get some answers to my problem child.

I guess I decided to see if there were internet forums for parrots.
The rest is history.

I was just doing some research and I found this forum so I asked mom if I can join and she said yes.


I read some posts here long before joining. I think the very first forum I found was AA, but I like this forum better.

I also Googled forums for parrots, and found several. I checked out a few others without joining, but there was so much judgement that I didn't want to join. Then I came here and joined the same day because everyone was so supportive.
I love the members here and all the knowledge and understanding that everyone shares.

Googled parrot health issues during a time of need August 2010. Liked the vibe and joined, subsequently took a few years hiatus. Returned in earnest, still one of my favorite cyber hangouts!
