Introducing myself and Amadeus

[cardinalMom]

Hello everyone,

I hope to visit and get advice here frequently. My name is Samantha and I live in Germany with my husband, baby daughter and two guinea pigs. I am from the United States and had the good fortune of growing up in Wisconsin where cardinals were frequent visitors in our backyard.

My family and I just adopted a cardinal who we have named Amadeus. Amadeus was born in captivity, and while he was well cared in a pet store, it still was no place for such a gorgeous creature.

He is settling nicely into his new outdoor aviary and surroundings. I love having him here, he is a wonderful reminder of home and I hope that the old wise tale about cardinals being the spirit of passed loved ones in true.

Thank you for all the advice I have been given thus far.

Beautiful bird.

I have heard that Native Americans have many stories and legends about " Red Bird"

Congratulations Samantha! I remember you from earlier posts in the "Other" Forum. For those interested in the backstory of Amadeus, check this link: http://www.parrotforums.com/others/84393-cardinal-domestic-pet.html

Welcome Samantha and Amadeus! Cardinals are one of my favorite of wild birds. Like Scott,I have many in the woods behind the house. Nothing is prettier than seeing a couple males in freshly fallen snow,feeding under the bird feeders!
