It has been a year! ONLY a year!!!

I joined this forum a year ago asking advice about getting a little sad gcc out of Petsmart misery... We had pet rats then and just went to pick up some supplies for them, when my hubby found a little sad dirty green bird sitting in the corner of the cage and staring at the wall. We both couldn't sleep that night, and around 2am he asked me - hey shouldn't we get this poor bird - I'm so sorry for it that I can't sleep. Next day I wrote to this forum and got an overwhelming support in my decision to bring little Parry home.
I didn't know what I was getting myself into! Getting bitten by a bird bug changed my life forever. I cannot believe it was just a year - I feel like I was going to a "bird school" for several years. When you want to learn you learn! LOL
Anyway, just wanted to thank everyone for support - Im so glad to be a part of this forum! I'm a happy bird momma, and I love my little fids to bits!!! For me a house is not a home without bird chirping in it!

Awwwwwww, what a sweet story! I remember when you got Parry! And look at you now, with all those other birds too! Like you, I have learned so much from this forum, I am addicted to it, lol.

I totally agree, a house is not a home unless there is at least one bird in it!

Celebrate every mile stone!

Awww, I hope this is the first of many years together for you and Parry.

Haha, I don't remember what my house sounded like with no birds.

Yep - parrots of all sizes & shapes - it's a disease.

There is no cure. We just have to learn to live with it...happily!

Just last night, my wife said "How did we ever manage without birds?!?" I told her that we were miserable, and just didn't know it. Now, we're happy...and broke!

Lol. I think you are so right. Funny enough, I was just telling someone today, I can not remember what made me decide to get a parrot almost six years ago, but boy oh boy, today I am so happy that I did. The way they enrich our lives is unexplainable to "Non-Bird-People". (NBP's. Is that a thing yet? Like MBS? Lol)

LOL, so true... we weren't less broke before I guess the money just goes to the right place now.
Parrots are so much joy indeed. Like this little Tesla running all over me right now, talking his own funny language and giving me kisses.
