New Family Member
...A feathered one, though. :)
Hubby and I have been talking for years about getting a parrot but we decided to wait a bit given the number of pets in the family.
Given that in the last couple of years we lost Shadow and Mithril we decided that we had no reason to wait anymore. We read a lot, started thinking about cockatiels, moved over to quakers, went to a couple of bird shows...
And yesterday Puck found us at a 'bird day' in a local shop and came home with us.
He is a locally born, hand-raised White-fronted Amazon, 9 weeks old, ten minutes after arriving home he was eating from our hands and exploring is cage, quite a bit of stretching and beak grinding ensued. :)
He's lively, bold and curious, we are smitten already and really looking forward to our adventures together.
