Thanks! I will certainly try to keep updating about her.
I would love to see more photos of Bonsai too.
Now that i think about it... that is a pretty interesting name for a parrot hehe

I went photo overhaul on that video I made of him a few weeks back. :P I have some others in the works for the future so no worries, there'll be more of Bonsai to be seen yet! :D

Ahh the name.. I read something about them being the smallest species of parrot.. and while looking for asian style names that meant things like "small" and "green" I came across Bonsai trees... it just worked so well! He's my Bonsai bird. XD

I love Kiwi and Lychee's names so much.. I am a big fan of names that "go together" lol. :)

that makes so much sense! XD

i got lychee first, and when i was trying to think of a name for him i knew i wanted it to be a type of fruit, but a unique one. "lychee" ended up being a pretty good name (in my humble opinion.. lol) since i learned that most people dont even know what a lychee is!
When i got Kiwi i thought "kiwi" was another unique awesome fruit name... but i learned that it was one of the most popular fruit-related parrot names..woops... hehe

It sounds like what I have. ;) I'm glad it's something treatable, though!

ah, were you the one that had to give up tiels(?) because you started having bad reactions to their dander? (sorry i have very bad memory..)
In the case with parrots, if a parrot gets this syndrome i believe there is no treatment right now. I think there are medications that will temporarily ease the breathing... but no definite cure :(

I'm the one was sensitive to the proteins in dried bird poop, but after moving to a new apartment that's not all gross and moldy, I'm not having any problems. So, the jury's still out on whether I can keep my birds, pending more tests.

It would be terrible for a bird to be sensitive to bird dander. That's seriously awful!

oh ok! i remember now :)
I am glad you stopped having the problems after you moved!

Yes, my first reaction was "what!? birds can be allergic to eachother???"
that would be really horrible... but there seems to be ways to prevent it such as keeping them in separate rooms, investing in air purifiers, vacuuming & cleaning often, and keeping the rooms well ventilated.
