A friend of ours was very interested in our lutino IRN, ChaCha. Everytime he came over he went to see the bird and talk to him. On a recent visit he discovered that ChaCha knew how to talk. Our friend was astounded. So much so that he asked me to take ChaCha out of his cage for a visit. Well, unbelievably the two of them hit it off like they were old buddies. ChaCha didn't even try to give him a testing chomp (which to date no one has escaped)! It seemed that the two of them were meant for each other. Due to some financial difficulties (and his screaming tantrums) it was mentioned to our friend that we were considering selling ChaCha. He said that if we definitely wanted to sell the bird he would take him. I didn't want to do it but the two of them seemed so drawn to each other it was almost a crime not to allow them to be together. Needless to say, ChaCha went to his new home today.
I miss ChaCha already. Although I know that our friend will spoil him and the fact that he lives alone will mean that he can provide ChaCha with his undivided attention. And I was sure to provide our friend with the address to this site so he could also have access to the great community of people here and their helpful advice.
Even though I no longer have ChaCha, I will continue to be a regular visitor so I can learn all I can and be better educated for my next IRN, which I will be sure to get as soon as we are in better circumstances.
