Not a skill that one acquires with age, but your son needs to know. Not only does he need to deal with losing his dad, he also has to consider changes that might be right in his life with a family history of a very young MI. Hang tough!

guess this means I will have to be extra nice to Magellan for a while, since we finally have one long tail feather!!

wow-what a beauty. Think my apt was about half that size in grad school <ROFL>; don't think I had better let the feathered ones see what paradise could be like!

what a cutie; I love the patriotic tail feathers!!

Wow....you are a lucky bird! My mom has real cats and she keeps leaning over to pet them, so I have to scurry off of her shoulder. Worse yet, they like to sit on the back of her recliner just like I do & she gets awfully worried about us sharing space. Suspect my first words may be "what a prett...

Congratulations!! (lots of excited twittering in the backgound may be faintly audible)

What a cutie! Stella is a lucky bird to have found you. Enjoy~~

what a cutie! Makes me feel better to see so many shots, as well. I was just thinking I had gone overboard with my 250+ photos from a one-week holiday..... but it is so hard to stop clicking with a digital, isn't it?

do your budgies actually eat the roses? Never thought to give mine any (though, on a tangent....turtles and tortoises LOVE to eat roses). Still have a few left outside......

and here I have the opposite worry..... I am going out of town & I have a couple of teenage girls who are taking care of my menagerie. They had to leave their birds behind when they moved here and are so thrilled to be able to play with mine. Suspect my "kids" will get a lot of attention when I ...

and just to make life more challenging, Magellan hates the sight of a broom -- only thing that makes him squawk and scold. Wish you could know what had happened to teach them these odd behaviors (he does not mind the vacuum, but everyone else hates it)

ah...but you forget I have everything from finches on up... and I am a firm believer in exceptions having spent my life as a not-at-all-dumb blonde! Cheers, MCS

there are some pretty smart cats out there <g> and some pretty dumb birds..... but I wouldn't give up any of either species!

What a great name--is she just a miracle in general, or is there a story behind it?

Congratulations on your new "kid"--you are end for all sorts of fun!!

what a lovely little lady!

Wow....someone with as many cages as I have (and much cleaner floors!)

what a doll! and up until now I thought the baby canaries were the cutest!

I wake up that way some days, but it is usually on Monday morning, not Sunday <vbg>

Definitely not ruined --- they are far too smart to burn their bridges <g>. Suspect the best remedy is the "tincture of time", as one of my colleagues used to prescribe, and lots of patience. We are rooting for you!

Will s/he sit on a perch you are holding.... is it just human fingers that don't seem interesting? Maybe hands have not always been friends?

All my birds live in the great room, so they get as little sleep as I do (except they can go back to sleep after I go to work if it is still dark). Canaries go to sleep on their own about 8 pm, everyone else slowly nods off until about 10 pm (despite TV, lights, etc), with only the budgies still rai...

what a cutie!

m Hopefully that will take you to a photo of Magellan! He/she is the latest addition; from her behavior, I think she was handled a lot or hand reared, but not trained all the way (or may have been loose for a while, you will note her embarassing lack of nice long tail feathers). Friend rescued her f...
