Oh boy... I is in trouble now!
Ok... quick replay of how I got these guys...
My little Tequila was gone... so I went to the flea market on Sunday with my mother and daughter. (My kid stays at her house in the summer. It is about 6 miles away and has a 10ft deep pool with diving board and slide... I cannot even BEGIN to compete with that. Downside... I see my kid a lot less in the summer. Or was that the upside... I forget! LOL)
Guy there heard us talking and wanted to know if we wanted some birds. He had conures... "one with a blue head and one with some red on it".
I called him on Tuesday (figured looking never hurts. Was planning on MAYBE taking what I assumed would be a BCC.) We (my daughter and I) drove all the way out and I HAD to get the birds. Granted, from the pictures I saw after the fact... they had roomy cages at home and a few toys (I admit I go overboard... one step shy of "crowding" the cage. I think it is latent guilt over a bad childhood and having to leave them while I go to work each day.)
When we got there, we found a BCC in a travel cage made for a small rabbit. The carrier was sitting on top of a milk crate that was over a CherryHead/Mitered (no way to tell that I know of as it is supposely only a year old) that was sitting on the cold tile floor!
The guy told me how mean and viscious they were. At wich point my 4'8" daughter (RexysMom) immediate ly went over, uncovered, and picked up the CHC! I got the BCC out... only to find out he was fully flighted and a chase insued. Once caught, the BCC snuggled up against my chest and tried to take a nap! The CHC was busy purring to my daughter and pinning his eyes for all he was worth!
We gave the guy $125 in cash and a $125 check and left.
