Sorry if this thread has been done before, but, just wondering--What sparked your love for birds? For me, it was that I grew up around them and have looked at them as intelligent, fun, cute little animal friends. They're fun to hang with. I remember when I used to have my cockatiel Cedric, I was in about 3rd or 4th grade and whenever I'd do homework, he'd come and walk all over my paper, back and forth, and start trying to nibble at it, or he'd come and land on my head when I'd be talking to someone.
