Hi Everybody:
I'm a newbie from sunny southern Alberta. I live Coaldale, Alberta a small town of about 7,000 near Lethbridge. Coaldale is 65 miles north of the U.S. border, 60 miles east of the Canadian Rockies and 135 miles SE of Calgary, home of the world famous Calgary Stampede.
I acquired my first parrots in 1993 as rescues; two Indian ringneck parakeets. My count is now 13 hookbills ranging from parrotlets to an Umbrella too. Nine of the birds are rescues that I have kept. I still do some home-based rescue as part of a provincial network of rescuers, although at the moment I am taking a break, having done four rescues in 2006.
The "Sadie" in Sadiemom is the head bird in my household - Sadie the rose-breasted cockatoo who rules here. Once I figure out how to put up my avatar, you will see His Majesty in all his glory.
