Countdown!

I am so excited I can hardly concentrate on anything! :shock:

Tomorrow is the day that my "Ramone" will be coming home! I'll be picking him up at the airport tomorrow evening and will post a pic as soon as I can.

Last night I finished adding treats and toys to his cage and stared at the empty thing for an hour I think. I have the video camera ready, a blankie, water bottle, and a variety of treats too. I even burned a cd of "Jungle" sounds with music to play in the van on the ride home. (I'm such a geek!)

Anyway - I knew you guys would understand - even if my kids think I'm a nut!

Its so much fun anticipating the arrival of a new bird. I hope he fills that spot in your heart that you've reserved for him.

Gotta go to Buffalo. It will be a balmy 55 degrees tomorrow though, so it should be an enjoyable trip.

Yes - Just last week the 2nd cage came! I ended up with a 2 for 1 on that deal, so it's all good!

OSCAR AND I ARE SO EXCITED FOR YOU!
Because of our adoptions have been similar, and our parrots have lived together, I almost feel like we're bird-family or something...like Ramone is Oscar's cousin :D

P.S.- I take it you had the same problem with cage shipment that I did?

I also have a cage that arrived damaged from one of the vendors (don't even remember which one anymore) and the great thing is that you can literally DOUBLE the size of your cage!
