Meet Annie

Annie came home to live with me today. She is very sweet. She is about six years old. She will step up for just about anyone. Sometimes she might complain a little but doesn't really bite or even beak. I realize this can change in a split second but her overall nature is very gentle and sweet. I know this is unusual for one of the 'hot three' but she was socialized from the time she was a baby, dearly loved, and the fact she is a she seems to make a difference from what I've read too. Right now she is being quarantined in my office which will also serve to let the two goons in the other room get used to having another bird in the house before they actually meet. I understand she does talk but had stopped talking under the stress so it will be interesting to see if/when she picks that up again. Attached are a few pictures. I really hope this works out for both of us. After adopting two babies I kind of hoped that if I ever took in another bird it would be an older one who needed a new home. Here's to it.

Welcome Annie!

Glad to see that you finally broke that 2 bird limit barrier Tom!

She is a beauty! I knew you have always had a soft spot for the Amazons! Look at the feathers on her, she is precious!

Are Bing and Davey calling to her yet? Congrats, we look forward to hearing about how she is settling in. Also will need pics of the first meeting with the boys.

Well, Tom... I must say I am shocked! Tom with more than two birds? I can't believe you broke your two bird limit, however, I am glad you did! I am also glad you adopted an older bird.

Congrats!! Be sure to keep us all posted on her progress!!

going back for a second look, she looks like she's got her angel face on and a bit of the devil in those eyes! can't wait to hear stories of her settling in.
