Congratulations!!! Looks like you get to cross a bird off of your "What birds are you dying to own" list!! I can't wait to see pictures!! Does he have a name yet?

...yes! Inquiring (or should that read 'nosy'???) minds want to know!!! Congrats!!!

...keep in mind, that stressed Pi's don't move...instead they tend to 'freeze'. I think this have given many the impression that the birds are perch potatos or boring...since they don't give the bird a chance to open up and relax before writing them off...

...another thing to keep in mind is that when very stressed, they may also 'wheeze'...don't confuse this (or let your vet) with respiratory distress...

...AND...they give off the BEST smell when they're excited...like flowers...soon you'll be Pi Sniffing with the rest of us...
