Talking I was going to wait.... but I can't!

I was going to wait to tell everyone but I'm just so excited! Curt was asking what I want for Christmas. Well I had no idea! I was glancing at Kijiji just scanning ads. One popped out at me. He is an 18 month old cockatiel. He has been handraised sinced he hatched. He is soooooo adorable! I figured I'd tell my friend about it (she has started to search for one). I emailed her asking how much. Her reply: $50 for cage, bird, and some food. Curt said no we don't have the room. I told him I would make the room. (We all know how that is) He saw him and fell in love as well. Well lets just say I told my friend, but said I really want it lol. The owner and I have been going back and forth through emails. I really hope she says she will let us have him.

I am just so excited! Here is the ad if you want to see the beautiful sweet loving boy!
hand raised 18month old male cocketiel - Portland (OR) Birds for Sale - Kijiji Portland (OR), Oregon

We weren't going to get another bird for awhile, but we fell in love. (Isn't that what always happens when you're not wanting another?)

Be careful, that cuteness could be hiding a XAF!

Ok maybe not, he's adorable!!
