Hello! And Thank you!

I discovered this place a few weeks ago, but I figured I'd say thank you to everyone here for all your help with my new Sennie Jake. It's really great to have a resource like this to share ideas and methods of care for our little friends. I was first turned on to birds by my boyfriend when he took me to this great pet store that had a bunch of Cockatoos out. They had SUCh personality and I was fascinated. My only prior experience with a bird was a parakeet I bought when I was 15 that was cute, but died after a few weeks unexpectedly (hence my over-babying Jake). And my only experience with a bigger bird was a Gray that my uncle Mike had tried to rehabilitate. It hated humans, because it had been abused by a former owner. It was very withdrawn and would BITE (couldn't go near it) and for some reason, being younger, I just assumed that's the way parrots were. Boy was I wrong and it's funny to think that there are A LOT of people who have that misconception. I educate most people I meet and even family members with Jake, because they've never seen that side of birds. I never thought in a million years that I would take such an interest like this. And what a fun learning experience as well. That's all I have to say really! Thanks for reading if you made it this far!

Welcome, Jong. There is so much misinformation about birds that its a wonder any of them survive. Its our job to educate folks and continually learn ourselves. They are the most fascinating creatures, and if you are patient and very lucky, they'll even be happy to discuss it with you.

Please come often and share some photos. We LOVE to look at pretty birds and the folks that keep them.
