Hello From A New Member

[TigressRae]

Hi my name is Rachel or just Rae for short. I stumbled upon this site tonight, quite by accident & cannot believe that I haven't found it before now! Anyways there are some names here that look quite familiar including Wendy Craig's, among others. I have an RFM from Wendy & am expecting a Blue Throat & Scarlet from her this summer

Anyways....I have a very full house, as I take in a lot of rescues, rehomes, birds that are in need of rehabilition & other scenarios of that manner. I currently have 19 parrots, with 2 more rescues coming in shortly. I also have 2 dogs, 2 rescued Southern Flying Squirrel babies that I am handfeeding & 2 rescued Sugar Glider joeys that I am handfeeding as well. So needless to say, it's never a dull moment around my house. This fall I am expecting my most yearned for Hyacinth Macaw....I finally broke down & took the plunge Other than that, my door is always open to a bird in need!

Here's the list of my crew -- it's really long just like my whole intro has been

~Maui~ gender unknown lutino Fischer's Lovebird

Welcome Rae! I just read through your list of birds and you have some interesting and beautiful names. I LOVE Malachi for a blue and gold.

[Xavier]

Welcome! You sure have a lot of birds!

You'll fit in just fine, as long as you take lots of pictures! We love looking at other birds that we want but could never have... especially birds like that Hyacinth!

Have fun here!

Welcome to BirdBoard....

I'm always guilty till proven innocent ... so don't believe anyone :-)

[TigressRae]

Hey Graeh....I new I recognized your lewd little flasher bird last night It's great to recognize some faces here!

Thanks everyone for your warm welcomes I greatly appreciate it! I was so excited when I found this place last night....most parrot forums are so slow, but this place seems really hoppin'

As for pictures...I have an album it didn't have pictures of the newer birds in it, so as soon as I am finished uploading my new pictures on it this evening, I will post it :)

Joel....well you already sound like a heap a trouble.....so keep it up! Yeah as for the S.O. there isn't one in my collection as you put it. Little ol' me takes care of this jungle on a daily basis. Why? You wanna come over & scrub bird cages for me?

I can't wait to meet you all & to get to know everyone!
