Hello from Tennessee!

[angelicarboreals]

Hi everybody,

I have been lurking on here for a while and figured that now is as good a time as ever to introduce myself and my flock. My name is Angela, and I live in Middle Tennessee with my boyfriend, seven parrots, six snakes, and a pond full of koi fish.

I have had parrots since I was a young child, and always vowed that when I was out on my own that I would have a houseful. Well, I got my mealy amazon when I was twenty and in the past five years have grown my flock to seven. I am momma to:

Chico, a 5 year old Mealy Amazon
Connor, a 2 year old Sun Conure
Wesley, a 17 year old Greater Sulphur Crested Cockatoo
Tinkerbell, a 1 year old Peach Faced Lovebird
Joey, a 3 year old Senegal
Harley, a 10 year old Mexican Red Headed Amazon
Cosmo, a 1 year old Swainson's Rainbow Lory

A little about me: I am a graduate student majoring in zoology at MTSU, the largest university in the state. I love wildlife photography, anything that has to do with parrots, reptiles, and being outdoors. I love camping, hiking, archery, kayaking, and visiting anyplace with historical/animal significance.

I can't wait to get to know everyone, and it is refreshing to see some of the same faces on another bird forum that I visit.

Hi Angela
It is really nice to meet you! I had Budgies growing up, and I've always loved the larger hookbills! I vowed as a kid that I would have a Blue and Gold Macaw some day and I would name him Tiku.....and now, 28 years later, TA-DA! So I can totally relate to you there!
