went to the pet shop...and fell in love with the sweetest little Meyer's parrot. I squeaked at him, and he came down off that perch quick as can be, and squeaked back. He yanked and rulled at the pen door, which was locked. I asked if he was hand tamed, and the sales person said "we're working with him. He's kinda nippy" The guy opened cage, and that bird was out of that cage so fast, up on my hand and giving me kisses. The guy kept telling me I was going to get bitten. Didn't happen. That little bird let me kiss him, flip him on his back, scratch his head and under his chin, play with his wings and feet, grab his bill. Oh, if I had the money, that little Tipsey would be living here with me.

That's how I got Piggy...15 years ago. Go back and get the poor little guy. It was love at first sight for both of you. That doesn't happen very often.

Oh Daryl,
It DOES sound like he bonded to you, and you to him. Take the opportunity and go back, see if you can talk him down on the price a bit. You will dream about the bird, and not stop thinking about him, otherwise.

Oh, believe me,
I'd love to be owned by him. I can't buy him. Most of you don't know, but I'm having medical issues. Short of breath, with low O2 sats. Normal chest x-ray. And diagnosed with Pseudotumor Cerebri this week. MRI of the brain next Monday, visit with Neurologist and pulmonary function tests after. Working what I can tolerate, my husband can't pay all the bills on his paycheck. This little bird would be on my shoulder all day long if he was here (wing clipped, too!!!)

Oh, sorry to hear about your health problems. Hope you are feeling better soon.
That little bird is why I just can't visit pet stores. I tried talking my husband into a $1000 bird once. THAT was a waste of time............

I hope your test turn out negitive and it ends up being just a minor something. I'll keep my fingers crossed for good results.

Daryl,
I hope you will be able soon to put your medical problems behind you. I looked up your little parrot. I didn't know which kind it was. They sure are beautiful. I can just see him jumping down off that perch at the sound of your voice. Sure did! I had the vision of that little bird sliding down the hill on your shoulder during the icy months. Leave him a little wing so that at least he can land correctly. Last edited by Feather; 23rd June 2008 at 09:14 PM.

Had my MRI yesterday, even let the tech inject the contrast without a fight. I HATE needles !!!. When the 2 techs sat me up after the test was done, I pitched right off the table head first,luckily, the 2 people still had a good hold on my arms. My balance is wacky, I forget the names of the dangdest things (couldn't think of paper plates, and I was looking right at them).
Have another Dr. appt today, going to go see if my birdie is still at the pet shop, and if he is, I'll cuddle him before my appt. In a way, I hope he's already been sold, and to a good home. Daryl
