I posted a question (actually 3 questions) without properly introducing myself. My husband and I are transplants from Texas to California and arrived in two cars: my husband carrying our luggage and important papers and I transporting our dog and our parrot (double yellow-headed Amazon). My husband and I are fortunate to still be working, especially in these crazy times when working from home is possible and in our cases the only option. My husband is a college professor and I represent people whose applications for Social Security disability benefits have been denied. We have an 8-year old rescue terrier with diabetes who has just had cataract surgery and a 35 year old double yellow headed Amazon. We live in San Gabriel, California in Los Angeles County. I'm very glad to have found this site to help answer our questions about our feathery friend.
