CONGRATS!! I love your sense of humor, the way you get STRAIGHT to the point, and most of all I love how much YOU LOVE your birds. You may grumble, you may seem gruff, but you're a softy and it's endearing. Case in point...recently a woman brought home a cockatoo and of course the bird LOVED (not her) her husband to the point of attacking him and he washed his hands of the situation. My heart sank when she thought she might give up the bird and then with a few sentences and pictures of your basement set up her problem was solved.
And Thank You for all of the advice, words of wisdom, and no nonsense solutions that you have given me when I can't decide what to do in a challenging situation. I'm happy you are here.
