My bird said her first words today.  Ironically, they weren’t “I love you” which I was trying to teach her, but rather… “RTFM”.. How Ironic.

I have no idea where she picked it up, but it’s clear she did from somewhere.

She also hums along to the music that make my heart hurt.  Whenever the Bruno Mars song Grenade comes on, she decides to hum to it and dance on my shoulder… *sigh*

A Blue Crowned Conure who is learning free flight.  Smart as a whip and sits on my shoulder all day as I do this stuff.

Go figure.. gotta love her.  If you’re looking for the perfect pet (and I’ve had all kinds including a serval), the bird seems to be the way to go.  Easy maintenance, full of personality, and just overall, a great companion for 20-30 years.

I bought her and my daughter a bird at Goldencockatoo (which I happen to be webmaster of)… They’re truly a high quality outfit.  If you’re considering a bird, don’t go to Petsmart or anything like that.  Go to a top shelf operation.

The most important thing to remember about a bird is… You’ll choose each other.  You’ll know it.  Don’t buy a bird you don’t gel with right off the bat.  She chose me more than I chose her, but we fell for each other within about 20 min.  Just a random thought.

If you do decide to go there or are considering a bird, call them and mention that Percy sent you via his blog. (Gives me “street cred”) lol..

I’m not going to stumble or reddit this, because it’s somewhat of a meaningless thing, but I’d love to see how high up on the ranks it gets if someone decides to. 🙂 hint hint.. lol.

Cheers People.
