Have you gals checked out Jaw Jaw's site for the winner of her pretty pet contest? Too cute!

While you're there, go to Trixie's page and see a picture of Sammie, my parrot.

I'm glad you brought this up Dianne. I was wondering who won. I'd love to see your parrot too.

Beautiful parrot and shame on you Dianne for tempting her with a, a parrakeet, of all things!

Every summer here it amazes me how many parrots, especially African Greys go missing. The newspaper has a special area to post missing pets.

Is your parrot's wings clipped? We've got a huge sulphur crested cockatoo at our PetsMart for sale. Everytime I go in there I have to stop by and see him. He's a beauty too and seems very sweet.

Yes, Ms. Sammie's wings are clipped. I always lock up my house to prevent her theft. They are expensive and valuable and it would break my heart if I lost her...break her heart too.

I hate to see Parrots for sale at PetsMart because they charge so much and the birds end up sitting there for what seems like forever. They need good homes where they can bond.

I know what you mean Dianne because it breaks my heart to see this same bird week after week after week. His price is $1600.00. I love looking at those sweet, soft-looking round black eyes.

Went there again last night Dianne. He was still there but I noticed he is called an Umbrella Cockatoo, not a sulphur-crested.

Very sweet birds. A person could buy one from a breeder at much less. I hate the mark up on these birds because it lessens their chances of being bought.

It's probably why I see these beautiful birds for months at a time.

Well, yeah. Who can afford it? The birds get attached to the staff at the store and when someone finally buys them, they have to adjust again. But, African Greys have more trouble with that than other parrots. I'm just glad I found Sammie when I did.
