Good Thing I Had All That Energy....

Turns out that I worked nonstop from 10 am til not too long ago (about 11:30pm). I seriously didn't sit down for a break til 9:30pm, and that was for 5 minutes. Yeah..My legs feel like they want to just fall off. Oh well. And to top it all off...I handled this super busy feels-more-like-a-friday all by myself, as my Mom went to go get Dad at the Thunder Bay airport. Wow. I'm super happy Dads home...he needs a break too. He dropped a lot of weight since the last I saw him...he's been working like crazy. But hopefully he'll be more relaxed over the next few days.
Okay....those of you who regularly check the site know that in May, our beloved Alexandrine Parrot Cosmo passed away. When I went to help Dad with some packages he brought in from the truck..there in front of me was another Alexandrine Parrot. He (its a he..Mom has the papers) is named "Rodeo" (God! I hate it when pet stores give these birds silly names)..he's only a year old, and is already talking. Poor little guy was scared at first, but when he was brought upstairs and met the other birdies we have, he calmed right down. I guess he's glad he won't be alone..or worse yet..planned for someones dinner.He is quite large..but his markings are not completely in yet..the black collar will show up within the next year. Such a handsome boy. I guess the Africa Grey I wanted is still there..talking up a storm, and his price has been reducedby a couple hundred bucks.. Hmmm..maybe hes getting vicious..who knows?I am slightly perturbed that Mom got an exact replica of the one we lost, but at the same time, I'm happy too, cause she's been able to get over Cosmos demise.SO now..here is our birdie family..in no particular order..
Rodeo..The Alexandrine parrott, our latest edition and the biggest bird here.
Casey...The Quaker Monk Parakeet, my absolute fave and by far the smartest of the crew and most cuddly.
Sunny and Coco..our Cockatiels..Sunny is yellow, and Coco is dark, but both are pretty happy campers..both can do the wolf whistle.
Bubby..The Peachfaced Lovebird...loves Mom and will bite everyone else who comes near...loves her baths in her little yellow bathtub.Plus..she says "Peek a Boo!", and can play the game with you.
John and Poncharello...our paraleets.Notorious for chirping rapidly and angrily when you change their water and food. They are brothers, and look so cute at night when they sleep on their perch, as they sit side by side. Ponch likes to bite..John doesn't.
Seven birds..wow..who needs a freakin alarm clock anymore???
