Ah, conures! Bet your house is noisy! How do you like your lory? I've been thinking about someday getting a red lory. Does yours eat the pelleted diet, or do you mix up the nectar stuff? I've heard good things and bad things about them, but have never talked to anyone who actually was owned by one.

This is hysterical! KJ> Why didn't she ask ME to do this? It's not like I don't talk to her! Well, I don't know why she didn't. I asked her to give me a list of her birds that were for sale so that I could put it out here for her...and, she did.

Guess she was ready to let them go. We know how that is. KJ> Aren't you taking the Great Bill hen? Too much money for an unemployed bus driver. I would be curious to find out if the list that I posted brought any results. Maybe the next time that you see her you could ask.

We don't have a lot of money, but our kids want a bird like our friend's pigmy parrot, but every person we have talked to tells us 200-$600 dollars. I had two budgies years ago when they were $4 each.Well, just checking.
