I've just found this spot, and it's made me homesick for my quaker parrot, 
Piper.  I got him hand-fed from a breeder, and we were inseparable.  He was 
quick to learn to talk and loved to snuggle to my neck.  Someone broke into 
my house the week before my birthday and stole him. (left the tv, the vcr, 
the stereo, just took my sweet baby.)... I've been thinking about getting 
another bird, but my heart is still so heavy when I think about Piper.  It's 
been eight months.  Anyway, It's been nice scanning your messages and hearing 
about your birds.
Take care,
blm
