 KJ> I'm SO glad! Now I can get REALLY confused! 
       He he he...I spend a lot of time lately being confused....;-)

 KJ> I love lutinos--I have two here, Bennie and Bonnie (formerly "Bon
 KJ> Jovi" before I got HER...). Are Princess and Scoobie related?
       No...they aren't...I got them from the same breeder but Scoobie
       was a handfed that she got from another breeder that couldn't
       handfeed at the time he was born...;-)  Princess is from one of
       her own pair...;-)
 >things...very slow...;-)  Actually she is kinda stupid...;-)
 KJ> Nah, just cautious!  She sounds like a sweetheart!
       She is a sweetheart...but she isn't real smart...she doesn't like
       to perch on my finger...almost seems like her feet are too
       big...;-)  But she can get on the swing and do some crazy 
       things...;-)

 KJ> Sounds like Scoobie is trying to keep his new girlfriend to himself.
 KJ> Better watch it, or he'll be trying to make little 'tiels with her
 KJ> before you realize it!
       Well I'm hoping that they get along...but I'm not to sure I want 
       to breed them...;-)
 >It is funny...but they are getting along....;-)  I'm now owned by two
 >crazy cockatiels...;-) But I'm now level...one on each shoulder...;-)
 KJ> The things people will do to get their heads on straight! 
       He he he...He is still my baby....I went away over the weekend
       and a friend came in to feed them and change their water and let 
       them out to play....;-)  He hasn't stopped talking since 
       Monday...and this is Wednesday...;-)  I spend special time with 
       him....and a little with her....during each day....so he doesn't 
       feel that he has been replaced...;-) This seems to be working out
       ok....;-)
 >... Mommy let me perch on your glasses...Pleeeeease.
 KJ> Boy, is THAT the truth! If they can't perch on'em, they want to CHEW
 KJ> on'em!
       Thank Gawd for metal frames....;-)  Princess hangs from the 
       corner of them....she can't perch...they are too close to my 
       face....so she hangs from them with her beak....;-)
       
       I need some advice....I was given a beautiful cage over the 
       weekend...and I need to know if it is too big for them...;-)
       The dimension...are 28 1/2 hx19wx19d and the bars are 7/8in 
       apart....the distance between the bars is what I'm worried 
       about....I think this cage housed a cockatoo....I don't want
       to risk finding them hanging themselves if the bars are too far 
       apart...;-)
       If this cage isn't right for them....what kind of bird can it be 
       for????  Not likely to get a 'too or an African Gray....so how 
       about something a little smaller????
       
       Thanks Kathy...;-) Looks like the bird bug has bitten me..;-)
