KJ> I have a friend who does that, and she's swamped for business. Bird
 KJ> toys that are safe and interesting are a hot commodity with bird owners
 KJ> these days!
        I'll have to show him this.... he's on the same BBS that this
        echo is on.... give him something to do with his spare time! 
 KJ> Well, if 15 is a lot, I guess so! I've got 8 aging cockatiels (oldest
 KJ> is around 10, youngest is 6), 4 Jenday conures, and 3 Cherry-headed
 KJ> conures. The Jendays are all pets, the older two are also breeders
 KJ> (and parents of one of the younger ones). 
        15??!!? Holy cow! And 7 conures... bet it isn't too quiet around
       your homestead! :> I've admired the suns for a long time, but i
       don't think i could tolerate the noise level. The friend i got
       my Grey from had two gold-capped conures... whenever she was on
       the phone she had to take it into the bathroom just to talk be-
       cause they are so loud. That's what's nice about Greys... the
       most noise they make is their singing and/or talking, but they
       seldom scream. Koko does scream once in a great while when he's
       playing with his rock-on-a-chain: guess it p.o.'s him or some-
       thing! He does it so rarely though that everyone laughs and
       applauds. It is a cool sound. Just not one you'd want to hear
       constantly! 
         Cockatiels are so sweet. We had one who died last spring. She
       would open her cage, climb out, run all around the house till
       she found me, climb up my leg and nestle up under my hair on my
       shoulder. She was happy just to sit on you. I'd love to get
       another one some day... a female. She was my cuddly one. Sniff.
         Funny how pets get into your heart, isn't it?
