Hello!
I've been browsing here for the past week or so, and thought I should 
introduce myself, and my birds.  
I'm a thirty year old mother of three, although my children are presently 
living with their father.  I go to school part-time during the week, and will 
be starting a part-time waitressing job this weekend, to help make ends meet 
until I graduate.
Presently, I have a cockatiel (regular) and a blue budgie, both living in the 
same cage.  I've had Leroy Brown (the 'tiel) for about 6 months now, and just 
got Bunny (the budgie) about three weeks ago.  I've had a lot of experience 
breeding Zebra finches in the past, but apart from that, not much practical 
experience, although I do read a lot.
My boyfriend has a three month old hand-fed Cinnamon Pearl cockatiel named 
Ozzy.
I'm planning on getting a hand-fed love bird in a couple of weeks.  I have 
books on lovebirds, so feel that I am fairly well prepared for this.  I feed 
all my birds Hagen Tropican pellets, with the occasional fresh veggie/fruit, 
and some home-made soft-food mixture (oatmeal, macaroni, baby cereal...), and 
some spray millet as a special treat.
The birds get a spray bath every third day or so.  Is that sufficient, or is 
it too much?  Any helpful hints in welcomming a lovebird in my home? (it will 
be just weaned, so it can bond to me easier).
Eventualy, I'd love to get an Elenora  Cockatoo.  I've been playing with 
one at a local petshop, and am in absolute love with him.  
Hope to hear from you soon!
Chris
