 I know about the furniture. My B&G used to sit at the table with us until he 
ate the edge off the table. He has also chewed a banister, a chair rail, etc. 
I would MAYBE trade both of my "kids" for a Hyacinth... I am attached to my 
two. I would like to have one but like you, the funds are just not there. My 
summer project will HOPEFULLY be an outdoor aviary.
