new, welcome to Parrots! I'm the overworked, underpaid moderator.

Tesla's improving rapidly. I think what he needed was some reassurance
that he was HOME and never going to be given up again. Somehow, I seem
to have managed to get that idea across to him, and he's been improving
daily ever since. Now, if I could just keep him out of the trash...

Thanks! I'll go check it out. Do you ever use the Doghouse echo? It's an
echo reserved for discussions about dogs. I've been active on there
since we got Tesla--it's been quite helpful!

I know some folks in Michigan who raise them, but I don't know if they
have any mature males available. Do you need a pure blue, or would a
male bird who is split to blue suffice? Just in case they DO have one
available, how would New York bird laws affect bringing a Michigan bird
into the state?
