Exploring Flickr

I've recently found a new passion in my life...and it all started when I was asked to do a favor for someone. I had to take care of a relative's parrot for a week; By the time they came back I didn't want to return their parrot. I had unknowingly grown attached to their pet. I immediately told myself I was going to get my own before I gave theirs back.

Well, the process wasn't so easy. I did my share of research and found out it is much better to get a baby bird from a private breeder rather than in the store where they live in large amounts and lack personal attention. Also, babies eventually grow on you because of all the attention you put forth. Rather than buying an adult bird, in which case they are harder to train.To make a long story short, I ended up purchasing not one, but two, baby Quaker parrots. They are the joy of my life! I have to hand-feed them 4 times a day...they are truly like little babies. All they do is eat and sleep (for now).
