primsongFinally found a pair of parakeets to adopt, and they're only the next town over so it won't even take a lot of driving to fetch them. One is white with a little blue ("Bella"....we're going to have to rename that one) and the other is blue with a little white ("Freckles"....he gets to keep his name). They had the white one for a while then found the blue in their backyard and took him in and nursed him back to health a couple years ago, both are happy little snuggling chatterboxes.
Our lonely Sherbet bird will be SOOO happy to have other birds around, now what remains to be seen is how well they'll accept one another, but I'm going to be doing that with a gradual month-long nudging cages closer together like the pet forums all suggest and we'll see what happens. Yay! BIRDS!!! I'm all happy and hopeful, we pick them up tomorrow. I've nearly always had parakeets in my life and it was just way too quiet with only one in the house.
