Thanks for the mention. Animals have an amazing ability to change us for the better when we’re going through tough times.
I’m glad that worked out for you.
A few times in my life I’ve gotten the “bird bug” if you will. They ones I had were so dirty, I couldn’t cope with them.
Glad you could/had a better system than I did.
Oh, I ensured that the parrot always had a fresh picture of Jane Fonda on the bottom of his cage and his aim was excellent.
