May I Introduce My Bird.

[carlton23]

This is my pet Rosa Bourke Parakeet called, what else? "Pinkie". About 4yrs ago on a very cold evening in January she was pointed out to me by my grandson, and she was on a tree branch outside my house looking very weak and fluffed up. I quickly got a pair of steps from my house, and slowly climbed up and took her in my hand and took her indoors. Not having a cage to put her in, I used a upturned plastic fold up box and placed her in that. The next day I toured the neighbourhood trying to find her owners and advertised her in shops windows, but as nobody responded, here she is as my avatar. Nice eh?

She looks lovely carlton - a lucky bird indeed. We had a lutino budgie when I was a child that loved a sip or 3 of home made wine in the evening which was his free flight time. He was almost as wordy as am I ;o)

Well, it`s time I shut my cage for the night as well, so g`night all, and don`t forget to feed the wild birds.

Awww, cute little birdie carlton.....I've never had a pet bird before! :(

[Invictas]

I wonder(as no doubt you have) just WHERE she came from,and isn't she lucky that YOU found her?
She is VERY pretty!

[China Doll]

She's lovely! I've never seen a pink parrot and in the spirit of Veruca Salt, I want one!

rare or medium rare, CD?

What a beauty and nice that you rescued her. Also nice to know that she has freedom. As you see that is my Hannes mccaw and she is out of her cage most of the day and I also have a cockatiel. They are both tame and I just have to say to the cockatiel IN YOUR CAGE and the parrot repeats it and in he goes. IT'S HALARIOUS.

[China Doll]

No... I'd look after it and everything jno!

CD, if you had it rare, it would still be pink, all through.

(you might like to check your emails some day...)

[China Doll]

I've got 80 unread emails, I just assumed they were all junk! I'll look this evening when I'm home! :c)
