me too!

Though I prefer rescue/rehomes only, if I ever am lucky enough to run across a hyacinth in need of a home, I will be ecstatic!

Me too! Archimedes is a special case though, he was a pet store bird but had been there for over a year and was in a small cage all by himself and very sad... I consider him a rescue. :D

absolutely, Rosie was rescued from a petstore and a horrible endless cycle of being returned to it. Her original owner died and she bounced in and out of homes and petstores for almost 2 years(I know of 4 confirmed homes she went to, and 2 stores, but there were probably more!). She was near impossible to handle and miserably unhappy. She picked me up while I was there getting birdseed for my parakeet. The store owner ended up making me an awesome deal because she realized that this bird was better off with someone she actually liked than to make money off her. I've never had an issue with her, not a one.

My dream bird would be an Hahn's Mini Macaw, I'm crazy for those green fellas but it'll be a hassle to get them now. Maybe one in the future. I've always wanted a Macaw, but they're so big when I found about the Mini Macaw I almost yelped out of excitement. They're gorgeous! :thumbsup:

I think first off when I get my own space I want a Sun Conure or almost any type of Conure I could get my hands on.Just cool birds. I've never been enticed by anything larger than that.. Macaws just seem too much and scary to me. Those and Sulfur Crested Cockatoos. I'm just not into them.. I went into a pet store which had a couple of them and it was unpleasant. Like I literally almost fainted from the screeching/screaming.
