Aw, Pajarita. That poor macaw! Honestly, they should be paying YOU to take her off their hands, not the other way 'round.
Well, I'm off to the shop to see Skeeter again. Will report how it goes...

SKEETER! ♥ YOU'RE BRINGING HIM HOME! YAY! This is GREAT news. He is soooooo cute, Weka! That music, seeing him in the cage, made me tear up a bit.
So glad he found a loving parront mama like yourself.

Yeah, the music was a bit over the top. I've changed it to a track that's less of a tear-jerker...

Thanks, Harpmaker!
I've already scheduled his first vet appointment and spent some time today making more safety assessments and writing down what else I need to do between now and mid-January. Oh, and I've recently added a couple more parrot books to my collection, including Michael's The Parrot Wizard's Guide to Well-Behaved Parrots. Been a good read so far...

Just look at him get close to you in the video! Just squeezing his whole body against the bars. Some things are just meant to be! 
I'm not much of an impulse buyer, but even I can't wait for you to bring him home!
