Charlie and I just wanted to say hello... I've loved parrots (and birds in general) ever since I was a child. My first "bird" was a Penguin plushie I was just about born with (which gave me a penguin addiction I still have today ), my first real bird was a budgie whom I had for two years as a teen until he died in a flight accident (hit his head against a wall... He wasn't very good at landing but that still was a very sad surprise because he flew in that room very often without issue...).
Anyways. Fast forward to now... More than 10 years after my little budgie (whose death only recently stopped haunting my dreams...) I decided to try again... My love for birds has never abated, and I'm involved in some bird groups on the internet that I look at everyday.
I bought a dozen books and read them all three times, I scoured the Internet, took notes, etc, prior to buying and bringing home Charlie the Sun Conure. I thought I was prepared. Well I'm fully puzzled by that 3 month old birdie!
I've been reading in this forum for a while and signed p a week or two ago - but now i'm ready to participate.
Hello all!
