Everybody meet LILO

[Gburchett]

This is LILO. I know I had posted earlier about getting on a waiting list, but I ended up getting her. It's a long story, but to make it short, we met the owner at a bird show we had gone to. We had talked to him about her to find out the breeder he had gotten her from. It turns out that he got her from a guy that had raised her from an egg and couldn't keep her anymore. Moving or something like that. Anyway, he got her and kept her in his dorm at school. They had a fire drill and he got busted with her. His mom knew about her, but his dad didn't. So at the show he was telling us this story and that he might have to give her up. We gave him our info and said if you decide to give her up call us.

About 3 weeks go by, I put a deposit down on an egg. I get an email from him 2 days after I send the deposit in. He said he has tried to get the apartment he is moving to to allow her, but they would not, so he has to rehome her.

So today I went and picked her up. She/he is 13 months old and is just as sweet as can be. My wife fell in love with her the first time we saw her at the show.


So everyone meet LILO

Thanks. I'm so excited. She's sitting on her perch next me, eating an apple. I can't wait to start training her.

Hello little Lillo. Both parrot and dog are so cute.

 

[JerseyWendy]

MANY many congrats!!! Lilo is GORGEOUS! What a sweet girl!!! You and your wife must be over the moon!!!

Your pretty dog (Yellow Lab???) seems to be quite intrigued.

I do feel bad for her owner, it had to have been so difficult for him to part with her.

BUT, she's in GREAT hands now!!

What will happen to the deposit? Will you get it back or will you be getting another flock member?

No. No baby. Breeder is returning my deposit. I don't need 2 right now.

 

[Gburchett]

Wendy; I'll be getting my deposit back. I don't need 2 right now. Yes, the lab was very interested, but he did good. My other lab doesn't care. And the 2 weimers I don't think even know she's there.

Yes it was hard on him. I know he'll miss her. We'll take good care of her though.
