HELP! Budgie needs handfeeding

I'm glad you did, Tex.. Hamlet sounds like a really great bird.
I just miss the bird store I used to go to when I lived in New Jersey, The Paterson Bird Store. It was nothing but birds and bird stuff. I got my first parrot there and you could just go there and talk bird/gossip whatever.. it was so much fun.
I'm sure my mom hated bringing me but I wanted to go there all the time. I remember when I was going to visit my conure before he was ready to come home they had this really attractive girl working behind the counter. All of a sudden my brother volunteered to drive me several times a day to visit my bird. lol..
I wish there was something like that here.

OMG Flyte - that's where I bought Keupi! (Or where Keupi bought me, depending on perspective.)

Holy Crap are you serious?? Thats where I got my blue crowned conure, Echo!! Thats so crazy.
Were you around when someone stole the Stores 'Mascot' Amazon, Peaches?
I felt so bad for them, they were so upset. I brought Rocky to visit and the owners wife cuddled him and cried. I felt soooo bad.
Someone just stole her right out of the store. She could sing the song 'I left my heart in San Fransisco' I don't think they ever got her back

I don't think I was around then... I 'adopted' (put the deposit down) Keupi on June 15 2002 and brought him home on July 6th. I remember, there was a delightful store mascot with a 'P' name but it was male. We had great 'chats' while I was waiting to enter the 'nursery.'

That was also the place where I, in the same encounter, discovered Keupi was a jewel thief and a cookie burglar... never mind I wanted to just disappear (floor open and take me now).

Two levels - bottom - three rooms (food/toys in one, ready birds in another, hand feeders in another) and top was a maze of cages and gyms with two (??) rooms one for boarding and one for engaging?

On Route 46 next to Office Max - right?

Yes that was it! I loved that store! I remember when I was arguing with the owners son about finches. He said they couldn't be tamed/hand-fed and so the next time I came in I brought 4 hand fed babies with me. He had them all siting on his hand and he thought they were so cool. I didn't want to sell them to the pet store because I was worried they'd get mixed in with the 'normal' ones, I wanted to pick out the owners myself and I was getting a heck of a lot more money for my zebra finches than the normal like $5.00 price.
I miss that store. All the stores here stink. I hate living in the woods. I'm sick of toothless hicks
*cries softly*

I miss that store too. It was a fid wonderland. Luckily I still have family in Jersey, and -gosh be darn can drive right by there (with a slight detour - hour - LOL) on my way down to visit them.
