Congratulations!
And on a side note, I am 15 min south of Philly.....and we do have quite a few pet shops with birds.......just saying if you wanted to hang out some time I could show you where they are.....lol:54:
I would probably come home with a bird - and then my husband would have a bird!

But, it does sound enjoyable - if we could fit lunch in, too!
I am volunteering (just started) at Jo Jo the Grey Rescue in Upper Darby. She takes in birds that need to be "relocated", works with them if they have problems and finds them new, and hopefully, forever homes. Basically, I will be there to help socialize, so they have experiences with people other than just her. Playing with parrots - what an awful job.

Maybe you would be interested in that?
My Red Belly is in the air as we speak, due to arrive at PHL 7:30 tonight. The cage is ready and I am just a little excited right now!
I would have driven, but the breeder had made arrangements for shipping by the time I had given it some thought. The weather is great for flying today and 5 hours in the car would've been stressful, too - I'm rationalizing. I hope the little guy is ok. Youngsters are resilient.
