Howdy!

[Nimbus]

Well figured I may as well join this fancy here forum since I finally was able to bring home my girl today. I had put a deposit down on her at a family owned pet store in VA and have been waiting for her to finally finish being hand-fed. Today was that day.

She's a sweet little sun conure who we've named Nimbus (Nim for short) She's spunky too, but very affectionate. She is my first bird, but I've done all my necessary research and I'm ready for her =)


Now about myself. I'm Emily, just a simple 19 year old girl (Soon to be 20 in October) And due to be married next summer. I'm pretty sure I've got my life figured out which is more than what I can say for most people my age. I work in a photo studio taking pictures and doing sales etc.

I also own a horse and am an avid horseback rider. I prefer no specific discipline, but if I had to choose I love to jump, and I love to rein. (I do both bareback, my saddle has been broken for a while now haha)

I teach lessons to children 5+ on horseback as well.

Well, I think that about covers it, and oh yeah I like to draw aswell but thats not super important.

Either way, its nice to meet you all! Please bear with me as I may have some VERY newbish questions that I'd rather have answered from seasoned bird owners than self-proclaimed bird experts.

He is beautiful you didn't get the name from the broom stick in harry potter the nimbus 3000 by any chance lol

 

[Nimbus]

Hehehe actually I wanted to name her Tonks. But my fiance would not have it so he suggested Nimbus without actually realizing the reference Plus I can always pretend when I am calling her Nim.. Its short for Nymphadora.

Nice to have another HP fan to talk to!

[ConureCrazy]

See, Paul already mentioned we were nuts! There's your proof!

 

[paulhanlon]

Well we have to tell the truth don't we lol otherwise people will think this is a forum for unstable people then haha

 

[ConureCrazy]

Hey I don't mind admitting I'm nuts! I mind people who won't accept me for that. Er, tolerate me.

 

[ConureCrazy]

Oh ny the way, shoot us with your questions, we don't care it's what the forum is about: To answer questions and share knowledge... and goof off lol.

 

[paulhanlon]

That's why she's caged and only gets my attention once every hour lol

 

[ConureCrazy]

Ya, he's right, living the life... Woohoo. Did he mention another user WharfRat is trapped in his house too? Um, I wouldn't mind if you left right now, I think I would too if I wasn't nuts LOL. Hope you're nuts too, we want you to stick around!

 

[Nimbus]

I loved it too, but he wanted to name her TicTac and I agreed I wouldnt call her Tonks if he wouldnt call her TicTac.

Just snapped this one too.. My cat Liono is all like.. "...Soon."

Also, excuse the mess. We're mid-process of cleaning our room. This included taking apart the fan and cleaning it, taking down the pictures and wiping the walls, etc haha, and washing the sheets. Also those pieces of card-board there actually sit behind the curtains and keep the sun from heating up our room, but I had just washed the windows so I didnt put them back yet.

 

[paulhanlon]

I tryed my hardest to get her to fledge but she's joined to my hip and won't give me a break I'm only 24 and she's turned me grey already along with wharfrat hahaha
