Please welcome our first bird...

She's here!! Please welcome Jewel, our first parrot! She is one year old. She's only been here for 24 hours and she has everyone falling in love with her. She's is a sweetheart, and adapting quite quickly (I think). I am concerned with her feathers, but she has a vet appointment on Friday morning.

Thank you everyone!! We are just so in love with her! We were originally set to get a Sun Conure, but the stars never aligned just right (so it seems with the breeder), so in my new search I stumbled across this beautiful girl. I think it was meant to be... We kind of have a zoo of animals over here, but most are not as smart or social as her. She is technically my 8 year old son's, but of course I put the idea in his head to begin with and will be primary caretaker. She is already a "family bird". She likes everyone, and even allows my 2 year old to pet her. (He waits for approval, and so gentle it's almost enough to make you cry.) I know many people think having a bird with small children is not a good idea, but I can assure everyone that I am Warden in my house. I run a tight ship, and all animals are completely respected and the kids NEVER torment any of them. (It's all perks of being a stay-at-home-mom, or it probably wouldn't work for us.) Anyway, thank you all again. We just so excited!!

Nothing wrong with having a bird with kids as long as you are there to supervise. I think birds can teach kids great life lessons.
