Yes, I realize that returning him to the flock is probably a nonstarter. He is quite tame and was about three or four months old when he fell ill and I found him. He was still with his parents, and they were quite upset when I scooped him up off the pavement and took him home. So I have always felt a little guilty about the rescue even though the infection would have meant his demise. I have a couple of budgies, so he has some little cousins for company.

Thanks, Karen. Have you seen the conures lately? I am thinking about repatriating Chili when his wing feathers grow back. It may not be feasible, but I'd like to at least find the flock. I heard that there is also a flock in Sunnyvale, but I don't know where.

Hi Karen! Thank you for the welcome :) I have three other parrots too. A nanday conure, a caique, and a brown-headed parrot. Plus two budgies. I love the pic of your dog. She(?) is so cute! -pam

Welcome Daisy & Karen! We're happy to have you join us!

Hi Karen, Welcome to the Small Happening Dogs Meetup. Neela and I are looking forward to meeting you and your furry pal.

Hi Lucy!! We missed this last meet up but we will be at the next one! Can't wait to see you again.

Thanks for the welcome! When I met Martini, I realized that Maximillian Pionus parrots are the color of green olives, and they have bright red feathers under their tail, like a pimento in a martini olive - that's where his name comes from! I may not make your first meeting, but I certainly plan on coming to as many as possible - it will be great to talk with other parrot people! Hope to meet you soon (if not this Sunday)

Karen, thanks so much for the warm welcome. I'll try to rustle up a few more members for us. See ya in a couple of weeks!

Dear Karen, Daisy and the rest of the gang,
Thank you for the birthday treats! Lily and Shelby love the Hedge Hog and treats!
xoxo Wendy & Lily
