New Reference from an Adoptive home

Hi Nancy,

I really don’t know if you remember us…we adopted Chico a Conure in March.

I have to thank you so much for the gift of having Chico in our lives. When we got him he had plucked out under his wings and a good bit of his chest. All his feathers are back now,  and he is one beautiful bird.  Chico spends his days supervising me at work. Either sleeping in my shirt, or supervising from his perch on my shoulder. He has learned to fly (at first he was a rock with wings) and actually will come back when I call him from any location.

Chico has been to the east  coast in the Motor Home and will be heading south for a month this winter. We did leave him home overnight ONCE he was hysterical when we got home, so now he comes everywhere with us, or stays with my Mother-in-law if absolutely necessary.  Chico has decided he’s a protection bird, and has “attacked” uninvited  guests, he takes his job very seriously, and announces every person coming to the door, or yard. (family excluded) He loves to tease the kids at times, but is still rather a one person bird. Chico says hello when the phone rings in kind of a muttering undertone. Blows kisses, imitates my laugh, and several timers. He also says NO LACEY every time he see’s our young dog. (who is forever in trouble) Chico has a lovebird as his best pal during cage time. Angel bullies him constantly, they adore each other. Angel tucks herself under his wing at night, and during the day tries to teach Chico how to be a troublemaker…so far he has resisted all efforts.

I just wanted to let you know that your rescue brought a wonderful bird into our lives and I will always be thankful for your work.

Mary
