Well, we did it. We actually did a thing.....we have a new family member. This kiddo, right here:

                                    

                                   

We have been missing our Bruce so much, but, as anyone who knows me will tell you, I am really good at talking myself out of things. Anything, from eating a piece of cake to buying a pair of shoes.

Seriously. It's highly irritating. Sometimes I want to slap myself. I basically decide I want to do something, and then I take some time to think about it. I make a mental pros and cons list, the cons list gets astronomical, and then I decide not to do it.

All the time.

So, although we've been emailing breeders and looking around at birds, we didn't actually plan on a baby anytime soon. And then I saw something about a small pet store in Albuquerque, and while we were down getting my husband's truck worked on, we decided to swing by.

We walked in and saw a white cockatiel in a cage with a sold sign, and I thought, "Hey, that's too bad, but he looks really pretty and well cared for..." and then I saw a little grey head.

And I was hooked.

The woman went to the back and got her out and she wasn't scared or nervous. And, as you can see from her picture, she is just beautiful. 

So, yeah, we are in love. Her name is Lulu.

It's bananas. 

Happy Monday!
