Uh oh...


Daughter and I went to a bird show yesterday.  No intention of buying a bird of course!  We had a lovely look around at all the pretties, and I got to meet a few folk off Smiley's bird forum.  :~D

But this little darling was irresistible!  Full of personality and the prettiest blue I've seen in a Quaker parrot.  Handraised, so she's very friendly, and she has been DNA sexed, so we know for sure she's a girl.  And we got her for half the price we'd usually pay for a hand-reared Quaker.  So what if we have to live on soup for the week?!  Heh.

Now we just need to give her a NAME.  ;~P


She has the most gorgeous, growly sort of voice, and does this little chirrup that sounds for all the world like "Uh oh!"  XD

What a gorgeous little girl! Can't wait to see what you name her. That plumage is just unbelievable with the soft blues and greens she looks like a painting with beautifully blended colors. Congrats on the new pet!

Thanks! At the moment daughter is favouring 'Evie,' so hopefully we'll know soon!
