I found a book called "Feathers of Hope," about the bird/human connection in the true life setting of a bird sanctuary in upstate NY. The whole topic is interesting--how we relate and communicate with each other. I bet many people have some sort of story about their own eperiences with birds.

Obviously, you've never been in a room with a bunch of parrot owners. There's no "some" about it...  |

Your post doesn't make any sense.  |

I used to do a bit of parrot rescue, Coco was a basket case !
There was a time when I had the wherewithal to rescue parrots from swap meets and bad pet stores and try to rehabilitate and re-home them. 
This bird shown below had a meal of my roommates little juvenile Half-moon conure when he went to work leaving his cage open.
Lovely story huh ? Pretty bird though, it has a good home and we now have a nice little Yellow Sided Green Cheeked Conure that talks up a storm unless someone other than us are present.

Our 5 year old baby "Peekaboo" ~♥~ We love her. She bikes and kayaks with me.

Does anyone know why another thread about what Budgies eat other than the "usual" was closed? I was going to post and then noticed it had been suddenly closed.
Anyway, I'm glad to have stumbled upon this thread! I'm horrified at the poor little HalfMoon's demise. It happens though. I know my Senegal would kill my parakeet if I gave him the opportunity. I used to let the parakeet fly free until my Senegal drew blood from poor Charlie. Charlie has now been cage bound for the past 4 years. He loves his "big brother" and won't stay away from TwoBee so caged he stays.
I adopted a Funch last year from PetSmart because the bird was usellable. Another Finch had ripped a hole in the back of Sunny's neck and it could not be closed up without major surgery. So I provided her with a loving home for the 6 months she lived. That was 6 months more than I thought I would have her.
Need I mention I love birds? I would not have oodles of them like some do but I sure basically love 'em all.
Oh, in case the person who was wondering what Budgies eat, my guys both love fresh and dehydrated bananas, peaches, cornbread, pasta, potato chips (unsalted), wheat crackers. Stuff like that.

My old roommate was enthralled with my amazon, Theo, and got a green cheek conure from Petco after a bunch of research and my own encouragement; I'm from a parrot family, and my mom has an adorable little green cheek.
Her bird - named "Cricket," after my parents' green cheek - was one of the sweetest birds I've ever met. Even for a generally snuggly breed, Cricket was especially cuddly and would burrow under my collar or in her hair. Only a few weeks after she got him, I got up and found him dead in the bottom of his cage. I'd seen him on the perch not 20 minutes before when I got up to use the bathroom, and had no idea what happened... we were both crushed. It turned out he'd had in infection that had been gestating for months before we got him. It absolutely crushed my roommate, who has only ever had cats and dogs otherwise. Losing any pet is hard, but birds bond to you in a very unique way...
I had a cockatiel from the age of 9 till 21, and she was truly one of the best friends I've ever known. I miss her as much as I miss human relatives and friends who have passed away, and learned more from growing up with her than most people would imagine you could from a little yellow bird.
