"I have scanned some pictures of the cutest thing you will ever see! Her name is Screech Eileen and she’s a cockatiel. She’s white, not yellow (she’s scared of yellow. LMAO!), but her feathers come in white and turn yellow. hee hee She has deformed feet (her momma was from a birdie mill), once had a hole in her head cause my other birdie (R.I.P. Spazz Matilda) pecked her, and she only has one wing… But she’s my baby. Anywho. While we were going to Santa Barbara last month, we stopped by Pismo Beach and I had to see if Screechie would go on sand. Well, she did and she liked it a little too much!"

"I usually close it quickly and pretend I didn't see it. When I moved to Vicksburg, I had two cats and a bird. I had cared for several kittens and cats, and I considered myself a pro at caring for animals. Little did I know of the nature of birds. Adopting a sun conure into a house with two cats wasn't the smartest thing I've ever done, but it was one of the most educational. Sun conures are beautiful parrots about the size of a cockatiel. They typically have brilliant yellow bodies with orange heads and wings in gradated shades of blue and green. He came into our lives when he was just five weeks old."

"So for my birthday this weekend, one of my friends gave me "the cockatiel handbook" which is a pretty decent book, even though it focuses a lot on breeding. She asked if I had it already, and I said "no, I dont think so" I lied! I totally have it already! It was such a thoughtful gift, though, I didn't want to seem ungrateful. Now, I'd hate her to find the two copies lying around the house (I have parties occasionally) so I thought I'd pass on the love - anyone who wants it, send me your address, and I'll mail it to you. I live in Toronto, so I'll send it anywhere in canada or the states."

Update on Belina!
From: www.livejournal.com

"Whoops, a little late on the update! Things have been a bit busy, but all has mellowed out now.

Belina went to the vets this week, and she checked out to be okay. The doctor said that it could have been stress from laying eggs, as well as stress from me being home and being in and out of the room all the time. She's on antibiotics, and will be getting two drops for about two weeks. My parents were kind enough to bring her and give her the drops! I had many friends lined up, ready to bring her to her doctor, which was a wonderful thing.

Thank you all very much for your concern and your advise! It sounds like Belina's going to be just fun! :)"
