How funny it is to hear him tell her "Deli..meow, meow, meow...your a good girl"!! For anyone who has never had a bird, they are wonderful pets and companion for a person who doesn't mind some extra work cleaning cages! Wouldn't live without them now!! >^.^< CharmaineAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6382480381687088490.post-82074565203552693742013-03-23T14:35:23.158-05:002013-03-23T14:35:23.158-05:00I had a lot of birds when I was younger, but I'...I had a lot of birds when I was younger, but I'm happy I never had these problems.
