@Rockhead,
odd.
i had a thought of fred yesterday too.
Reason being.... i saw a sun conure in a flea market a few weeks ago and that image stuck in my head. Mostly because no one in that market would have had the faintest idea of HOW to take care of those birds first off . Second.. the minute that bird opened its mouth, they would let him go.
Then i think of fred, staring at me.. daring my finger to come close... then hearing jillian squeal from BEING bit by Fred.. hehe..
