I'm Valerie, and I'm new, yet not so new. I've been hanging around the site for a while with my Dad Joe. I have to say thanks to all of you for enriching my Dads life 10 fold with this wonderful forum. When he got Hemingway he wanted to do all the right things for him so he went searching for information on the internet, like all new bird owners do, and found all of you. What a GREAT day that was! Not only has he gained a new friend with Hemingway, but an entire network of friends with all of you. I've seen him sitting in his chair in front of his computer laughing from his belly, tears streaming from his eyes, unable to control his happiness. So yes, you're a TERRIFIC BUNCH and I am looking forward to getting to know you myself.
