Andrew, I am very distressed about your Tui! She is indeed a special bird and I understand completely your "co-dependency" with her as I have the same relationship with my Mac. The difference being that I have a family here, whereas you don't. Once the kids are grown in a few years, it will be the bird, my hubby and me. Like you, I would not travel where I couldn't take him. Anyway, if I lived near you I would help you look for Tui....I guess your "friends" don't understand. Parrot people do, and we are all pulling for you to find Tui. God bless.

Oh this is so exciting! :ohmy: I have voted, although they all deserve to win!

I feel so sad about Tui flying away. Keep looking and if I was closer, I'd help you look. Maybe you could even get a local news station to talk about it, with all of your youtube posts, it would make a great human interest story and get the word out there. God bless, Andrew!

Thank you all for the nice welcome! I have had Mac since he was 4 months old and he will be 4 this September. My son bought him, then went off to college and now there is no question whose bird he is....Mom's! Mac is one of the greatest blessings in my life. He filled the need I had to continue nurturing a "child" after mine got older. His playstand is in my kitchen and we spend all day together. I know you all can understand the bond! As soon as I figure out how to work a digital camera, Mac will be posting his photos...he is indeed a handsome devil and will tell you so. God bless!

Hello Everyone! My name is Marti, and I have 2 "fids", a 3 year old CAG named Mac and a 12 year old cockatiel, Harley, that we rescued last summer. I am a HUGE animal lover, and our menagerie also includes 2 dachshunds, fish, a hamster and 4 sheep...they aren't allowed in the house, though It's great to find this forum, and I'm looking forward to getting to know you all and viewing the pictures of your gorgeous birdy babies! God bless, Marti
