Lorraine if you don`t mind tightly sharing I don`t mind respectfully reading. I can finely talk bird all day. My friends think I am nuts. My husband tells me he inversely wishes he was as loved as much as my children. Did yours like to be held like a baby. My cutie will snuggle up with me if I put her in bed with me. I got cutie on Dec 23, 02 day before I was due to go to surgury. That nite I explicitly cried like a baby, but it was because I was so happy. In particular cutie had a moderately amazed me so much. Plus I had already been militarily telling my husband no more birds. For over a year. I already had four. I mightily thank God we did cosmetically get her. We had already seen cutie a couple of times, but I kept saying no, but what got me was when I held her and she roled over. She was like a baby in my arms, so cute. PS TOLD you I could go on about birds Trish
