    Oooooh, I bet that sweet little Creamino was just adorable. Yellow birdies are the best and I bet Ditto would love to converse with another yellow birdie Like Jen said "GET THE CREAMINO"!!

    Dave,
    The bird store problem has a good solution! I buy everything I need at a feed supply store. No birdies for sale there! If they don't have what I want, they special order it for me! The only temptation I run into there are baby chickens and baby ducks... Sometime ask me about the 6 baby bantum chicks I brought home because they could not compete with the larger baby chickens for much needed food! Once they grew up, I found them a home with a local farmer but I couldn't leave them where they were. I've been told I need a sign for my front door that reads:
    Linda's home for animals in need....

    There are no bad birds, just misunderstood ones.

    LOL!

    Better than the sign on my forehead that only the birds can read:

    I have SUCH a hard time going to the bird store... there are 4 near me and each one is bigger and better than the last...

    But for now, it's just myself and Beetle-bird... although I'm tempted from time to time as well

    Dave: You don't need that creamino. You need a lutino!! And your in luck as I happen to have a nice little handfed lutino girl looking for a nice boyfriend to snuggle up with when she's not tormenting us humans. I'll go ahead and check flights to PA and tell her all about you and ditto .

    I now try to avoid petstores at all cost. When we take Pheobe back to the vet in a couple of weeks, I will have a look at the bird food they sell. If they don't have what I am looking for or anything that my birds would be happy with, I will then order online. I do not need another bird right now, nor do I have the space until the kids move out.
    This is the second time that I get a bird from a store because it is injured. I have an urge to fix broken things and so does my husband. I cannot stand seing injured or neglected animals and I cannot NOT say a thing. Once I open my mouth, I am commited. And I think the petstores know that by now.

    As for the little creamino, Dave, I would say go for it. I can tell you they are rewarding and absolute sweetheart. I know Ditto would welcome the company during the day, when you are not home. You cannot take the chance that an uneducated person takes that little birdie home. It deserves a happy life, you know and the only way you know that little yeller birdie will have that is to take it home to Ditto. Between the two of you, that little yellow birdie will be well taken care of.

    Regards,
    Elle

    The creamino sounds so cute. I would say just get it.

    I was in Petco yesterday and their birds are usually pretty skittish, but there was a green-cheek conure that walked right up to my boyfriend and I. Then the sucker that we are, asked to see the bird. He was a sweetest little guy, he was playing on our arm. When put back into his cage, he was rolling over and his back and saying, "look at the tricks I can do, pls take me home." It was hard but we resisted the temptation.

    These birds weren't even in cages. They're just begging me to snatch them up.

    At least ya don't work in a petstore! I'd take all the birdies home if I could. So far, I've gotten only two (I'd say that's pretty good). But if an injured bird comes in, I have to take it.

    But anyways, I'm thinkin' Ditto bird needs a playmate.
