I’m sure you will enjoy the story and pics, as I did. ^_^

Hi, Everyone;

Just popping round to say Hello.

For those of you who have never met Maxie;

What can I say? I love her so very much and I’m very proud of her. She knows 2-3 tricks now that I, unbelievably, have taught her

#1-She can wave Bye-Bye

#2 She will SPREAD HER WINGS on Command

For those of you who have had the pleasure of meeting her…I’m sure you were taken back by her and her tricks and her statements. Most times, when Maxie is introduced to someone she will say,

HELLO!

When you stare at her too long, she will say…”WHAT?”

Some times when people leave she will either wave or say… “BYE BYE”.

For the few of you who had the misfortune of being bitten by the ‘monster’…I’m so very sorry! HOPE TO SEE MORE OF YOU SOON!

All Our Love,

Even those I do watch are ususally at least a few years old by the time I get around to seeing it.

I just rented The Parrots of Telegraph Hill from Amazon, it was on sale for 99 cents so I couldn’t resist. ^_^

The credits are rolling as I type, and I can say it was worth the watch and definitely more than worth the $0.99 if you are into birds at all. The story flows nicely, lots of great parrots (mostly cherry head conures, but also some cockatiels, ‘toos, budgies and various others), and overall is a very beautiful film. I highly recommend it to all parrot and bird lovers.

It is still available at Amazon for rental (is at $2.99 now), download or purchase.

Check out the preview and links below:
