Aww that was my first bird. My Abigail. I hand fed her right out of an egg. I had her four years and then became very ill. My stupid medical doctor swore it was "A Typical Pnemonia" He said that parrots carry a germ and some people are more suseptable to it. I was heartbroken when he said the only way I'd get better was to find her a new home. I was getting sicker and sicker. Anyway, we found a semi retired couple that fell in love with her and gave her and all her stuff to them. A month later we found out it was not Abigail that made me sick. I had leukemia that my doctor missed. My husband called the couple and offered them $2,000 to buy her back but they got very attatched and would not give her back. My heart was so broken. After, I recovered from the Leukemia, my husband took me for a drive one day and we ended up in the front of a house and I had no idea why. Turned out he bought a beautiful baby U2 (Umbrella Cockatoo) for me for our 20th Wedding Anniversary. We walked into this house and I had no idea why we were there. And, then out comes this baby U2 who proceeds to walk over to me and lift my glasses up and say "Hi." My husband then said to me; "I know it will never replace Abby, but I also know that you always wanted a Cockatoo so rather then get you another sun conure with a constant reminder of Abby, I got you the U2 you always wanted." The day I drove home with her, she sat on my shoulder dancer to Maggie May by Rod Stewart. She is so sweet and despite what people say Boo does not scream all day long. She's pretty quiet for a Too.
