"Flying is learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss." - Douglas Adams "Duct tape is like the force. It has a light side, a dark side, and it holds the world together."
"The road to success is always under construction."
“Those who hate most fervently must have once loved deeply; those who want to deny the world must have once embraced what they now set on fire.” - Kurt Tucholsky
"English doesn't borrow from other languages. English follows other languages down dark alleys, knocks them over, and goes through their pockets for loose grammar."
"Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway."
"Money cannot buy you happiness: but it can buy you marshmallows -which is pretty much the same thing."
We now have TWO Sun Parakeets, also called Sun Conures.
They are small parrots from South America, are endangered, and cost about 800 to 100 dollars in a store.
They are said to be some of the most intelligent parrots, though they don't talk much.
They are quite loud for their size, and are very pretty.
(I haven't uploaded pictures yet, but I will soon!)
I was upstairs bathing Zeb and Rose while Quinn went downstairs to do something.... And I heard a lot of yelling. Then suddenly, Dad calls me down to come take some pictures with Mom's camera, there are parrots in our backyard.
So I'm thinking, "What?" I run downstairs while Quinn goes to take over bath-time; and I look outside, sure enough, on a tall tree in our backyard, are two yellow/orange/blue/green parrots.
I get the camera and start snapping away -though the pictures all seemed blurry -then, they fly onto our back deck, standing on the rails, staring at us!
I was taking more pictures, then the cats noticed -and you know them birds almost became supper.
We got the cats inside, while the birds flew into another tree. They swirled around a bit, flying onto our jungle-gym, etc. Then they came back onto our porch.
They were squawking and chattering, then they looked and flew down to the ground and just hopped around. Dad tossed some feed down there, and they pecked around a bit, not really going anywhere.
My dad walks down there with more seed and feeds them right out of his hand! Then he grabs them both, sticks them in Sandy's old cage -and Ta-da! We now have two endangered parrots.
As soon as Dad caught them I went to find out what type they were: Sun Parakeets.
We told my Mom, who was out eating dinner with some friends, and she went to buy some feed at the pet-store.
Anyway.
They are eating and drinking fine; they seem to be a little mad at us...one of them squeals at us if we get close to the cage....
We are trying to find their owners, because they seem fairly tame, and are not wild around here. Though I have seen them at the pet-store before.
800 dollars to 1000. Firm.
Just a little bag of feed for them was 20 bucks.
That's a lot of money in bird!
I will uplaod pictures soon, but here is one from the internet, so you get the idea of what they look like:
(His name is Glitchen, by the way. I just finished drawing and coloring him. The picture isn't the greatest, but, meh. I didn't use a reference either.)
Hello, my name'sJournee. I live in the South, and love chickens, dogs, horses, Halo, haunted houses, fiction, and the TV show Psych.
Not your typical "teenage" girl, I only dress-up for weddings, funerals, and fine steakhouses. None of which I've ever been to!
My favorite color is blue, and I love to read. I like Ford trucks, and Mustangs. My favorite Nascar racer is Mark Martin. Also, I sometimes have psychic visions.
I'm a member of Civil Air Patrol, and believe in good leadership, being friends with everyone, and not faking it, because that makes no sense anyways.
I'm homeschooled, and also the oldest of seven kids; I have what must be the best family in the world---and no, I'm not biased.
