Hi my name is Angela I also go by Katyonka. I found that i loved birds in 1996. Before that I never had thought I would want a bird around. I am a cat person from the get go and never thought the two should mix.
Well my exhusband said that since I got to have all the cats he should get a bird. So he got two Parakeets. And I FELL IN LOVE! They were so cute and that is when it started!
My life changed from that moment on to having to have a bird in my life. At this moment I have 8. My African Grey who had be abused but fell in love with me so I had to take her. She is my big baby and her name is Sweets. My daughters bird Clover who is a peach front Conure and then I have two cockatiels and 4 parakeets.
I used to have more but my7 exhusband hated the birds :-( funny how he got me started on them but then he didn't like him. Again I say EX husband!
My husband now loves the birds and we have just started rescuing them again. We had Sweets when we got together but we have since rescued the others and bought one cockatiel.
I used to live in Federal Way Washington and spent alot of time at my friends bird store ( The Bird Cage) I found it was my favorite place to be.
I also have 2 kids a 16 year old daughter, a 12 year old son and then I have 3 cats, Barney, Raven and shadow, We also have three geckos and one frog. We really do live in a Jungle!

Hi Angela , once you get one, you always want one more, then you start getting MBS (multiple Bird syndrome) most of us here have it too Some more seriously than others, but we try and support each other in the tough times, like going into pets shops.. welcome and enjoy the forum ;D look forward to hearing about your fids
