Outside of the initial set up of purchasing a cage, toys , food and paper, adding a pet Parakeet or two to your home is a rather inexpensive project. The maintenance is much less than many pets, but the return is well worth it.
Laura had grown up with birds and it seemed to me in our animal menagerie that a bird was way to far down on the food chain to be safe in our environment! Today, is a different matter and I set up the cage and Laura chose who she would like to have in the home. Laura likes to find birds with spunk… and these two are a handful!
So, after 40 years it is nice that I can still do something to make my spouse smile like a child in wonder.
