Oh, Rosie the lovebird is absolutely wonderful. She's really come into her own. Actually,
she's spoiled rotten. I couldn't have asked for a better companion. She goes to the church
with me every morning and sits on my shoulder.
Rosie is so cool. Last night she slept on Mike's chest while we watched a movie. She didn't
just shut her eyes, she tucked her head under her wing and zzzzzzed out! Mike's never seen
anything like her. What a trip!
Thanks again for this cutie! I love her so much!

Hello Mrs Christine,
I am just writing you to let you know that Saphire is just so wonderful. She is a little nippy but
she's getting out of that and she loves Honeybee just as much as the rest of us. She was bought for
my husband but became more attached and lovable to my son instead. She is so cute. A+ once
again. You're the best. We can't thank you enough.
Love,
The Winneberger's and most importantly, Honeybee & Saphire

Hello!
I FINALLY got some pictures on my computer.
Midori has adjusted extremely well to her new home and is, well, spoiled
rotten. She loves her veggies and the endless amount of attention everyone
gives her. We've noticed she loves sitting at the window talking to the
birds outside and I believe she is jealous of the TV...she'll sit in front of
it, chirp and dance until we pay her attention. She knows "down" and
she's getting pretty good at "stay," although I know she'd rather just ride
on my shoulder where ever I go. She's a wonderful, playful and energetic
bird and has made our home more lively in the process. You raised her so
well! I already have friends interested in parrotlets (and their HUGE,
loveable personalities) and I have passed good word of you and your
work to them. Thank you for all that you have done! I will be in touch
and will certainly update you on her future achievements as the newest
(and cutest) member of my family.

Hi Christine. Just an update on Cooper. He's just the best bird! I am so in love
with him! He does the cutest things. Let's see... he hates his bird gym I bought
him - you put him on it, and he wants off immediately! It's kind of funny. Too
bad I spend $60 for it, huh? Oh well, I'll keep trying him on it and maybe he'll
get used to it.
He's eating like a champ now. He makes all kinds of noises for me. My hubby
says he's mostly quiet during the day while I'm at work, but the minute I get
home, he starts chattering. He sounds like a crow! We make sure that when
anyone comes into the house that they take him out of his cage. I want him to
get used to all different people. Of course, when someone comes in, the first
thing they do is open his cage. He's more than happy to oblige them and "step
up". My hubby even took him out today while I was at work - I didn't know
what to say when he told me that. Even he loves him - how cool is that?
He loves to run along the back of the couch. And my favorite thing he does is
wherever he is, if I put my hand down (pinkie finger side down) and curl my
fingers a little bit, he comes running as fast as he can to put his head into my
hand so he can get his head rubbed. It's pretty funny. He will stop whatever
he's doing to come running. Tonight we
had a pretty bad storm and lost our power. He took a nap under my chin all
curled up in my hands. God, he's so sweet!!!!! Do I sound like a proud
mommy???

I credit you with his sweetness. He was obviously very loved by you, and is just the sweetest bird I've ever had. I tell everyone
about you and your birds. Who knows, maybe I'll be able to send you a customer or two. I'd love to! When I get pix
developed, I'll send you some of him with his new family, since I don't want to email them. He's really a sweetie pie. I'm glad
your hubby is proud of his name. I think it suits him, and he seems to know it already.
I'll keep you updated, I promise! Thanks again - he's just the best! We're all in love with him.

Hi Christine,
Thank you so much for sending us Abby's baby pictures!
She is such a little sweetheart. She was very quiet for the first few days but is
quickly developing her Quaker personality (lol). She is definitely a little green
chicken (scared of anything new) and a snuggler (she snuggles under my chin and
falls asleep each evening while we watch TV). She's already a closet laugher and is
using her different chirps to let us know what she likes and doesn't like.
We can't thank you enough for being the wonderful person that you are and raising
our little Abigail to be such a cool bird. We'll bring her to visit you the next time
we're in Frederick. Hope you and all of the birds at the aviary are doing well.
Love,
The Wilson Family

Hello Christine
Thank you so much for being the best breeder ever. I thought that getting another bird
that was hand raised was going to be a lost cause especially an Amazon. I am so glad
that I found you. I feel now that I have someone that I can turn to if I need advice or
just a little encouragement. I see you with him and it makes me happy knowing that he
was not stuck in some cage only being handled to be hand feed. He has a GREAT start
in life and will continue to have one. I could never pay you back for the wonderful job
that you have done with Beaker.
Thanks so much,
Mattie

UPDATE...
Just wanted to drop you a line to say that Midori is doing great! She is such a wonderful addition to our family. Last fall, I went
back to Salisbury for the school year and Midori stayed with my family while I got things back into gear. Haha, she's not much of
a traveler, but she's gotten much better :) While I was away, apparently my brother goofed up and walked outside with her on his
shoulder (she's out of her cage more often than not) and forgot she was there. Well, guess who can fly?! She perched herself up in
one of our cherry trees. I bet it was a sight to see my father get out the ladder and climb the tree to get her back! I guess she knew
she had it good where she was because he had no problems getting her to hop on his finger and come back inside! Haha! Well,
she has learned to say "kiss kiss." Also, I don't know where she picked this sound from, but she must think she's an african grey
because that girl can scream all kinds of exotic noises I didn't think were possible from such a little bird! We just say she thinks
she's tough...she's not (but don't tell her that).
I don't know if you remember, but when I came to see your baby parrotlets, I decided I wanted the who had the "biggest attititude"
with me. She has SUCH a big personality, so I'm glad I made the right choice. Midori likes to challenge me at times but I'm sure
she knows I'm the supplier of all things delicious. It's gotten ridiculous to the point where my parents actually let her eat at the
dinner table with them (a perch off to the side where she'll get some of what they're having).
When I come home, sometimes I'll take a nap on the couch and I'll open her cage door--99% of the time she'll fly out, find a place
to cuddle and fall asleep with me. She actually like to "fetch" but I'm not sure if it's because she wants to play with me or she just
likes going after things I throw. Hahaha. She has grown into such a good companion, and better yet--a friend.

UPDATE...
Hi there. I don't even know where to begin to update you on Marnie. He is
just the sweetest, cuddliest, cutest, gentlest little guy. I don't think there is a
mean bone in his body! What a personality has emerged since he arrived! He
now comes right out of his cage - you were right - I just let him come out by
himself and eventually he started to fly to me on the couch, and now he steps
right into your hand to come out. It's awesome! He's a momma's boy too
though - if anyone else talks to him he runs to the back of his cage and hides
behind his mirror that swivels. I think he thinks it makes him invisible. He
absolutely hangs on my every word though. Oh, and you're right - he doesn't
want to go back into his cage when the time comes. If I wasn't afraid he'd get
on Cooper's cage, I'd just let him hang out on his own, but he has jumped onto
Cooper's a few times, and Cooper has already made a move to bite his foot.
Fortunately, Cooper knows what "no no" means, and he stopped right away.
Anyway, I'm not willing to tempt fate in that way. So Marnie only gets to come
out when I'm around. The other night, he found that he could run up my t-shirt
sleeve and come out the neck. He must have done that 25 or 30 times in a row.
He was having a great time, and it was just the cutest thing! Can you tell I'm
in love again?? Oh, and we're starting to see a little peach coloring come out
above his one eye. He's just too cute!

As for Cooper, he just continues to amaze us. He now says "Hi Marnie" in the same tone of voice that I use. Cracks me up!
Ed and I tried to count how many different words he says, and gave up at around 60. I know he says more than that, but we
got sick of trying to remember them all. He's still my baby - I just LOVE him to pieces.
One of these days I'm going to take some pics of them both and send them down to you. It's just so awesome to have them!
I'm so glad I found you - you and all your birds are the best!
