While I was down in Texas I met up with my Best Friend from my Childhood, Holly, and we decided to go to PetSmart so that I could find some toys for the birbs (Because Santiago has such a small collection of toys) and I had a wonderful experience with a Special little Conure. They called her Mina and she was lovely. I stopped by and gave her a slight glance as I stooped down to look at the little baby budgies they had...and then proceeded to the Bird Aisle (after gushing over the Buds a bit)..I picked up some things (pictures of those are in the picture/video part of the forum) and then started to walk past her enclosure to the register...
When all of a sudden I heard, "tap tap tap." She was hitting her beak on the glass. I turned and watched as she rubbed her head on the glass and tapped again. So I gently placed my finger on the glass and watched her rub her little head against the glass...she wanted scritches....I turned to my friend and gushed over how sweet she was...and got a very lovely surprise Christmas gift!
You see my friend used to work at PetSmart, the one we were in, (as a Dog Groomer) and her friend was on duty at the time. So she got the keys and I got to go in and HOLD this little Conure! Oh she was so sweet and tame...I wanted her then and there...I felt like we were meant to meet each other...
Best and worst day of my life because she cost $400.00 USD and I couldn't get the paperwork done or even want to put her through all the stress of bringing her back to South America. I literally fell in love with her, and felt so heartbroken especially when I realized how sweet she was...how much attention she wanted...and that most likely someone had brought her back...how many times had she been brought to a home and then brought back to be so tame? The Man working with them didn't know where she came from...or maybe he didnt want to say.
She was so lovely and sweet...I can only hope that she finds a home worthy of her...and that they treat her with loving care,respect, and are knowledgeable... I still think about her everyday...I'll never forget her..not ever 💔

I know how you feel; you always want to bring at least one home with you.
