No Name

We decided since we can't have a cat or dog we would look at birds. We went to the pet store a couple times but never bought one. We got a message that one of our friends was going to sell his bird. So we decided to go see it. We were curious to see how he would respond to the kids and if he was nice. He did really well with the kids and only jumped when he would see a ball tossed up into the air. Well, as you can see, he came home with us. I keep saying he but the gender is un-known as well as his new name. It is a red bellied conure and can be potty trained as well as taught to speak. I am not sure how to do either yet but we are going to try. Right now he is still a tad moody and we have to train him not to bite. Almost always it doesn't hurt but we want to teach him it's not ok. From what we were told we can get a squirt bottle and spray him, her, it? :) Or just reward it with treats when its being good.

That is neat. Beat the kids love it. So how old is it? So now is the fun job of coming up with a name. I will be waiting on pins and needles waiting for the news.
