A Special Day
Today is the long awaited day, my family will go pick up a baby Parrotlet for my Daughter Meaghan (8 yrs old).
A few months back, we lost her Parrotlet Pixel.
Sweet Pixel, now at Rainbow Bridge
Now if you are not an 8 year old, nor a bird person, then you may not understand how much loosing your Companion Parrot makes you feel. As a mom, my heart broke for her the night Pixel went to The Bridge. All I could do, was hold and rock her and wipe away her tears. Of course the next morning, I immediately put out the word for local breeders..
Miss Meaghan has waited through clear eggs, parents going off the nest, and just waiting for eggs to be laid! It's only been a few months.. but when you are 8, it's a lifetime.
We are getting our baby from a good friend of mine Suz from Sunshine Aviary in Springfield. She breeds many different parrots, is very reputable and has healthy babies. I highly recommend her.
Meaghan has NO idea we are going today. As a matter of fact, she asked me yesterday to write to the breeder ladies, to see if there were eggs yet. I lied, and told her.. no eggs yet sweety.
It's been KILLING me not to tell her. I just know that today is going to be one of those days, when the look on your childs face, makes all your other worries disappear.
