| This is me with Chip, apparantly before my love and fascination of birdies started! |
| Chip was my dad's bird, and his name went well because my dad's name is Dale. He was a really nice Quaker Parakeet, but he flew away one day and we never got him back... |
| ...however, about a year later, someone saw him flying around our area! |
| Always clip your birds' wings!!!!! It's not painless if you do it right, and it doesn't just help to keep them at home, but it also protects them from flying into windows. I had a young lovebird once that I loved very much, but he flew into a window so hard that he died. |
