I'm bad... I admit it... I did the same thing

Exactly, Rosie is my first Tiel and I spent so much time online trying to learn to care for her, I ask all the questions I have on this board, I buy books, anything I can get my hands on to learn more about doing the right thig for her is always interesting to me.

Those poor birds. I'm glad shes good to them but if they are being in a unhealthy enviorment then that love won't last long cuz they won't either.

And I agree I love to buy Rosie stuff. My little tarzan loves her hanging toys and stuff.. I always tell my mom that shes teething cuz she likes to bite on everything.

If I did not clean his cage, it did not get cleaned. I went to the library and looked at books about tiel care, and I learned how to care for him properly. True, I was well intentioned, but the first few weeks of his care while I was learning was probably not what they could have been... but I learned. If I can do this at 11, don't think it is too much to expect to do at 40.

I saw a budgie in the pet store the other day hanging off of a ring by its feet upsidedown, and I thought of your Rosie ... Bubba doesn't do that.
