Birdie, a male budgie is approaching 8 years of age, as new Millennium begins. Birdie was purchased by Bonnie, sometimes described as "the daughter." Bonnie named the new arrival "Gazette", finger trained him, and left for college. Now she claims we completely changed Birdie's personality. Right! By the way, Birdie answers to "Cutie" and does not speak a word of English. There's no need to. He's taught us to communicate in Bird. He does understand important, to him, English words.
Birdie's hobbies include playing with his collection of pocketbooks, coins, jewelry, watches, and anything else he can hurl off a dresser or bed and carry. I own more watches than should be necessary thanks to this affliction. While it is hard to believe, he watches (no pun) until I close my eyes before making off with a watch. If I open my eyes, he drops the watch until I close my eyes again. Sharon says this is all quite normal.
But don't tell me, putting on makeup is normal. FYI, he takes things by grabbing them with his foot and dragging them to where he wants to go. Birdie has a cousin Fonzie, a Quaker, who can be found at http://www.quakerville.com/fonz. Ginny, our cat in residence, heard that a Quaker has much more meat than a budgie but might also have a much bigger and stronger beak! |
This is our first born.
Scott lives in the "Big Apple", close to the home of the NY Yankees. He claims the convenience to the stadium has nothing to do with choice of address. His vocation is video editing and production and is always interested in freelance opportunities. E-mail to Scott. He assembles and edits video packages for a NYC cable station. Bonnie graduated from the University of MD's school of Journalism. Her major was advertising. She works in the advertising Dept of a major computer magazine in NYC.

| Ginny is about 12 years old. She hung around the
outside of our house for 8 or so years mooching meals and an occasional trip to the Vet
for shots and/or life saving treatment. Her hobbies included taking apart rabbits
and chipmunks. Her career goal was to displace Chubby, the Senior Inside Resident Cat
. Chubby passed away, at the age of 17, in October of 1995. Ginny retired to
the inside of the house within 2 days of Chubby's passing. This is Ginny earlier that
summer looking for a fresh snack. While it is not obvious, Ginny still had her
girlish figure then. What is more obvious, is that meeting Ginny in a dark alley should
not be done lightly.
Ginny, post retirement, may be seen below. Note, the new look despite an involuntary coexistence agreement, of sorts, with Birdie. Her hobbies have dwindled to two: Eating and asking for more food. Note in this picture, some of Birdie's pocketbooks. One may conclude that Birdie has found something else to occupy his time while the cat is on the bed.
