Perhaps we should start an Adopt A Pet Thread!

Lucy and Ethyl sound great! Even though I find chihuahuas to be a bit irritating most of the time.

I'm up to my ears in dogs and cats as it is. :cool:

Yes!

The owner dropped him off, and didn't even give a name. :(

For now, the vet techs are calling him "Mel".

He's really sweet. I saw him last night. (I'll post pictures and video once I get to work.)

He's been through a lot, so he'll need some good attention. He doesn't bite, and is a real lover - he loves to be petted for a long time. Because of neglect, he is not yet hand-trained. He doesn't understand to perch on your hand, so that will take a bit of training.

But, he does talk. He says "hello", "I love you", and a few other words. He also loves bobbing his head while saying, "Hello, hello, hello!"

An important thing though - if you take him, Rose needs to wash thoroughly before handling any birds at the pet store, or not handle the birds at all. Although, most pet shop birds are immunized at the breeder before they arrive. It is contagious through the dust (dander).

Just let me know, and I'll PM you the contact info for the vet's office. :)

Here he is! :) (Pardon the crappy cellphone photo/video.)
