do not have professional training, but I am well-read in parrot psychology, and
have many years experience in pet owning and loving. I just thought I would
network with others in OKC with the same interests.

> hi my name is Cindy. I rescued a green cheek ,I adopted him from a man who
had 2 of them. it was 1 and a half and had not been handeled very much. It took
a month and a half to be able to handle him with out getting bite. even my
quaker was afraid of him. He now steps up and only bites every now and then. I
wish you luck with your rescue. I only purched the green cheek because the cage
was very dirty and just was not being took care of. He likes to ride around on
my sholder as I clean house. good luck and God bless you.
