Still the best decision I ever made though.

She's not quite as fluorescent as she seems, but she's certainly as colourful. It's astonishing!
How's life with a lory? Very...liquid? I've never paid them much mind, but I've met a few duskies in recent months and have been overwhelmed by their character.
Yes, I imagine trying to find an unclipped scarlet macaw baby would have been a herculean task. Especially with their reputation - though I think that's largely undeserved. All I know is that Shroedinger is exceptionally beautiful, and I want to steal him for snuggles. :)
You're so lucky you have so many birds available to you! Although, it's a mixed blessing, I suppose, because easily available birds means easily discarded birds. :( But in Australia it can be darn impossible, for genuine, caring owners, to find certain species without having to sell their organs for funding.
