Feather Brain

I'm getting a new bird tomorrow (sing, sing...lalalalalala). My new friend Jeff called me this morning and pleasantly asked me, "Do you want a bird?" I was stunned, shocked...mouth-gaping, breath-stopping, butt-clenching shock. "Whoa," I thought, "what kind of bird? Am I ready for this? Holy, great Googlymoogly!" So, my mouth says yes before my brain clicks on and now I am off tomorrow to Lubbock to collect one lonely and abused blue ringneck parrot missing a couple of toes and a good loving mom (pictorial documentation on return). I am so thrilled, excited, ecstatic I can hardly wait to get there and collect my prize.

Here's how this happens...

Mom receives Orange Wing Amazon in transaction with client.
I start talking to Mom again after 4 year estrangement.
I learn to LOVE Ecco, the parrot.
Struggling to find my bliss and make money doing so, I create India Pet Organics.
Mom hooks me up with local bird lady.

In a fit of insanity, I accept the responsibility of hand-feeding, -raising and socializing hundreds of conures, cockatiels and parrots.

I find my bliss.
Bird Lady becomes Crazy Bird Lady and goes tits up.
I go bonkers.
Mom goes to the mat for me and tells Crazy Bird Lady to "Shove your birds up your ass, you Bitch!"
I hang on to my bliss for the sake of my sanity.
Mom encourages.
I join Dallas and Fort Worth bird societies.
I meet Jeff, my new birdy friend.
I meet Jeff's extended and extensive family of loved ones - parrots, dogs, cats, chickens, and a big hairy thing called Tommy! (heehee, Jeffrey)
I rescue first parrot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The door just opened and I am by the gods stepping through it. No one can stop me now!
