Had a phone call last evening. I had advertised my friends blue and gold
macaw babies and I take the calls as he keeps rather a lot of valuable birds
and is afraid of bird thefts. So, the call goes like this. caller:" 'ave you
got any of them macoys?"

Hi. I used to read here several years ago, but did not have time to
keep up with all the messages. However, I'm hoping perhaps someone
can help me.
Bandit, my 9-year-old budgie, died last Friday. A few years back,
