The day before Easter, Kristin and I went by Parrots of the World to pick up some more food for Misha, and while we were there we picked up our new baby daughter parrot, Sonja (her full name is Red Sonja Sample). She’s the same breed as Misha. All the girls are red and all the boys are green. Since the girls are usually less sociable and the dominant bird, it’s supposedly best to get them young (she’s only 6 weeks old) and with an older male already acclimated to the family, so that she’ll follow his lead immediately.
Another bonus: Misha seems enthralled with her. He hasn’t been acting out like he sometimes can. Instead, he just sits there in his cage, staring at her in her little tank.
Anyway, we’re happy new bird-parents. 😉
Update: Called the store to get Sonja’s birthday. She was born on February 28th!
