Ohio Bird Fair

Attended the Ohio Bird Fair in Columbus today and it was nice to see a wide selection of birds, most seemed to be healthy, with knowledgable breeders (some more than others). It would be interesting to see how much information they give about respective birds (do you really want that Umbrella Cockatoo Mildred?) when the cash is flashed.

There was a really nice couple there from Indiana. Their birds looked fabulous, clean and I wasn't surprised to learn, with documentation, that all had been vet-checked the previous day and given the A-Okay. Anyway, I bought a sweet little Fisher's lovebird. (This photo link is not my bird, but a twin.) I couldn't resist as I've been drawn to lovebirds for a few years now, have been reading up on them, and the price was right. Little Ruby is beautiful and will be a nice addition to our little family.

She already has her own curtain rod in the kitchen window and will hopefully spend many happy minutes there. She's already claimed the back of the office chair as her domain, so, like a little good-luck charm, she sits there in glorious green, orange and red splendor.
