I like that quilt a lot.
You obviously are a loving bird "parent". Both of our sweet rescue Amazons had to have other homes because my asthma/COPD kept getting worse. I miss them, but I know they went into loving homes and are at least as well off as they were with us. I don't miss cleaning cages or the oral reminders of the abuse the older parrot lived with before we got him. I do wish people would not have parrots OR CHILDREN when they are not ready to give them a loving home and we know the time commitment with parrots is much longer.

The first time we took the older parrot (10 at the time) to a bird vet for a checkup, the vet said the parrot before ours was a very healthy 105 and making life difficult for the elderly spinster who was the grandchild of the original owner, a tramp ship's captain. The parrots swore fluently in at least 5 languages.
