Yes, she is a parakeet, they are great buddies. This is my third one Kiwi had her 6 yrs. Sky lived 10 yrs. (they both didn't talk) Maybe my new bird will talk, she sings and very active and cute! Cookie

Cookie at the time i had mine i was a stay at home mom (a million yrs. Ago) and i had all the time in the world to play with gabby and talk and pal around with my buddy. I bet it would be hard to train one with-out that kind of time. But i love birds, thay can be such terrific friends and companions! Their cages may get a little dirty at times and alot of work vaccuming up after them, but it is worth it when you get a good one!

I actuall caught one wild one time (my daughter helped me) it was solid yellow and wild, but it made a great pet, not at all tame like gabby was though. I did work at the time and could not spend quality time with "sunny" that was her name, had i had the time to spend with her i am sure we would have bonded!

I Love all birds, that's cute story about Sunny. We saw a wild parakeet this summer to it was green but didn't stick around very long to catch. I missed having a bird around so I bought Skippy.I thought about calling her Sunny because she has a yellow head but she has a lot of green in her, She's really hyper she's a young bird & looks like she's skipping all the time. lol Cookie

I've shared this before, but I had a pair of salt n' pepper miniature schnauzers named Lilly & Iris that my sister's family watched for me during my long, frequents work-hitches up in Alaska.

When I returned back here to live full-time last Spring, I relished the idea of being near my pair of puppies full-time... but I couldn't do it. Couldn't take then back from my niece and nephew who'd been taking care of them for so long.

So, the dogs remain at my sis's and I wanted another dog- but adopted a pair of cats, instead. Here's their pic...

Oh, they are so cute!! Cookie
