Well, I just adopted my first FID... a Quaker.... she is a plucker. Yes, I've had her checked out... she is not ill. Thank Goodness. I have had no experience besides parakeets (budggies) and zebra finches. She is a sweetie - I've decided to name her Jinny (her given name too close to my roomate's and thus had to be changed). She is about a year old, loves to be petted, stays on the shoulder quite well and LOVES her bath times. She seems to ignore her toys... I am trying to get her involved but she seems to ignore or be fearful of all attempts. But i'm in love none the less. I welcome all advise... she is awsome. 
The rest of my family is 4 cats, Spookey, Vanyel, Mushi and Turnip (she just turned up at my door-step). I also have a blue heeler / wirehair terrier cross ( blue heeler markings and wirehair wiskers
) named Utopia (she was a rescue and already named) about 10 mo. old. About myself 37, single, male. I work in a call-center. I have about half an acre of garden that I garden and have a booth at the farmer's market. I sell the produce I grow as well as the semi- precious gem jewlery I make. my FLF (four legged Family) and New addition FID are precious to me. Hope to hear from you.
he really likes the small toys best.
