Petey is all settled in with us!! Joni was by at 11 this morning and we took well to us - so here is he! He is in his cage right now sitting by the couch watching TV with us now. The other pets (Cocker spaniel and 2 cats) are very interested, but have been behaving quite well so far. Wrigley is a worry-wort and has been pacing around wimpering. He is always like this when a new addition comes in so I am sure that he will settle down soon. I am sitting here with the squirt bottle as we speak in case I need to remind anyone that they can not stand up to look inside his cage. He is eating already and has been sitting on his boing. He hasn't really started playing with any toys yet though. He has been extremely quiet so far - only a few little squawks so far, but Joni says that he is usually extremely calm and quiet. Joni dropped Petey off to us and then was on her way to near Springfield to pick up a new rescue (Eclectus I think) so the cycle continues for her! I'll get some pics up this evening to show you him and his new cage.

I'm so glad Petey is settling in so well. I know you will enjoy!!! Congratulations. That Joni is one busy lady. She does a lot of good for the fids.

She is one brave lady too. I dont like driving very far from home by myself. If someone is with me i dont mind so much. If it is an eclectus that she is getting..i wonder if it is male or female. Hmmmm. May have to check that out.

Congratulations !!!!! I am so happy for you, and so glad things are going well...I have found life is not much fun without a Quaker.. even though it has been only 2 weeks since we got Kermit and he is our first..what a joy they are, um our 2 dogs and cocktiel and lovebird do not share in our excitment but they are coming along...

He's really come out of his shell in the last 2 hours! He's been chattering and has been crawling all over his cage and rattling his toys! We were making dinner in the kitchen and he was in his cage in the family room and he was calling to us and singing - it was awesome!!! Hehe

Congratulations! It sounds like Petey is going to fit in perfectly!

Congrats, isn't Joni great and the work she does rescueing fids is awesome, glad to see more fid lovers close to me, maybe we should set up a meeting and get together.
again congrats on Petey, will be waiting on those pics

I am soooo very happy to hear that Petey is settling in! I figured it wouldn't take long! Kristin and Ryan have a beautiful home that is extremely pet friendly, so I knew the second I walked in that it was a perfect match!

Can't wait to see those pics ... Thanks again for becoming Petey's forever parronts!

Hugs,
Joni

Here is is! I still can't get over how quiet he is! He got really silly last night around 7pm and we put him to bed at 9pm - we are keeping his cage in our bedroom at night and when we aren't home. He didn't make a sound this morning until I woke him up at 6:45am. I gave him new food and water and then I went back to bed since I am taking the day off of work. He ate a little and played for a while and then I think he went back to sleep too!! We got up at 9 and took his first bath. I don't think he liked it well! We'll here are the pics as promised! I'll be updating often I am sure since I am a very proud parent! The pics are of Kimmy and Maddie my cats, and then a few of Petey after his bath, and one of Petey playing and Wrigley watching - enjoy!

A couple of the pics didn't pop up here they are! I've got to get this figured out!

Well, I guess the on of Wrigley and Petey won't go...

Congratulations! Petey is settling in nicely

Petey is very cute, and so are your cats!

Thanks for sharing! ... Congrats!

Congrats on your new family member! I also adopted a feathered friend (Gus) from Joni- shes great and Im sure you will be happy with Petey!
