Oooh, you're a fan of budgies /and/ David Boreanaz! I think we're best friends already.
There are a few of us Buffy people on the board but we hide!
It seems to be a habit of mine. Probably related to being a vet tech, I have personally seen so many hard luck cases... My snake (rosy boa) did come from a breeder, but all 3 of the cats were strays - one had clearly had a home, but the phone number on her collar was disconnected and nobody ever claimed her even though I posted her everywhere, another was just a stray intact female with a litter of tiny babies, the third was a stray kitten on my apartment complex, got him at about 5 months old. The bearded dragon was taken from a hoarder and placed with someone in a herptile group near me who didn't have the time she needed - she was scared to death of everything. Now she plays with the foster kittens through the glass of her tank. Yeah, I foster cats too, through a local no-kill shelter. When I decided it was finally time to get my bird, I didn't even think of going to a pet store, just started looking around Craigslist and such for one that needed rehoming. I don't know birds well enough to take a behavioral case (as with the beardie) or a sick one, but one just randomly homeless is right up my alley. Anyway, he's got his first (with me) vet appointment next Friday, so maybe they'll have some idea of how old he might be. Though I'm not holding my breath on that one. It's enough for me that they confirm that he's a boy, and healthy. Buffy, Angel, Firefly and Serenity... Anything by Joss, man! He's got a new series coming out, I can't WAIT. I did notice that he's recycling actors again - Faith and Fred offhand, and I know I saw a few others in the ads. ;)FWIW, I was perusing the picture forum, and my baby looks just like Vickyh's George.
lol, yes l do like David and budgies
