G'day

Hey guys, it's Julie here (eg., CheekyAndMalolo from the other forum).
I'm sure most of you don't need to hear all about my birds again, but I'll tell anyway for people who I may not know.
I'm Julie, 21, from Victoria, Australia.
I have 6 birds and a horse; Tim (Red Wing Parrot), Prince (Princess Parrot), Malolo and Chicken (Tiels), Aurora (Yellow Sided GCC) & o'Tika (Pineapple GCC).
Oh and horse is a 13yr old TB gelding named Sahara.

Welcome! How'd you find us?

Yes! How DID you find us? We're so glad you did!!!

Oh yeah!

It's REALLY good to see you again!

Can't believe that you guys actually got banned, is he seriously reading pm's?? Maybe I'll start writing some things really controversial in my pm's, see what kind of reaction I get.
It's nice to see you guys too, altho to be honest I go on there so rarely I had no idea you were gone

Hey Julie,glad you found us,how are things downunder?Hope all the fids are well.If you don't mind PM hannahbird and give her my email,i saw she was PMing me,I'd tell you to give her this site but that's what got some of us banned ,anyway thanks, captrwest@gmail.com ,and welcome to forum

Welcome over another Julie!! Great name

I still think a flock of hundreds of ravenous cockatiels is awesome

Not Tiel's, Cockatoos! Of the Sulphur Crested variety, hundreds of Tiel's would be amazing tho!

Richard, I'll be sure to find Hannah and find a way to talk to her.

Welcome!!! I didn't realize you had such a big flock, that sounds like such a fun family And there's a few of us on here who have horses, too. Funny how those two go together, such an unlikely pair

And I've alwayed looooved loved loved Australia. Ever since I was little. I couldn't even tell you why. Rescuers Down Under, I guess. I'm just fascinated with the place. I wrote research papers on it, memorized the capitals... everything. I was even registered to go do a semester abroad up in Cairns when I was in school, but a few things came up in my life at the time that kept it from happening. One, day, though... I can't wait

^I went thru a phase where I was completely obsessed with Australia also. I've been an Anglophile for as long as I can remember.

Welcome julie...i am fairly new here too...it's great place to be


dusty

Don't know if I could call myself an anglophile, but I DO love both british and australian accents and think that we should go back to spelling words like neighbour and colour The business that I want to open one day is going to be Staccato Coffeehouse and Arts Development Centre.

...sorry to hijack your welcome, Julie... we do this a lot

Lyz, I will come be a barista for you, it is what I do best. I am a total bean freak. I'm even a certified barista, none of that Starbucks mess!


Sorry other Julie, we are um...random and spirited here! When do we get to see pics of your fids? I love pineapple conures!

Saweet!!! My hubby and I were both baristas and yes, friends don't let friends drink Starbucks... bleh. It's been a dream of mine for forever, coffee and art in the same place, it's gonna be awesome, haha. >>Staccato<<

Me tooo!! They are beautiful, but I think the fact that they're called pineapple makes me like them 10x more Julie, you need to go make a gallery for yourself so we can see your fiddies!!

It has always been my dream to open a coffeeshop and book nook. I wish I had a money tree.

I just turned down a pineapple conure from my breeder, and a blue quaker. I wanted them both so freakin' bad I am still in agony over declining them.

I just woke up and there's all this silly randomness being posted already! Love it!

Anywho. Hi Julie! Glad to have you and your flock!

Heya Julie!

Welcome to the loony bin!

Is you Prince tame? Just wondering what a tame princess parrot is like from an actual owner's experience.

I don't think he's reading Pm's, a mod even told us that he isn't remember?
I sent a few people links and sites that I honestly think would be beneficial to their situation, and I have not had my Pm capabilities taken away nor am I banned.

Welcome to the funny farm! A few of us didn't get banned and are still somewhat active. I'm feeling a little "looser" over here (I think they may want to send me back...)

I'm another horse person as is Roz (patdbunny). In fact I know WAY more about horses than birds, but I'm working on it.

Lyz, LOL on the spelling. When I was in Spain I worked with an older British professor type on some things and he used to love to tease me. He'd read a document draft and look at me over his glasses, pointing, "What is THIS? This isn't English... it must be AMERICAN". Too funny.

o'TikaandAurora, hi and welcome!
It's hard to remember your name now!
I'm glad you came here and I hope all my stupidity "there" wasn't for nothing.

You'd better stay! While I really enjoy and get a laugh out of our silly little yammer sessions, I really like that we can discuss things intelligently and possibly learn from our discussions. Without you we'd definitely be missing out.

Oh wow, woke up to lots of replies!
Richard: I've emailed Hannahbird with your email and a link for this website.
Roz: Yes Prince is tame/handreared, but he doesn't care for people all that much, every now and then he'll come and find you and steal your dinner or beg for kisses, but he spends most of his time being a brat and bullying the Tiels (he pulls their tails).
I'm a bit surprised that you guys are so keen on Australia, we've got horrible weather (pretty much been winter since december) and our prime minister is a bogan, BUT any of you ever come to Aus then we have to meet up

Just got back from out of town, good to have you here Julie!

SnS, no way are we sending you back! You're the only one keeping most of this lot grounded in reality

Lyz, us Canadians, being a Commonwealth country, still spell colour and Neighbour and behaviour and all the other British spellings. Spellcheck sometimes gets annoying

Welcome Julie! I'm sure you have plenty of adventures down under

And Lyz - ummm...we spell neighbour and colour like that in Canada, eh

That sounds rude!
