Well, obviously not here and who knows where else she was refused. She
says we're cruel to her. We don't care. We're rude to her. She should
only know what the future will be if she ever got a TOO with baggage.
Sometimes, people gotta be real blunt with others who are setting the
terms before hand. They don't know about large birds. Don't wanna pay
money. Compares horses( which are now domesticated) with parrots who are
wild and will always remain so. Had some tiels and is now ready for the
big time. Thinks that people should help her learn about things even
though she says she's been to loads of sites and read loads of material.
I would consider that type of person a very plastic and a very shallow
person and we successfully scared her away. She climbed on her horse and
headed back to Brokeback Mt.
