I'm kinda glad and kinda disappointed at the same time to be able to
tell you all that the owner of the birds came and picked them up last
week. I'm glad because I know now that at the very least they are being
fed and looked after, but at the same time, I had grown attached to them
in the time that I spent with them. Either way, I guess it was the best
thing that they are with their rightful owner now. So, I am now back on
my search to find a breeder with red bellies, brown heads, or meyers :o)
If anyone knows of a breeder in Florida....

I think I wanted those birds (the red belly the most) because I knew
they were being neglected and they just needed someone to love and take
care of them, plus, they were two of the funniest animals I have ever
seen lol. Thanks for all of the great advice!
