Hi

Thanks for the feed back - no i do not want another bird as my
quaker and i are very close and spend alot of quality time
together and we are great friends and she is very trusting of
me - i was just wondering if they got lonely and needed a cage
mate but due to the great feed back i now feel she is happy as
she is with me and thats all i want for her Thank you so much
for the great thoughts and ideas and info

Tina
