44.1	WOW!	CSC32::K_WORKMAN	P.I.A.S.O.M.	`Mon Nov 07 1988 14:04`	19
	Jean! Congratulations!!!! Can you make us out-a-staters some copies? I'll send my mail stop to you... Your advice and help in this notes file is great! We know you know your stuff, but this takes the cake! Keep up the good work.... Karen from Colorado. PS. I did it again, I bought a hand-fed baby Green Cheek Conure this weekend and also will be picking up a baby Painted Conure in about 4 weeks. Shame on me? No way... I love these critters! but... 75? I don't think I could handle that many, besides my husband would surely divorce me! See-ya!
44.2	Blush, Blush and Blush Again!	FREKE::HUTCHINS	Feathered Obsessions Aviary	`Mon Nov 07 1988 15:13`	34
	When I picked up yesterdays paper and poured my coffee and finally sat on the couch and finally looked at the paper, I almost dropped the coffee on my pearl brocade sofa!!! I JUST GET SO EXCITED ABOUT THINGS I BECOME DANGER! I had NO idea I'd see me on the front page! I mean, 2 days before elections, nuclear site problems, falling leaves and traffic jams, who makes the front page! Gee! I am soo flattered, I can't stand it! The phone rang off the hook all day long! "Please by my cockatiel" "can you please make my parakeet well, we love him dearly, but hes dying"..."Can you help find a home for my parrott" My birds seem sick, and I won't go to the vets, will you take the birds..." I mean, I could go on and on... BTW: I AM NOT offering refuge for ill birds! Almost all of these calls were referred to two veterinarian friends of mine! And Karen...I get to thinking <I know my stuff too> but then again, I really am not so great! I learned EVERY lesson at the school of hard knocks...like Advanced Crisis 301...I became so devistated twice first of swore off birds...then I just made a promise to share all these lessons with other bird lovers. I always "write" from personal experience and if I can save someone else from what I went thru, I surely will! I have been given the "gife" of being able to handle animals and understand their needs. My responsibility to to share that with everyone that I can! But, yeah, I'm so high you'd think I ate those little "hemp" seeds in the parrot mix!!! Thanks again for the compliments!!! J B^)
