And what life could be complete without the wonderful companionship of a shrieking, pooping, furniture eating, clothes chewing, feather plucking, keyboard destroying friend like this? Micky came into my life in a most unusual way (again, ask me and I will tell you). But for all the growing pains of coming to terms with a bird of paradise (his words, not mine....) I cannot imagine life without him. There is something indescribably wonderful when he looks down from his perch just as he makes a nice "bombs away" and says, I LOVE YOU! All the newspapers in the world seem to pale beside of those three words....And i would not trade a dump truck full of peanut shells for the many hours of rough and tumble play we have had in bed together. If you have time to attend to these guys, they make awesome pets....
