Hello, my name is Popper and I am a pearl.
I was born in May of 1992. I lived with a nice family for 9 years, but then I was also adopted, like Lanny, and now I live with my new mom. I got a new cage out of the deal :)
Lanny and I didn't get along very well at first, but we worked it out a little bit. He just kept getting more and more nasty though. Turns out that he had gout and a hurt wing, which accounts for the moodiness. Unfortunately, he died of a stroke before we could become friends :(
My new mom has a lot of smaller birds than me. The only probablem is the little birds, the "budges" as mom calls them, will crawl all over my cage like flies!
All in all, it's ok here. Lately the budges have been sick, so mom has her hands filled with them, but she always stops by to say hello and give me some brocolli, my favorite!
