Welcome to Daisy's Diary!

Hi!

I've been wanting to do this for a few weeks now, and I have finally had some inspiration! A tiny bit of history:

After our beloved Fresca passed away after a long illness, we mourned for him and then as always, we had to have another birdie. So, we picked out this one:

Her first day with us - October 1, 2010

This was just an hour or so after we brought her home. She was the tiniest of all the parakeets and I wanted a very young one. Note the black stripes on her (yes, it's a GIRL!) head. The darker and closer to the cere the stripes are, the younger the bird. This one was just over 4 weeks old.

After a many name shout outs, we all agreed (well most of us... ahem) on Daisy Mae. That's a name my mother would call me, sometimes... Moms; gotta love em!

For days, Daisy did nothing. Absolutely nothing. For more on her first days, Blooming Daisy

Well, just as soon as the thought entered my mind that this bird is not going to do a thing, and that perhaps we should return her, her little personality started showing itself... and soon her little personality was anything but little; She is a little minx that, every day, shows us something new. She is funny, and sweet. She is curious and shows no fear -- which can be scary at times! There is not a mean bone in her body. I can promise visitors that she will not bite and mean it.

So, I hope you'll follow her life with me. It'll be a fun and entertaining journey, I promise. As I type, she is sleeping soundly on my keyboard.

Until next time,

Remember; ruffling a few feathers is a good thing!

Peace...

Mary
