I hate XMAS!  My bird, Kelly, passed away tonight.  Kelly was a very
well behaved Grey Cheeked Lovebird (a.k.a. Pocket Parrot).  She
naturally loved people, would sit on your shoulder, climbed anything.
She was so tame, I built an open stand for her, and she had the run of
the house.  She would take walks outside with me; I never had any fear
that she would fly away.

I guess I was too permitting, because I came home to find that she
chewed through one of the strings of XMAS lights on the tree, and
electrocuted herself.

This bird was a gift from my parents last summer, and though I'd never
had a bird before, I became extremely attached to her.  I had even
looked around local pet stores to try and find her a mate as a XMAS
present.  Well, now, I'd like to try to get a replacement for her.
None of the local pet stores had anything but Parakeets, big Parrots,
and Cockatiels.  Kelly was 7 inches head to tail, kelly green with
a blue crown and grey cheeks, and orange under the wings. As I recall,
my parents paid around $200 for her.  Her personality was priceless.

If anybody knows where to get such a bird, could you please write to
me at:

Thanks in advance.
