Hello all!
I'm Ellie, my Quaker is Tin Tin. She's been described as an "extra sassy" bird, which makes for a lot of fun and a LOT OF frustration. Here's a fun story to start:
My mom and I bought her from a family that was moving to New Jersey. They were Brazilian, let her drink coffee, stand on people's heads and her name was Jose Manuel. She was supposedly dna sexed male... We renamed her Tin Tin because of her matching the colour of Hergé's character's sweater, and it also means sky sky in Cantonese. We had had our vet also do a blood test when we got her to see that everything was in order, but they must not have done the dna test again because it was done by her old vet, and NOBODY could mess that up, right? Last summer I walked by her cage and lo and behold, there was an egg in the bottom. It explained SO MUCH and we are very lucky she didn't become egg bound at boarding because of it.
I'm happy to be here, and you can all look forward to many more stories of my wee beast because she is truly something else.

I like that name-- it's creative and unique. I'm sure that egg was a big surprise.
