Hi I'm Jennie, proud mother of Freya (age 11) who is the brand new owner of Astro a 3 month old Blue quaker. We had been considering a pet for Freya for the last 2 years after we had to leave our 2 tortoises in the UK when we moved to Houston, Texas but I couldn't have predicted how we ended up with Astro.
A beautiful green QP called 'Gee' fly in to my window today, a little surprised I went outside to see what had happened to be faced with a very friendly tame green parrot.... He followed me in to the house and made himself quite at home. Through social media I tracked down his very happy owners but my daughter had fallen very much in love by this point and Gee's owner could see this. Overwhelmed by the safe return of Gee his lovely owners, after checking with me obviously, have gifted Freya a beautiful Baby blue quaker, now known as Astro, who arrives tomorrow!!
Whilst to some this might seem irresponsible, on both parts, believe me its not. We had researched adopting a bird in depth and had made the decision to go ahead, just we weren't expecting it to happen so soon! So I'm busy trying to learn as much as I can about our new addition to the family and I've already learnt loads from reading threads on the forum.
Looking forward to introducing you all to Astro and learning as much as I can.

You are in for a treat-- these little Quakers are amazing little companions. They can be quite complicated, though, so please ask any questions you might have... we are more than happy to help in any way we can! Looking forward to seeing some pictures of your little one. Keep us posted on how things go!
