Trinity aired on Animal Planet's show, "The Planet's Funniest
Animals" on Dec 19.
She was chosen by showing how well she can
save money and her clip aired as the very last one of the
show. We'd like to think they saved the best for last.

Trinity is a Green Cheek
Conure, scientific name Pyrrhura Mollinae. Very similar
in appearance to the Maroon Bellied Conure. We're still
not sure if Trinity is male or female, but we refer to her as
female. She was hatched on May 1, 2001 and we got her on
August 23 at about 4 months old. Known as "the
quiet conures", Trinity seems to be living up to that
reputation and even when she squawks loudly, it's no where
near the volume of other parrots. She's proven to be a
great companion and extremely intelligent. She loves to
cuddle and is very social.

Trinity displayed very

command:

There are, of course, many
great sources of information for pet bird owners, including
some excellent books. Here are some web sites we've
visited to learn more about our pet:
If you have or are considering owning
a pet bird, you NEED to research. In addition to
choosing the right type of bird, you'll need to become aware
of hazards. Just do an internet search on "household
hazards to pet parrots" and you'll find some
information for sure.

Here are some links that
Trinity always likes us to visit. Of course, they're
shopping sites. Maybe she is a girl after all.
WOW!
I recently had some FANTASTIC gifts made for Jess by Alicia
Merritt at Alicia's Creations.
I sent her a picture of Trinity, and I
can't believe how the finished pieces came out! Here are
some pictures of the pieces:
These earrings and pendant are
handcrafted from polymer clay. Each color is a different
piece of clay. Being in the business we can really
appreciate the work that went into these, and I can't believe
what a great job she did. All of her work is just
beautiful.
