The neighbor girls got some parakeets awhile back, and ever since, the kids have been begging to get some of their own. Ashlyn dove in to the internet and did soo much research. All about care, personality of boys vs. girls, things to watch out for, diet, instructional videos etc, etc. She's practically an expert! Last weekend they talked to Adam about it, and so adam and i popped over to the pet store to ask more questions. We told the kids "ok", and they have been dying all week! Ashlyn got some birthday money, which she put toward all of this. She said that she feels very responsible now that she has a bird to take care of, and she feels proud about all the research she has done ;) It's really just so adorable. We are pretty sure they are both boys... Ben's is Spike (front), and Ashlyn's is Beaker (back) :)
hilarious.

That's cool. I remember having birds (yoshi and fuzzy;) then we found out my mom is allergic to feathers :(
