When I was about seven years old, I got my first parakeet. A lot of parakeets followed to replace one another, due to our four cats. The last one I had could escape after his cage was accidentally knocked over by me, while I took him outside to enjoy the nice weather. After that, it was enough. But while birds really are not my favorites in the world of fauna, I have a bit (a tiny bit) of a soft spot for this noisy, mess making birds. The crocheted type is a better alternative.
