After years and months and weeks of begging me to get a pet, I finally conceded and let the boys get their very first pet. After some basic research on small birds, we decided that a parakeet was the right choice for us. Then after I got to the pet store to buy all of the supplies and the bird itself, I saw how happy they were in a big group playing around, so I ended up getting two.
Wyatt and Finn helped me pick them out to get everything ready to surprise the older boys when they got out of school for spring break. They were quite excited for the surprise.
We thought different colors would be nice and learned in the first weekend that we got a male and a female. The yellow, Woodstock, is the female and definetely has a more harsh personality. The blue, Jumpy, is the male and very jumpy by the most easily tamed.
We have so far really enjoyed having them and working together to take care of them and try to train them to be hand held and interact with us in this house of wild animals. I especially appreciate their little songs.
