Meet the Roxy

Roxy is our new baby! She is a Goffin's Cockatoo. Carrie obtained her from a less-than-ideal household in the Las Vegas area. She is a sweet, sweet little bird. Doesn't talk, but giggles on occasion and likes to bust a move every now and then.

Right now I have her perched on the upright screen of my laptop... hoping she will not poop on the keyboard. heh...

Roxy on our front porch...



This was the other night... she's a sweet girl.



"Whatcha doin, Mama Nic?"





Her feathers are still growing in... she had a former roommate bird who over-preened her... and so over-preens herself some... but she's filled out impressively even since we've had her! A little more to go, but she's coming along nicely.



Carrie was wanting to get a Macaw and call it "RJ" - to mean Rocco, Jr. - but that didn't happen. Roxy is this bird's original name, so that's awesome! I told Carrie it was meant to be. Little Roxy is blending right into our household.

Today will consist of a good bit of rearranging, packing and cleaning. We're wanting to have a yard sale next weekend and then get ready for our migration to Las Vegas. I'm looking forward to that!
