PLEASE ALLOW ME TO INTRODUCE MYSELF!!!

MY NAME IS BAILEY. I AM A 5 YEAR OLD UMBRELLA COCKATOO.

MY MOMMY TELLS ME I AM THE SWEETEST MOST BEAUTIFUL

BIRD IN THE WHOLE WORLD!!!!

I USED TO LIVE WITH A GREAT FAMILY BUT DUE TO THE ECONOMY

MY MOM HAD TO GO TO WORK. SHE FELT REALLY BAD ABOUT

NOT BEING ABLE TO GIVE ME THE ATTENTION I WAS USED TO,

SO OUT OF THE KINDNESS OF HER HEART SHE BEGAN A SEARCH

TO FIND THE PERFECT NEW MOMMY FOR ME.

AFTER A LONG SEARCH SHE MET MICHELLE AND HER HUSBAND

GALEN. THEY MADE A LONG TRIP TO MEET ME AND MY MOM AND

IT WAS LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT. I CLIMBED ALL OVER THEM, AND

CUDDLED THEM AND EVEN GAVE MICHELLE A FEW KISSES. IT WAS

PRETTY LATE IN THE EVENING AND I WAS READY FOR BED SO I

PERFORMED A FEW TRICKS FOR THEM AND THEN WENT TO BED.

MY MOM THOUGHT THESE NEW PEOPLE WOULD BE THE PERFECT

NEW PARRONTS FOR ME.

ON MAY 2, 2009 MY NEW MOMMY CAME WITH MY NEW SISTER,

KAITLIN, AND THEY TOOK ME TO MY NEW FOREVER HOME.

WHEN WE GOT HOME, I WAS A LITTLE BIT SHY AND STRESSED

FROM THE LONG DRIVE, BUT MY NEW MOMMY SET UP MY CAGE

AND FILLED MY BOWLS UP WITH GREAT FOOD AND FRESH WATER

AND I STARTED TO SETTLE IN.

FOR MY OWN SAFETY AND SANITY MY MOMMY DECIDED IT WOULD

BE BEST IF I STAYED IN MY CAGE FOR A FEW DAYS SO I COULD

GET USED TO ALL THE NEW STUFF AROUND ME.

ON THE THIRD DAY MOMMY UNCOVERED MY CAGE AND GAVE ME

FRESH SCRAMBLED EGGS AND I GOBBLED IT UP LIKE I HADN'T

EATEN IN A MONTH. AFTER BREAKFAST I HAD A BATH WITH MY

SPRAY BOTTLE, I DON'T LIKE THE SHOWER OR THE SINK, MOMMY

OPENED THE CAGE DOOR AND LET ME FIND MY WAY OUT TO PLAY.

I WAS A LITTLE SCARED AT FIRST BUT I VENTURED OUT ANYWAY,

I AM SO BRAVE!!! I CLIMBED ALL OVER MY CAGE, PLAYED WITH

MY BLANKEY AND EVENTUALLY CLIMBED DOWN TO THE FLOOR TO

INVESTIGATE SOME SHOES, THE COUCH AND THE TABLE WITH MY

NEW PLAYSTAND ON IT. OK MAYBE I'M NOT SO BRAVE CUZ THAT

PLAYSTAND SCARED THE FEATHERS OUT OF ME!!!

I HAVE BEEN AT MY NEW HOME FOR A MONTH NOW AND I LOVE IT

HERE! MY PLAYSTAND IS THE COOLEST. I AM REALLY STARTING TO

CHEW MY TOYS TO PIECES. MOMMY PUT MY PLAYSTAND IN FRONT

OF THE WINDOW SO I CAN WATCH THE BIRDS OUTSIDE. SOMETIMES

I CLIMB ONTO THE CURTAINS AND PLAY TARZAN AND JUST SWING

AROUND, BUT I USUALLY LIKE TO JUST HANG OUT AND LOOK AT

THE PRETTY FLOWERS AND CRITTERS OUTSIDE.

MY COUSIN COMES OVER ALL THE TIME AND WE LOVE TO SING

AND DANCE. WE HAVE ALMOST PERFECTED OUR BOW, SOMETIMES

SHE IS OFF BEAT BUT I AM ALWAYS PERFECT!!!

WELL I GUESS THAT IS PRETTY MUCH IT FOR NOW. MY MOMMY IS

GOING TO PUT PICTURES OF ME ON HERE JUST AS SOON AS I SHOW

HER HOW, SHE ISN'T VERY TECHNOLOGICALLY SAVVY, BUT DON'T

TELL HER I SAID THAT, I DON'T WANT TO HURT HER FEELINGS.

I AM THE MOST LOVED AND SPOILED BIRD ALIVE, WELL AT LEAST I

THINK SO!!!!
