1) i've really been looking at sun conures lately as a pet for when i graduate college (in 2 ish years lol), what are some things i should know about conures? i used to care for two of them when i worked at a petsmart, but they were a couple and rather aggressive. i met one at another store, and it was so affectionate and playful.

2) i saved a hatchling cockateil today at a petland! i hate petland so much, but i always go looking in them - and today i was looking at the cockatiels and one baby hopped out of the nesting box, tangled in bedding. i grabbed it and told my boyfriend to find an employee, and we both helped save the poor thing (it had this cotton-like bedding wrapped all around its leg and throat, and even swallowed some of it!)
the poor thing broke two toe nails in its struggle. but i'm so happy that i helped it out.

i felt the need to share.
