As long as I can remember, I’ve been a bird enthusiast. I started with one albino cockatiel that my husband got me for Christmas one year, and before long I had three breeding cockatiels and ten breeding pairs of budgies. Once I found out that there was a parrot club in Winnipeg, it was only fitting to join! Besides birds, I have also shown dogs, from German shepherds to tiny Yorkshire terriers, and have trained many difficult dogs for our home and for others as well. I have a love for animals and we have had many special needs dogs, cats, and birds come through our doors over the year; I think I do better when animals than I do with people. Currently I have a blue macaw, a yellow sulphur-crested cockatoo, and an African grey. I also have a great Pyrenees, a mixed Merrama sheep dog, and three rescued cats. And of course, my husband!
