This week I paid close to $400 bucks for 2 dozen eggs. It’s true!! Let me explain…
You had the opportunity to meet Romulo and Julianne — our two very beautiful love birds. They live in an awesome cage with a bowed front of plexiglass. No wires to look through when you admire the beauty of these two. But it wasn’t until after the $59.00 per bird was plucked down that we were given a sheet of paper that was to help determine if this specific animal was a good fit for an interested pet buyer. We read the pamphlet in the car on the way home.
- If you don’t like a pet that makes a lot of noise early in the morning, then a love bird is not for you.
- If you don’t want a pet that has a life expectancy of 20 years, then a love bird is not for you.
After purchasing the $269.00 awesome cage, I figured out pretty quickly that I’m just not a bird person. The thought of waking up to the sound of chirping (loud ass chirping) every morning for the next 20 years was more than I could stand. Stopping in Mountain Memories Flower Shop on it’s last open day, I told Sherry about my plight. “Martha Stewart has birds,” she said, “and Thomas (her hubby) likes them too.” I said a silent prayer in the car that Thomas would want to adopt the pair.
Sherry and Thomas picked up Romulo and Julianne that night, and brought me 2 dozen fresh eggs (from their chickens) for trade. I figure I got the best end of that deal! I’m a dog person. Plain and simple.
