Blech!  Longhair!  Any Russian Blues?  Abbies?

Actually, we breed TAs and Abbies both.  But I have no abbies on offer.

Bummer.  I like Abbies.


Well, okay, they really weren't too bad, and any breed that disqualifies the
cobby body can't be all bad!  :-)

Yeah, TAs are the best of the long hairs, not that I'm biassed or anything.

But the two cats, dog and bird that I have are enough!

How can that be enough?  What kind of bird?

Because my I grew up with a mother that collected pets and wheras I like 'em, I
prefer that they live in my house, not the other way around.  :-)

Congo African Gray (Arrrr, I be carrying the pirate thing too far).  Just paint
the tail on the Lego "gray parrot/falcon" red and ya got it!
