Della,
It is great to hear from you! We must be on the same wave
length because I have been thinking about you a lot and getting ready to email you. Rudder is doing great - although
now we are calling him Rudy - as my husband likes this name better. Rudy is great - so affectionate and loves kids.
I coach the swim team here and had an end-of-the-year team sleepover. There were 20 kids that participated and
they all wanted a turn holding Rudy. He was so good with them. I think he is trying to talk - trying to say "Pretty
Bird" and "Good Boy". There are times in the day where he starts to squawk and then tries to talk - he is adorable.
He is accustomed to the flight suit now. He doesn't love it but deals with it. I have it on him quite a
bit during the day then at night take it off of him to sleep. I think he prefers the velour suits. I purchased
one from Avian Fashions online. I like the velour suits the best as well because the velcro doesn't stick to the fabric.
Rudy is completely spoiled. I take him in the bed at night in a basket to snuggle before he goes to sleep - then
I have a kennel he likes to sleep in on my night stand. He doesn't spend much time in his cage, only when I need a break
or can't bring him with me. I traveled to Anchorage a couple of weeks after he came home and brought him with me - he
is an easy traveler. I just can't praise you enough for the great job you do as a breeder - preparing your babies to
be wonderful companions!

*****Here is what a few of our very happy costumer have to say as of
May17th 2009..*****
Brittaney is a very sweet young Lady who by the pictures you can tell
loves her baby Mitred and him her..
Apple Jack is a very spoiled bird see for your self below
Hello Della,
Hope you and your family are doing great. Its been a little over a week since I purchased my Mitred Conure, whose name
is Apple Jack. He is the best birthday present I ever received. I’m very thankful for my family for
helping me get him. He is a blessing not only for me, but for them. He is doing absolutely wonderful and has won
my heart. He loves being around people. My 11 year old niece that you met adores him also. They do great together.
He loves taking baths in the kitchen sink!! I’m trying to get use to making sure he’s put up before doing dishes
or he runs to the dish water! He sits in the shower on his perch everyday while I shower…That is his favorite place
to nap. He doesn’t wake up until I’m dressed and ready to go. He still says “Step up”
when he wants to be held or wants higher up; so we hear this a lot. He likes kisses. His favorite thing is setting on
our heads and grooming us and himself. Our hair is always messed up! Everyday Apple Jack and I have been practicing
turning over. I’ll say Turn and flip and then put him on his back and give him a treat and pet him. He’s
staying on his back longer the more times we do it. Every other day we put the flight suit on. He’s getting better
at it. He is still a little nippy during the process, but I take my time and talk calm to him.
The thing I was worried most about before Apple Jack came was him being noisy all night or early the next morning. I
took your advice about rotating cages, so that hasn’t been a problem. Every night, the last thing we do before
we go to sleep is walk him over to his ‘night cage’. He gets in it and goes straight up to the birdie hut you
gave me. I cover him up, he mumbles for a little while and goes to sleep. I don’t hear anything from him
until I uncover him the next day and take him back to the ‘play cage’.
Everyone
that meets Apple Jack can tell he has been handled a lot by people. He’s very loving and affectionate. I
would recommend anyone to you and will do business with you again if Apple Jack needs company in his cage later on.
Thanks so much!
Blessings,
Brittany Hieneman
Greenup, KY
