Bowl o’ Raptors! Look, PA!
I KNOW. I reblogged this last week but I can’t stop staring every time I see them. This is what my little girl looked like as a baby!
She’s creating some trouble for me with job-hunting, actually, because there are places where I can’t live and keep her. Quaker parakeets are illegal to keep as pets in Pennsylvania, Colorado, California, Tennessee, Kentucky, Hawaii, Wyoming, and Georgia, and some other states require permits and certifications (which they then tend not to want to issue) in order to keep them. Quakers are a temperate-climate parrot, so when pets escape, they can form feral colonies (colonies exist in Brooklyn, New Orleans, Chicago, Cincinnati and some other cities). Some states thus consider them an invasive species.
Since I refuse to part with her (I’ve had her since I was 15, and if she stays healthy I’ll have her till I’m at least 45), that means there are places I just can’t move to in order to work.
