The Palo Alto Parrot Meetup

"What fun to meet some new BIRD PEOPLE! Thanks all for coming and sharing your pictures of your beautiful birds. I hope in time more people will join us and we will learn many more wonderful things! Karen..."

"Thanks for the welcome! When I met Martini, I realized that Maximillian Pionus parrots are the color of green olives, and they have bright red feathers under their tail, like a pimento in a martini olive - that's where his name comes from! I may not make your first meeting, but I certainly plan on coming to as many as possible - it will be great to talk with other parrot people! Hope to meet you soon (if not this Sunday)"

"Welcome Kam - I hope you will be able to join us often and tell us all about your "Martini"! I love the name."

"Martini and I have been together since the early 1990's. He is about 15 years old, and is a Maximillian Pionus (hatched and raised locally - we met when he was about 6 weeks old)."

"I've updated this meeting. For more details, see the full listing: http://parrot.mee... When: Sunday, May 18, 2008 at 12:00 PM Where: Starbucks Colorado/Middlefield Palo..."

"Welcome to all who have joined us here! I hope that we will be able to attract some more bird people so we can all share information and support. Any idea's where people would like to meet? There..."

"Welcome Debbie! I hope that in time more people will join us! Karen"

"Hi all, I'm Debbie. I live with Roscoe--a mischievous yellow nape Amazon, Mistress Lucky--a sprightly parakeet, and Shadow--a sweet feral cat. I'm delighted to find other local parrot lovers. "

"Karen, thanks so much for the warm welcome. I'll try to rustle up a few more members for us. See ya in a couple of weeks!"

"Welcome Elaine! I'm so glad you found us. We should have a GREAT time discussing our birds. Karen"

"Hello! I will soon adopt a Conure parrot so I wanted to say thank you for creating this group! I'll be there for the first meet-up!"

"So far our response to this meet-up have not been as I had hoped. If you have any friends you think would like to join let me know. It would be fun to have a local meeting if we can get a little more..."

"Hi Karen welcome to the Palo Alto Parrot meetup! Please help us to come up with idea's for our meetup."

"Hi all, I am owned by a lilac crowned Amazon and 8 Green Cheek conures and currently 8 brand new babies I am handfeeding."

"HI Carey - Welcome to the Palo Alto Parrot meetup! Please tell us something about yourself and about your birds. "

"Welcome to our Palo Alto Parrot meetup! I do hope you can find away to come with us. If you know others that would be interested please pass on the word! "

"This is my 8 yo White Cap Pionus, Gizmo; I also foster for Mickaboo - currently a 45 yo blue front Amazon named Cookie. I'm excited to meet other local parrot lovers, share stories and knowledge, and have some fun!"

"Since we are a new group I am looking for ideas! Also thoughts about where to meet. Looking forward to lots of great ideas. Also we can add more than 10 members to our meet-up depending on the location...."

"This is the place to continue the conversation between monthly Meetups. Get to know your local Meetup community, ask questions, answer questions, talk about your last get-together--it's up to you. We..."

"Hi all I'm Karen and I live in a housefull of birds, mostly cockatoos but also some others. Hope you will enjoy our group. I also help with a dog rescue which is why you see my Baby Daisy picture for now!"
