| Young, female, Vosmaer's Eclectus |
"My life has reached the stage where most people sit and reflect on times gone by. My life is filled with wonder and excitement as to what each new day will bring. Life with companion birds is a rebirth for the soul and mind and heart of each person fortunate enough to share their lives with these small, wondrous, feathered gifts."—Sandra Hopkins 2003
