My First Pet

[fischer]

Hi Everyone, The first Bird I owned, now some 40 years ago, was a Cockatiel hen named Henrietta, she was a normal grey of
course, all that was available then. She had a mate named Henry, but they never bred, It was probably my fault, didn't have a clue then. She lived to the ripe old age of 16 too.
When ever I see a grey Cockatiel I think of her, and she was responsible for my life long love of Birds ( obsession might be a better word )
When and if I meet Henrietta in the after life I'm going to strangle her . Cheers Tony
