Oliver

So, my mom and I went to Petco a couple weeks ago. March 6th, to be precise. We went to get dog treats, but I went to look at the parakeets. The littlest one there looked at me, and it looked at me in such a sweet way. I absolutely fell in love with it. I just couldn't bear the thought of not having this parakeet! I was convinced he's destined to be my best friend. I asked my mom if she thought it would  be a horrible idea to randomly buy a parakeet. She said "well, yes and no..."
So, I randomly came home with a parakeet. It's not as awful as an idea as it sounds like, because my parents use to rescue needy birds and and get them healthy, then rehome them.
So, my little birdie is named Oliver. He's absolutely adorable. He's very young, we think he was about 5-6 weeks when I bought him. I know Petco isn't the best place to get a bird, but I just fell in love with him. He's doing very well. He's not as convinced as I am that we're destined to be best friends, but he's slowly becoming my friend.
