The Danbury Mint

We have a couple of C0ckatiels & an Amazon here at home...so when I came across this, I thought it was really cool & got it for my dad.

Done by Bob Guge, depicting a typical c0ckatiel, it looks absolutely beautiful & really lifelike in person. Made of cold-cast porcelein, it's ever so slightly smaller than lifesize, but we tend to think of it as a very young c0ckatiel.

They offer some really great sculptures of all kinds.

Yeah, they have a lot of nice pieces! I have a few. Personally, I love OWLS!!! Got a huge collection of them

Not all from the Danbury Mint, but other places as well.

There is that. But they are beautiful and extremely intelligent animals. I've owned a Medium Sulfur Crested C0ckatoo along with a Yellow Nape and a nasty Conure I rescued from a neighborhood tree. My Yellow Collared Macaw took a real liking to my mother when we left it with her a few years ago during one of our vacations and I didn't have the heart to take her back. My folks are elderly and it keeps them great company.

Yeah...some birds can get really attached to a single person. But they are great pets. 'Tiels still rule ever the 'toos though.

Back to the Transformers section Primal, before you start posting little light up Jesus figurines.

Does look real. Hey you should become a completest of those.
