First of all let me say that if you are ever looking for a quality bird in the Southern California area, you have to go to Omar’s Exotic Birds. I’ve been bird shopping for about a year now and their birds are the happiest and most well-adjusted I’ve ever seen. The people are very helpful and they spend a lot of time with you educating you on proper techniques as well as advice for choosing the right bird and equipment. I’ve seen a lot of birds in a lot of pet stores and it’s sad to see how scared and neurotic they’ve already become. This place definitely outshines them all.
That being said, I just got a call from them, Linus is ready to come home! Apparently they’re starting to escape their playpen and he’s down to two feedings a day now so I’ll be taking him home Saturday. It’s a bit sooner than I expected since I don’t have his computer yet but I’ll have the LinusCam set up soon enough so you can see him in almost real-time.
I should be receiving the special keyboard today and I’ll post more about it after I get some pictures.

He should be ok. I’ll probably be leaving my laptop at home so I can have it providing some visual stimulation. I’ll be able to control it remotely. The webcam will also be set up this weekend so I can see him.
