Where did it all begin

I was looking on my old computer and thought this would be a great place to show some of my old pictures.

Spice: What can I say? Still alive and kicking but much older now. This 1994 hen was bought from Keith Reimer, deceased NCS Judge, exhibitor, and birdie buddy. He got me into cockatiels! Although I think Spice has had a good life, in the past months she's shown signs of aging. I will always love my Spice and we've spent the last couple of months with some good times together. :). She is pictured here at 5 years of age. She's now 13 years.

Update: 6/2007

We lost Spice to liver failure this month. We will miss her greatly as she was our second pet ever and the reason we got into exhibition!
