After getting off the phone with my mom, who once again delivered some bad news regarding a pet, she did give me some good news too, which I'll post here.
My sister is now the proud "momma" of two baby Solomon Islands Eclectus parrots, a male and a female (to be bred later. Male is 6 weeks and female is 4). She is handfeeding them herself, and of course, the lone dog left, Max, is being kept in the backyard for awhile (though he doesn't mind)
The male already has a name, "Saki," named after my BIL's Kawasaki bike (

He HAS to name his pets after planes and bikes), and they still can't think of one for the female.
