Our New Pet Parrot
...well technically it is a lorikeet; the Pohnpeian lorikeet to be exact. It is the Pohnpei state bird and I have always wanted to have one for a pet since we first arrived in the late '90's. Yesterday, our missionary friends surprised us with a phone call saying that they found one for sale. They bought it for me as an early birthday present. It left my son and I just hours to make a cage for it from some security wire that we had. Within a couple of hours the cage was finished, and soon enough our friends arrived with Mikey. Yep. Mikey is his nickname and is short for Michael. We named him after Michael the archangel. Mikey is the newest part of our family and I am overjoyed to be able to have a new friend. He loves to cuddle. He is really young so I am still hand feeding him. I am so blessed to have such thoughtful friends and a God who loves me so much.
