DANTE THE DIMINUTIVE

Dante is small.
But scrappy! (Like me!)

When I decided I wanted another bird, I fixated unhealthily on greencheek conures. Here's the greencheek conure homepage.

I called around the North Texas area, and there was only one greencheek conure to be had -- at, coincidentally, the store I bought Alex.

I met Dante when he was barely hatched. He didn't have any feathers on his scrawny little chicken neck. I disinfected my hands, and he weakly stepped up onto my finger and regarded me suspiciously.

I was more deeply in love than I've ever been.

Dante's favorite pastimes: rolling onto his back and biting me, rappelling up my clothes, getting his little head scratched, and saying "COME HERE" unintelligably.
