Yes Betty- Buster is his name. He is great but my problem is that I am home too much so when he's here, he tends to drive me insane! This visit I put him in the living room, rather than right near the computer-so he was deinitely quieter not being so close to me and this typing all day/night- but after I sit for him for a bit, I'm more than ready to have him go home. Hmmmm forget if I get him this coming weekend... no I think it's the following weekend he'll be here again. My male cat sits right next to his cage, on the couch- and Buster sits on his opened cage door with his back to the cat- like it's not a big deal. Truth is, I don't know who would win a brawl- cuz these birds are so strong.
