\n \t<\/a>\n\t\t <\/div>\n Well, sometimes things happen that you had never expected. \u00a0I am sure everyone has had something happen to them that just seemed meant to be. \u00a0It seems that our recent events with Nate were just such. Someone up above seemed to be guiding us. \u00a0To give you more of an understanding, you need to know our history with Nate. \u00a0Susie has owned Nate since he was a year old. \u00a0He is now 38 and has only been separated from her when we would take short vacations. \u00a0Homer was Jeff\u2019s Amazon parrot. \u00a0We we got married 28 years ago the two birds became brothers and best friends. \n\t\t\n\t\t\t \t\n ![\"DSC03662\"\n](\"http:\/\/www.idylltime.com\/wp-content\/gallery\/Lakemichiganspring2011\/cache\/DSC03662.JPG-nggid042174-ngg0dyn-320x240x100-00f0w010c010r110f110r010t010.JPG\"\n "\\"DSC03662\\"\n")
\n \t<\/a>\n\t\t <\/div>\n \u00a0Homer passed away about a year ago at age 58 and Nate has missed him dearly. \u00a0Remember, they were together for 27 years. \u00a0When we purchased our boat 10 years ago, our Krogen salesperson, Bill Harris, took us to Birds on Safari here in Stuart. \u00a0He knew we had birds and thought we would enjoy seeing this wonderful bird only pet store. \u00a0They raise birds at their home and also board birds at the store. \u00a0Fast forward \u00a0to this March while we are in Marathon.\u2026 we get a phone call from Dana, the owner of Birds on Safari. \u00a0She knew that we had lost Homer last year and was asking if we would be interested in adopting another 38 \u00a0year old Amazon. \u00a0We had no intention of getting another bird and were \u00a0getting ready to leave for the Bahamas for several months so we declined the offer. \u00a0Three days later we learn of the difficulties in taking Nate with us to the Bahamas. \u00a0A really difficult decision was made to board Nate at Birds on Safari for the Next two months. \u00a0Walking into the boarding room with Nate, we see Primo, the 38 year old rescue Amazon for the first time. Nate\u2019s \u00a0temporary home just happens to be right beside Primo. \u00a0As soon as Primo sees Nate, he is reaching his foot through the cage bars towards Nate and Nate eases over towards Primo. \u00a0 \u00a0Things seem to be \u00a0off to a good start and we are happy that Nate will have a companion while we are away. \u00a0While in the Bahamas, we call each week to see how Nate is doing. \u00a0The first reports were that Nate and Primo were sitting as close together as possible, separated only by the cage bars. \u00a0The staff at the bird store would bring Nate and Primo out on T- stands each day in the store. \n\t\t
