Our Birds (Jennifer/Tony): We currenlty have two conures, two finches, one lovebird, and three parakeets. Our third conure "Digit" died last June (1996), he was 6 years old. The necropsy revealed that Digit had a congenital heart defect, and this caused the heart attack. The cockatoo "Maxie" we had for two years while my sister-in-law was in Hawaii.
