Very cool. I use to raise parrots, cockatoo, and macaws. It'd be great to be able to shot
them in the wild.

You got the white's right - well done.
When I was a kid a lady nearby kept one in a cage - it lived to be about forty and taught me all the swear words I know :lol:

Depending on what part of CT, you've got Quakers, so that's more or less just as good. :p
