Hi everyone!

My name is Bailey. I am 18 years old, a student, and a cashier at Chick-fil-A in Texas. I have 4 cockatiels. The boys: Kirk, Luna, and Taz. And one little lady named Allie.

Kirk was our first bird and is just over a year old now. A month later we got Ava (she passed from chlamydia). Luna came next and is a hormone-crazed 8 month old as of today. After him, we picked up a BIG girl named Tasha but she wouldn't eat with us because she was stressed by the move so we took her back home to the breeder, where she still is today and actually has 2 little WF babies at the moment. Next we took Taz home, thinking he was a girl...DallyTsuka was the fist to point out that he wasn't. We fostered a beautiful girl named Krissi for about 2 months; she passed away during the time we had her because of a poor diet for all her 13 years. Last Sunday, we brought home Allie who is in poor shape: she is crippled by her deformed feet, her wings appear to be broken in the past, and she has liver disease as well as a Vitamin A deficiency..but we're hoping for the best for her.

That's me and my birds.

Lol you know I will put some pictures up! I'm going to get a better camera so I think I'll wait until then. I'm bidding on a used camera on ebay and the auction ends tomorrow.

ooooh goodluck!! what camera?

i just got a new one myself for my birthday my fiance got it for me... its a canon rebel t3 with both the 18-55 mm lens and 75-300 mm lens and i LOVE it!!!

[Bailey :)]

It's a 2007 model. The Canon EasyShare Z712...it has really great reviews and is only about $50 bought used. Originally around $250 new for the camera. The only downside is that it eats through batteries, but I already looked up rechargeable batteries for it. So it isn't top quality, but it should take better pictures than my HP point and shoot. I'm pretty excited about it.

do you mean kodak easyshare?

the kodak easy shares i have loved. thats all i used before this new one. my last one was glitched and it would stall and such and freeze up but it was a freak thing, theyre good cameras


for the price i may be able to point you to another model that i would highly recommend 7.1 MP, thats kinda low quality, i can find higher MP for similar price

i had the c142 before my canon rebel... it was good but it seems a lot of people have trouble with it... so read reviews carefully i would think

as for batteries, i cant say. people use the canon rebel and say its good on batteries. it comes with a lithium battery that lasts most people a week. i kill it in 1-2 days and take 100-200 photos a day, sometimes 300-400 depending on my mood. i have an 8 GB memory card too and ive dumped it 4 times since i got the camera in april

Oops! Yes I meant Kodak, sorry I was pretty destracted when I wrote that post. If I don't win the ebay auction (I'm the only one bidding atm) then I will look into that one.

i had some trouble with it, but it was a manufacturing glitch i think. others seem to have trouble
