    So i found a spare CR tank on ebay for my collection.
    It arrived today, it is so beautiful. Not sure if i would gas in it after a tiny clean up.

    Cosmo, he's a male and will be 25 years old in Feb. Had him since he was 3 months old.
    Really friendly, talks a bunch and he could fly away as we never clipped his wings ever.
    He has never tried to fly/run away like away like a Budgie or Dog.. :thumbsup:

    Cosmo is a beautiful little-big guy, seems like he likes to be in on the action as you fiddle about the house. Thanks for sharing.:D
