Dianalee was born a few years back and loved to play with all kinds of animals, especially "wet, slithery" ones. She used to scare her elementary classmates by depositing lizards in their lunch boxes when they weren't looking  then she watched her classmates react when they opened their bag to eat lunch. Sometimes a wet, puffed up bullfrog would peek out of her classmate's book bag and "RIBBIT" when they got home from school or there would be a hog nose snake curled up on their porch before school even started. In high school she loved to sneak in the boy's locker room and leave "presents" in their gym shorts while they were out on the football field practicing.

The big high school prom came around and she found herself having to "dress up" and "act like a lady". Yea right. Most teenagers dream of booze and sex on prom night. Not Dianalee. She was dressed by her mom and driven to the dance by her brother but came equipped with a little pink purse filled with live squiggly things that ooze in the night.

Plop! Plop! Plop! Three bullfrogs dove into the punch bowl and waited silently for their cue. A black snake curled around the bottom of the plate where the little sandwiches were dispensed as 14 slugs paraded toward the potato chip bowl. Before she knew it someone spotted one of the frogs in their spiked punch ladle and started screaming. The leaches had reached their destination and took up a position on and around the chip bowl and they were causing quite a stir. The snake, even though he couldn't hear very good but did, chose that particular time to reach up and grab a peanut butter sandwich from the hand of the football quarterback causing him to react with such a scream. Dianalee was watching all this commotion from the corner of the room. Everyone in the room was screaming and waving their arms and flapping and jumping around, then it hit her like a ton of bricks. BIRDS! She really liked BIRDS! All that noise! All that flapping! All that excitement! Dianalee was just practicing her natural call in life.

Dianalee went on to college at the University of Florida, you know GATORS, and became a zoologist so she could study about all those slimy things that go ooze in the night and best of all, she really liked studying about BIRDS!

Today, not so many years later, she is still excited about those exciting birds. She loves them so much that she breeds them and raises them to be sweet pets for you and your family. You can see her pet shop in Denver Colorado and you can even meet her there, she only works all the time. Dianalee has co-written a national book called  "Guide to the Senegal Parrot and its Family" along with another lady that just loves birds too, Mattie Sue Athan.
