OT: Birds!

tbittner · 11-08-2007, 10:24 AM

There seems to be quite a few people here that also have birds. There is a thread for dogs (which I still need to add to.

) so how about one for birds?

This is our new little baby that will join our family the week before Christmas. He is the sweetest bird I've ever met. He crawled up, snuggled against my neck and fell asleep when we went to look at birds last night.

He is an Eclectus.

He looks like a scarecrow in a pumpkin

Aw he is very cute. I love birds. I raise bantam chickens, and raised bob white quail for many years. But I have always wanted a bird like that,

Here is my white eyed conure Max. He is about 20 years old.

Then the baby Bascha who is a miligold macaw. Not sure why I still call her the baby since she is now almost 12. I guess cause in her world she is still a big baby.

AAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!! I LVE when they still have that "baby" look about them. I've gotta get some pics up.

All of Willow's toys are locked to her cage. Why? Because the screw links that are normally used are just another toy for her.

She put that link in the chain. I still haven't figured out how to keep her water bottle attached to the cage - everything I've come up with so far is just another puzzle for her. So, she still uses a water dish.

I'll have to take a picture of my feathered friends later today

Dexter, is a 5 year old African Grey (Congo Cameroon), meaning he's slightly larger and brigher colored than the timneh. He's quite a character. Then there's Tweety, the 10 year old Cockatiel! Pics later tonight!
