You have some beautiful birds, quite a variety of them thats for sure! I love the green cheek conures, have always been my favourite
Stevo It is most definitely a small world mate. I haven't got any plecs any more due to my work schedule. Did you happen to meet your girlfriend on the tour? You are quite right in that maturity can at times be a problem with Amazons. No doubt though you will be able to work through it with him. He's a stunning bird.
Thanks everyone for your nice comments. Jacorin I find it best to keep the birds you enjoy most or it is no longer fun. Clearly you are enjoying yourself and that's all that matters. Sesa-sayin you are definitely never too old to start. Great to see more people getting into the hobby.
Here are a few more photos of some of our young and adult birds which I photographed yesterday.
That's All Folks.
Albs Crimson-bellied Conures are brilliant little birds and as you can see quite stunning. They are also quite cheap compared to when we first saw them years back. If you get into birds I'd suggest getting a few of these guys. Just stunning is all I can say.
Stevo the grey's did great. We don't like a lot of visitors and such a large crowd can be a worry. The convention group though were brilliant and very respectful and the Parrot Society did well in their organizing. The bank of aviaries housing the Grey's was the only bank where the tour group were not permitted to enter because of the birds on eggs. One or two people were given a quick look and then made a hasty retreat. The crimson-bellied conures are also housed in that bank and were sitting on eggs as well. They too produced young.
It's great to hear that you met Bel finally at the conference. Loro Parque is great and we've been given the chance to do a very rare behind the scenes tour which will be exciting when we get over there. I'm sure you will enjoy it mate. I hope you have a great time away although it is with work lol.
Leeloofluff Macaws are great but they can be loud too. I've experienced a number of loud calls whilst handing the birds and it can be a little painful.
