show us your exotic birds

[Albino93]

I have 3 eclectus parrots (2 f, 1 m), a major mitchell, a quaker, a jenday conure, a cinnamon green cheek conure, a princess parrot, a lutino ringneck, 2 lorikeets.....and 5 budgies. All besides the budgies are handraised (mostly by myself) and are all my babies. Love each and everyone of them....all different and all fantastic pets

Wow that must be a handful, alot of mouths to feed and alot of noise id imagine lol
Could u please tell me how ur major mitchells is to keep, everywhere ive read say that they dont make good pets and will become aggressive as they mature?
I was also told by the breeder that they dont eat fruits at all, does urs eat fruit?

Oh and please post some pics of all ur lovely birdys

Sorry Albino93....I just saw your reply.....My major mitchell is fantastic, she is a gorgeous, loving girl. I handreared her and her 2 brothers from the nest, but I doubt that has anything to do with the bond we have. She is my friend.....a lovely bird, I don't see any aggression. They nip yes, but they are a very busy bird who chew a lot....so it's not in aggression. She eats lots of fruit and vegies, always has done and always will I hope. My lot get fruit and veg everyday along with sprouts and multigrain bread.....they are all spoilt but I wouldn't have it any other way Will post some pics soon. Thanks

I really liked it.

 

[Albino93]

Can't resist posting more pics for those who know his name as Aussie, i have changed his name to Tazzie, (it sounds better )
I have now found out that he really enjoys his showers (squirted him with a water bottle) lol

 

[jakedasnake]

im gonna bump this thread albino could u give us an update on ur major mitchells

 

[Albino93]

Sure thing jakedasnake,

He's currently trying to chew my keyboard apart as with everything else lol
He is a big sook now, always wants attention, thankfully he's not to loud like i thought he'd be. He only lets a few people touch him, anyone else that he's not used to or just doesn't like will feel the power of his beak (and it hurts). Ive taught him target training, and wave (he does these really well) the next trick i was thinking maybe recall or turn around on cue.

Heres the best pic i have at the moment

[Albino93]

Hey vamps first of all they are amazing photo's , and thanks he was born/hatched on the 3rd of october 2012 so that would make him 4 months old. I actually got him from the same place u got harvey, Barry is great to deal with

 

[vampstorso]

Glad you liked Barry! He certainly raised me a fantastic boy! couldn't be a more gentle bird!
I considered a majors from him a while back, and your photos show lovely quality! I also love that he doesn't clip them
