I Love Birds

I Love BIRDS. Girls of the Playboy Mansion is an awesome show. I'd post some pics but have'nt got any at work. Not sure on the link to the website though:lol:




Oh you meant Birds as in the winged variety. I have a cockatoo that's been stuffed. He was my pet for many many years. Harry was his name. He was the most fascinating animal I have ever known. Bought him from some Greek people in Altona Meadows in Victoria.

This thing could speak Greek (Yassu - Dekanis - scipsy glipsy). I tought him loads of things. The old lady next door at the old house was putting the washing out one day. Harry was sitting there and wolf whistled at her.

She told Harry to shut up. Harry told her to ???? Off. I guess I should'nt have taught him some things

I would love to have a Raptor as a pet. I looked after a Black Shouldered kyte once who had been winged by a car. The most beautiful creature.

about 7 weeks kupper

 

[kupper]

if you ahd the time or the experience i would be recomending maybe picking him up whilst he is still weaning

maybe at teh one spoon feed a day point helps the bonding process but dont attempt it if you have never had a bird before

 

[Asharee133]

i've never hand fed a bird before lol, we have had birds before though

 

[DragonOwner]

i wouldn't reccomend people not to hand feed unless you have done so before or a breeder shows you how a few times then lets you feed while there watching. Its a myth that if you hand rear they bond better to you i hand reared my blue quaker and he hates me. I hand reared my MoJo and lucky enough she loves me. The more time you spend with the bird is what forms the bond, some birds like my quaker choose one person to love then won't allow others near him. Both my green cheek conures 1 i hand reared 1 i didn't both fight over my attention. Most breeders will not sell a unweaned bird well a very good breeder won't. The breeder i got MoJo from even allowed me to take her before paying him thats got to tell you something. The person who sold me my quaker doesn't hand rear and will sell to anyone willing to buy one. You have to be carefull as there are alot of scamers out there, I know for a fact Joy will not allow her birds to leave till there fully weaned. I brought birds off Joy before and i can tell you there very friendly the female sun conure i brought off her chewed through her box on the way home climbed up my shoulder and started cuddling and preening me. I no longer have my pair of sun conures as they were killed and eaten by a snake this was before i moved. We lived beside a vacant land back then. Joy is a very good breeder and spends a good amount of time handling and playing with her birds. Ash you will have no problems your green cheek conure will be a very friendly well adjusted bird.

the second hates me with a passion the first loves me too much

 

[swaddo]

reckon wild birds are great, but cant handle them in cages. just don't think it is right to cage them up.

Which are the quieter/less exciteable parrots? Speaking from experience please (all parrots are considered loud by the general public)

I know all parrots chatter and whistle... but do they only do that lovely ear shattering schreech when they're upset? Any breeds that are known for being quieter/more laid back?
