Blue-crowned conure video

Oh, I love a good gourmet food video . . .

Just get us a grocery sack or some string . . . that keeps us entertained for hours. Well, it would . . . if we stayed awake that long.

Whoa, I know your guy is WAY more articulate!

What a cool bird, though.

HAhahaha !!! That bird made me chuckle

Sounds like that bird needs a barbeque. With him as guest of honor!

Ha! You know, a friend of mine has birds, and one time this cockatiel she had was on the table, nibbling on the Thanksgiving turkey. I told her it was a dangerous, cannibal bird and to watch out !

I'd be happy to give Rio a brief mental status exam. He seems a little fixated on correct grammar usage and obviously has conflicted feelings about his human Mom.......hmm

That was funny!

It sounded like a few phrases in there were, pretty bird, but I won't swear to it.

My nanday, Merlin, says I love you; kiss, kiss; I wanna dance and the first thing he learned was to laugh. My mother found Merlin on the roof of an IHOP. She talked to him and he flew down to her and let her pick him up. After she brought him home, he decided he wanted to be with me.

My yellow collared mini-macaw, Dooldles, says hello and loves to play peek-a-boo and gets after Merlin when he won't shut up. She's is one of the last imported and wears a bracelet with that number on it. I found her at a flea market seven years ago. Poor thing apparently had been left alone and had pulled out her breast and leg feathers. She didn't know what handling was, much less fruits, veggies or peanuts!

My cat, Mr. Lucky, ignores them both. Lucky was found treed by 2 of my mom's dogs at 2 months of age. Don't know where he came from, but is an American Curl.

Yes, a cat person caught in both worlds.

Are there no mini-macaws imported from South America anymore?

That's cool that you rescued all your animals from bad situations.

Little red stockings? From Vicky's Secret?

Yes, I have saved them all. You should have seen Mr. Lucky at two months old. I could hold him in one hand, now I need a crane to lift his 25 pounds. My vet said he was going to be a big cat and he wasn't wrong!

God, yes, Merlin is loud! But he's beautiful and so silly!

Doodles has a few chest feathers and all of her leg feathers now. I forgot to all that she's missing two toes on one foot and one toe on the other, that were either taken off my mama bird or when she was imported.

Now, this is what's interesting: After having her for two years, a clear bone or it actually looks like a nail began growing. My vet was surprised and couldn't understand why and how. My guess was her diet. What's your thoughts on this A?

It's right where a nail should be. No, he didn't run any tests on her. Before she had a hard time moving around and couldn't stand on one foot, where she can now.

I think it was her diet. When I put three fruits on a string for them to nibble on, she didn't know what it was for. Then she watched Merlin eating from it and began her adventure of learing new foods.

I also fix a bean/corn mix for them. When I pull out the corn tortillias, Merlin has a fit until he gets some pieces to nibble on.
