Largo the Amazon has Pals

by San on January 1, 2009

It’s been a month or so now and he is one of the most traveled birds to the flock here!  He has traveled with Jordan the Grey to the hotel and has done nicely— sitting quietly in the car and on the cage top in the room.

It’s your shift for watch guard Jordan!

He now has been acclimated with all the small and medium size birds —Largo being the largest—other than the two macaws do stand alone being largest!

I have lots of birds!  It is that simple – lots and all different sizes, ages, and personalities. Just because they may seem easy or carefree or less responsibility than a dog it is not.  Birds end up in rescue, just like any other dog, cat, bunny, reptile!

I believe if anyone wants any living thing in their house, it is very important to know just what one is getting into.  Personally, I believe nothing is easy even if it seems so, but making sure one has the know how and interest, it is all worth it!

Here are a few bird basic things to consider if you want a bird in your household.

Parrots should not be be caged animals!  Parrots need stimulation. Buy appropriate toys for the type parrot  you choose. Some birds love to chew on wood, while some love cute little dangling bells and beads.  Hopefully you are not thinking to buy a bird to just look at it like a fish!  I have known people buy birds to fit the rooms color decor!

What sex am I? –avian genetics!

by San on December 4, 2008

Yes,  I just found out how easily it is to find out what breed your mixed breed pup might be — simple DNA blood test — cheek swab and then send it off and your pup’s results come back.  It is wonderful how science has come such a long way and now unless one does not want to shell out about, $65, one can answer that mystery question, “what kind of dog do I have?

Well, I did not forget this blog is about birds!  I have birds too, and  more parrots in this household than dogs!  Actually only one dog, but I do not have more birds, and I do not mean just 2! 14? 15?  I forget the actual number, only how many of this or that and if they are accountable on the family perch or cages out side!
