Lovely photos and such beautiful birds! Thank you for digging the photos out. I love the close up baby photo. Looks like a bird with attitude... and a mohawk!

So, summarize...LOL....

Ah yeah- I could see that taking some time! Happy to have very brief introductions though!! 😂 Bengals are amazing cats. I've never really been a cat person until we got these two. Their personalities remind me of dogs more than cats. They are crazy, energetic, curious and strong willed. But they are also incredibly loyal and affectionate (in their own way). neither of mine are "lap cats" but they have their own way of showing and receiving affection. Widget will wait for me to come home from work and come trotting down the stairs to say hello and get a bit of fuss. I was away this week on holiday and according to my housemate he would wait on the stairs watching the front door waiting for me to come home. Their fur is incredible as well. It feels so soft and silky smooth. They do keep us on our toes though. They are smart, like you say and will often finds new ways to get into mischief!

He was- I was trying to convince him to go in his travel cage so he could see the new aviary for the first time. He wasn't having any of it!! 😂 I had a lovely break away but I was glad to get home this evening. Alfie enjoyed lots of head scratches!

Just because it's been a little quiet around here lately I thought I'd start a thread for everyone to share a little bit about their birds and other pets. Feel free to include photos Maybe start with something along the lines of: Pet name: Species/breed: Age: How long have you been owned by this pet? Character/traits of your pet: Pets favourite thing/activity: ---- Add any other interesting information about your pets!

Hello, I've joined because I need advice. My dream bird is an African Grey and I have just come across the opportunity to possibly adopt a 9month old boy. Now.. a friend of mine has said that they are likely to suffer behavior issues from the change in circumstances.. Is this true? What should I expect? The bird will be coming from a 2 grey to 1 grey family, with a different routine but it's same old cage and toys. The bird will be being shipped, so will have that to deal with. I want to provide the best home and support possible, but also don't want to discover I've taken on more than I can handle.. I have a LOT of time on my hands, as I am disabled so don't work. Therefore giving time to the bird is not an issue. However, I've owned budgies but never proper (so to speak) parrots before and want to know from owners what I'd be getting into by buying a 9month old who needs to be shipped and will undergo big living changes. Any advice at all is welcome!

I've been away on holiday for a week and travel home tomorrow. Thought I'd post some photos of Alfie as I'm looking forward to seeing him when I get home.

Loved the pictures! Thanks for posting

Hi Ini, where are you from? I live in the State of Washington, USA. There are two kinds of African Greys, Congo and Timneh. They are different looking and their personalities are different. Timnehs, (tags), are smaller and usually more mellow then Congos, (Cags) for example. So glad you have joined the Grey Family. We love pictures by the way😀.

My housemate very kindly looked after Alfie whilst I was away for the week. Although he wouldn't let Alfie out of the cage (which I totally understand as he's still a little wary of Alfie and would probably have difficultly getting him back in the cage) I was safe in the knowledge that Alfie was being looked after in a familiar environment by a familiar person instead of having to find him somewhere to reside for a week whilst I was away. Made it a lot easier for everyone!

YES...Wonderful. thank you....

At least he didn't pout! Beautiful pics.

☺️If you have bred parrots, you don't think twice about this....and to those who haven't bred parrots, when you finally come in contact with them, they are fluffy little feather dusters. Okay, pin quills: this is a rolled feather covered in keratin. All new feathers are covered in keratin, example, like a folded umbrella in a sheath. As babies, when you feed them and play with them you can use your fingernail to help take the keratin off. Cockatoos are very funny...we call them Q-tips. When the wing feathers start to grow, they pick the keratin off at the tip of the feather first which leaves a feathered tip and a tight sleeve of keratin...it looks like Q-tips hanging from their bodies..I've attached an example. All parrot babies are prickly little pears. When the babies grow, you can see and feel the new feathers with sheaths around them. 😁 Fun Fact:

What an adorable photo. Thank you for the information as well. I'd love to be able to see/witness some baby parrots growing up. I've only ever seen photos and videos.

I've always wanted a Bengal cat! They are incredibly smart, drop dead gorgeous, and such very active cats!

We have a total of 19 birds and pets, so sadly my portion of this thread would turn out extremely long!

Alfie's adorbs! Although he looks like he's throwing in some grey shade in that one second up from the bottom!

Thank you, for those of us who never breed and haven’t seen new babies. That was a fun fact to see!

He came home with his sister Pixel at 13 weeks old in 2011 Character/traits of your pet: energetic and playful. Extremely vocal with a very unique meow.

They wanted to go outside to the aviary so were standing up at the back door yelling at me!

Haha poor Salsa. Not surprised she threw a fit. Naptime is serious business! 😂

What a happy hungry group.

Felix may not be the most polite of neighbors, but he is entertaining!

In Gods Name, I LOVE YOU ALL..
