After living in our home for 34 years, we've decided to move to the country! We purchased a nice home on 2.2 acres of land. What I'm most excited about is no longer having to worry about neighbors being disturbed by the sounds from my birds and parrots, especially my macaws. Our aviary has rarely been used on account of our neighbor's intense sensitivity to sound, called misophonia. Unfortunately my birds' vocalizations is one of the sounds that will throw her into feelings of hate, anger and rage. But that is about to change, as I plan on moving the aviary with us for my birds to enjoy! Can't wait!

Woo! Congratulations! It sounds wonderful! I'm sure it will be a lot of work to get everyone moved in and settled but it sounds like it'll be a great change for you and your flock! Alfie has moved twice with me too - he's pretty boisterous for a grey though and seems to handle change pretty well, even major ones like moving house or moving cage. He's lived in three different houses and four different cages over his lifetime.

Congratulations! Sounds like a wonderful new home (and land - lots of space!!!) I bet you and your guys will really love and enjoy it! My grey had 2 moves with me -- while he hated change, I found that as long as his main cage was arranged the same inside and was placed in a similar position in the new home -- he adjusted quite well. My macaw, amazon and 'tiel all seemed to enjoy change -- so your guys are in for a real treat -- esp with an outdoor aviary!

Oh, yes she has. While I love my current home, having remodeled it to our tastes, we've never been able to completely relax here. I am constantly closing windows and doors whenever my birds get too loud so as not to set her off. My 4 new neighbors all have animals: horses, chickens, dogs, etc. It will be amazing to not be chastized for our birds animal vocalizations.

The only downside to taking him to the event last weekend...? He's been practicing what sounds an awful lot like some macaw noises/screeches.... 🤣

Oh, that looks like such a fun time! Love the videos & pics! Thank you for sharing them with those of us who have nothing like that near us!
