Hi there, My name is Dennis Ooijer and I am 22 years old. I have been in love with birds for as long as I remember.
I have 2 budgies and 1 cockatiel, the budgies being both 2 years old of age and the cockatiel 1 year old.
Recently (past august) I have bought a 'baby' african grey, 6 weeks old, and hand feeded him from there on. He was being attacked (not really, but his brothers were seriously threatening him to do so) by his fellow brothers so the breeder decided to get him out since he was not getting enough food.
I have been wanting to buy an african grey for so long, and read so much about them, but I just never found the right opportunity to get one. I even took care of one for 2 3 weeks while a friend went on a vacation to practise and see if this is something for me.
Turns out it sure is! And I am loving it right now. He's out and playing almost all day long and he seems so very happy!
Here are two short videos of him, one featuring my cockatiel as well, they just love eachother!
Him being around 7 weeks old:
And this one is recorded today, he's around 4 months old now
Anyway, I hope to hang around here a lot Please forgive me if my English sucks, it's not my native language
