birdistheword Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 I am new to this forum and to forums in general, I wanted to join because no one I know seems to understand how important my birds are to me, so I guess I am just looking for others who understand. I have 2 African Greys, 3 Cockatoos, 2 Mccaws, 1 eclectus (female) and 2 quakers. A few have been rescues (so to speak). They are my world, and would be very sad without them. I don't have any human children, sadly. I look forward to getting to know you all and share stories and information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luvparrots Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Welcome to the family! I can't wait to hear about all your different parrots! What fun! Lots of pictures please!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray P Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Nice flock of fids. We also have a great amazon room and a honored amazon list also. Give me some time to get them all posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timbersmom Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Wow, that's an impressive list! I would like to see pics too. I have to say I can't imagine how expensive it is to keep all those birds happy and healthy. I've had Timber (TAG) for less than two months and have already spent more on his "things" than I can believe. It's worth it to me, but I can't imagine having to provide for 12! Kudos...

Sarasota Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 I had to stop and count. 12 large parrots...wow, impressive! I am looking forward to hearing (and seeing) all about your setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdistheword Posted July 26, 2012 Author Share Posted July 26, 2012 Thank you- Impressive, most say stupid or crazy. I say whatever>>><<< 9-large to medium and 3- small but yes, twelve is quite the undertaking, never a dull or idle minute. If I were rich as I would like to be they would have all of the best of everything, but as it stands I give them the best food I can afford which, as we all know is of many different opinions and ideals. Everyone does have a large cage for the particular species, make most everything I can as far as toys, enrichment and entertainment items. I have made just about, let me rephrase that, have tried to make just about anything you could possibly make yourself. Give them all the love and attention I possibly can. A few less would be ideal, but I don't think I could choose and don't want to. I am dreaming of a great outdoor aviary, (saving for materials and doing it myself). I am still researching the best configurations and cost of materials and in some instances where to purchase these items from. I could go on and on. I will post some pics soon.

judygram Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Hello Birdistheword and welcome to our family, my you do have a big flock of parrots. I am sure they reward you greatly for all the time you spend taking care of their many needs and wants, I couldn't imagine myself with so many but I admire those who go for what they want, must never be a dull moment in your home. I would like to see some pictures of all your flock, we have an other birds room where you can put them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLB Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Welcome! I can only repeat what the others have already said.....glad you found this forum and I look forward to seeing pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katana600 Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 You have come to the right place because we not only understand what your birds mean to you, we are of the same mind because our parrots mean so much to each of us. Whether we have one or a ton, each one is unique and valued as an individual. Seriously, before we brought home our first little parrot six years ago, I would not have understood the devotion either so I forgive extended family and friends for not getting it. Once they come and visit they love the stories they can tell but they still don't quite get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
