Just checking in

[neoow]

Hi all!

Apologies for being a bit radio silent recently. I do check in every so often but haven't responded to posts for a while and haven't started any new discussions recently.

So I thought I'd just check in, say hello and see how everyone and their flocks are doing?

Alfie and I are doing good. Work is crazy busy at the moment for me but life with Alfie is good. He had a routine vet appointment last week to have his beak burred (it grows out wonky so he has to have some help every so often to keep it in check). He was the best boy, as usual. Pretty sure he gave the vet a bit of a run around first off but they all seem to love him there, so I don't think he was TOO boisterous!! He also got to go in my new car, which he wasn't too happy about at first as it's a different size, shape and colour to my previous one. So that warranted a short adjustment period for him. I'm very thankful that Alfie is not change adverse and takes a lot of things in his stride.

I've got a ticket to go to the 'Think Parrot' show again this year in June and this year I decided to book a hotel to break up the driving. So I'm heading down on the Saturday, going to the show on the Sunday and returning home on Monday. Alfie is coming with me for the whole trip so that'll be an experience for him. I double checked with the hotel that they're ok for a parrot to stay - I paid extra for a 'pet' but they probably normally expect dogs so I figured I'd better check to make sure we didn't get turned away!

Alfie also turned 22 years old on April 16th. I didn't get him any goodies for his birthday- I'm saving up for the parrot show to buy him lots of toys/treats and various other bits and pieces. So he'll get some belated birthday presents then!

Hope those of you that are still hanging around and checking in to the forums are all well and good? Hope your flocks are all good too, of course!

Aaand of course, got to remember the photo-tax! 😁

Good to hear from you and Alfie again.   Been really quiet around here.  I'm guilty of that as I only come around when I want something, kind of like my Greys 😆

Aww, handsome Alfie!

Not much to report bird-wise from my world. Am looking into options to help dampen the noise in our home. We don't have any carpets, so I'm hoping to find some sort of sound paneling that I can move across the bird area as needed. With 10 birds, no one can hear what the other is saying when they all decide to have a little birdie conference!

We are all good here at Timber's house! Alfie takes a beautiful picture. You are blessed that he isn't change averse. Timber gets a mad-on when I change the color of my nail polish, ha. 

Good to hear from everyone!

HI !  I check in but when I dont see any new posts, I dont log in. I appreciate everyone checking in here!  My Nilah turned 16 last week. No special presents for her. She is celebrated and spoiled every day..so.I did sing happy birthday to her, but she didnt care!  My flock is good, of course with springtime, my amazon is yelling her head off, but this too shall pass.

 

Here is a few updated pics!  I rarely get the 3 together in 1 pic, so I am happy with that one!

Beautiful birds! I love seeing pictures.
