Rue Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 I have a quiet moment...so I thought I'd post a couple of pictures... This is a group shot of my 3 larger parrots... Nickel is the grey, she's the 4 year old rehome who came to us plucked. I don't have a DNA certificate, but when we got her, she was housed next to an adult male, and she's much smaller and daintier... Ever is the 13+ year old Green-cheeked Amazon. We know she's a girl, she was surgically sexed at some point in time. Pekoe is the 3 year old White-capped Pionus. Again, I don't know for certain that he's a male. But given his personality - he sure acts like a male. So unless he lays an egg and proves us wrong...we'll just keep calling him a a him! And please, excuse the mess...:whistle: This is Nickel, as she came to us: And this is Nickel now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luvparrots Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Love your pictures and your flock. As an almost grey owner (my baby is due to come home in mid-November) I for one appreciate your "mess" because it lets me see what I can look forward to. I'm sure I can handle it. Thanks for sharing!!!:cheer: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rue Posted October 14, 2008 Author Share Posted October 14, 2008 Thanks! I think she just feels secure here. She had a change of homes before we got her, and the 2nd household that took her in kept her by herself in the laundry room... Here she's in a busy household of birds, dogs, cats, kids - so lots for her to watch and take part in. :laugh: She has a couple of issues we still need to work with...but all told she's doing well... ...and thanks for mentioning the mess...

Rue Posted October 14, 2008 Author Share Posted October 14, 2008 Thanks! Pekoe (the white-cap) we got as a just-weaned baby. He's a real character. He'll fly behind me through the house :blink: . LOL...not quite the same as being followed by the dog, but similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
