Some of the flock -

[Rue]

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!

[Rue]

OMG, what a mess:woohoo: :whistle: :blush: sorry I just had to do that.:whistle:

 

Boy that is some improvement in Nickel, you have done a wonderful job with her. You have some good looking birds, thanks for sharing them with us.

 

I just love the last shot of Nickel, she looks like she is saying "What you looking at, punk, you want a piece of me":woohoo: :lol: B)

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:

[Rue]

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...

What beautiful birds you have! What a difference in the two pictures! Well done you have given her another chance of life! I cant believe someone would treat her like that! Putting her in a laundry room!

ditto from me you did a great job and commend you on taking her into your home and beautiful birds period i love the pionus as well

[Rue]

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.
