BaxtersMom Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Here are a couple recent pictures of my flock. One was taken on Christmas Eve. They all get along pretty well together most of the time. The only one I am worried about it Cooper the dyh amazon. Tigger the elecltus likes to fly to his cage and they haven't ever fought but Cooper can get kind of beaky with Tigger but Tigger doesn't budge. Bonkers the conure and Baxter my grey are buddies and hang out with each other all the time. Lately they all want to be near me where ever I am which gets kind of crazy sometimes. The picture with the 3 of them started out as just Baxter on the perch spending some time with me. Then Tigger gets lonely and flies in. I put him on a smaller perch but he noticed all the dropped goodies in the bigger perch and had to go see if any of it was good:lol: Bonkers doesnt like to be left out of anything so he arrived within a few minutes. Baxter and Bonkers try to be friendly with everyone. Tigger tolerates everyone but not real interested in being friends and Cooper I think is just playful but can get rough. Well, anyway, that's the latest pics of my babies{Love-000200BF} Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

judygram Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Nice flock Erika, they are all nice healthy looking birds and I am sure there is never a dull moment in the house, thanks for sharing them with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaxtersMom Posted January 9, 2009 Author Share Posted January 9, 2009 Thanks everyone. I love all my babies:kiss: I appreciate the comments about them looking healthy. Whew! I am always worrying about if they are getting all they need. It's nice to know it shows. No, there is never a dull moment at my house and there is always something going on. I have a whistler and a sound effects bird (Baxter), a squaker (Bonkers), a good talker (Tigger) and a singer (Cooper) Sometimes all at once:woohoo: Nope, never a dull moment at my house. Wouldn't change it for the world either;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janfromboone Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Wow!! What a beautiful flock. They all seem to be happy free in the same room. How did you accomplish that. From reading the forum I thought that often getting a grey to get along with other species or even another grey could be a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaxtersMom Posted January 9, 2009 Author Share Posted January 9, 2009 I guess I am just pretty lucky with them all getting along. I didn't really do anything to make them get along they just kind of do. Baxter is friendly with all of them and he was never around other birds before this. I never tried to keep them apart. If they "ended up" near each other. I would just watch them to see their reaction. If one decided to get aggressive I would make sure I could step in fast but so far so good:) Tigger will let out a roar if he doesn't like someone in his space or if someone/bird gets to close to him but when they are all out in a nuetral area I've never had any problems. Cooper is still pretty new and he is young and gets so excited about everything. He's quite hyper:laugh: and I don't fully trust him around the other ones yet so I'm still keeping an eye on him.

LindaMary Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 What a gorgeous gang you've got, Erika! Thanks for the pictures! I love your description of their various vocalizations - I am trying to imagine a parrot roaring! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaxtersMom Posted January 9, 2009 Author Share Posted January 9, 2009 :laugh: He does roar, really. It sounds like a really mad or scared cat with it's back all hunched and making that very loud growl sound:blink: but he pronounces it "Roar" That's his way of saying don't come near me. One good roar or growl to Bonkers mainly & he knows to go somewhere else. The first night I brought him home he did that to me and it scared the crap out of me:laugh: I thought "Oh No What did I do?" I thought I had a wild bird on my hands but he is the sweetest of the bunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casper Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Erika, they are all beautiful! They all look so well and happy doing their own thing. You should be very proud of your flock. And yourself for doing a great job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMustee Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 They are too cute Erika. I really want to add Ethel to my flock but I would be a bit worried about letting them get that close...concidering Ethel beak is bigger then Elmo's head.:laugh: That is really cool that your flock gets along as well as they do...and look so darn cute doing it too.

Goralka08 Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Love your flock, Erika! The 2nd picture cracks me up because Tigger looks like he is the scrap picker upper and just waiting for food to drop! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
