Working with Cherry

One place where Cherry the Red Belly is comfortable is on my bed...way down at the end of it mind ya but that's as close as she wants to be to a human right now. Today I recieved an order for some more hemp boings & a hemp swing, two of which go to Cherry. I think she'll love it & she did get another big toy...merry xmas Cherry girl.

PS - all the birdies got toys for xmas.

She is such a pretty bird...

Peanut

Today was clean & scrub the bird cages & shower the birds day. lol I took a few pictures of Peanut my lovebird. I had my nails done a few weeks back & he noticed right away that I had bright red nail polish on so he would NOT come to me. lol He's fully flighted so he can get away if he wants. My husband had to get him for me to put him back in his cage. lol So funny what scares them off but I very rarely wear it, and he knows it. lmao

My 18 yr old's drivers test

I have to admit, I'm a little nervous for him. Tonight I take him for his drivers test. It's one of those things that you know how to drive but can drive under pressure?? I can drive great & I know my son can drive great but put me in the seat with someone testing you & you forget it all. lol I hope my son doesn't get nervous & passes with flying colors. It's been a long time coming. He did take defensive driving so that's one check mark for him. I took the same program 26 or more yrs ago & I've never been in an accident and I also recall everything I learned. Here's wishing him the best! *Cheers* Love you son!!

Got a good bite

Well yesterday upon feeding my birds & letting them out of their cages for the free time. I got a good bite from Cherry. I feel so horrible that she's like this. This is not what I had in mind when wanting a female RB....she's supposed to be hand fed & socialized but you can tell she was not. No one can get her but me & I can only get her to sometimes step up & put her on her cage, she's still clipped from when the breeders sent he to me. So very sad, I feel let down, I also feel like she's been let down. She's just a bird that is happy at her cage with no human contact. :( SO heartbreaking. She doesn't even take food out of our hands, you have to stick it in a dish & walk away from her cage, then she will proceed to go eat it.

Blue Throated Conure - Pickles

My xmas present this year is a Blue Throated Conure. He/she just flew here by plane on Friday. What a sweetheart & a cuddle bug. Right now he/she is in quarantine in my bedroom with me so....so far he's quite, I'll say he for now. He's just beautiful & can't wait until he's full grown so he has full color. They're a more rare Conure & I am very blessed to have him. I sure am a Conure freak. The Poi & Conures are just my favorite. I've attached a couple of pics of him when he first arrived home.

Red Belly - Cherry

I haven't been on since my Meyers Parrot (Pumpkin) passed away. It's been a very heartbreaking journey to say the least. Seth (my 6yr old) asks weekly about him...and often says how much he misses him, which brings me to tears. He was so sweet & so stunning. I'm going to attach a few pics of him....

Back to Cherry my female Red Belly...She's been here about 4 months now or a bit more, she's very very shy. Will step up but then she wants me to put her some where. She won't cuddle or nothing. The breeder did tell me she was a little shy & that a cuddle while the football game was on would fix that....well that's not true. She's still just a shy as she was when she arrived at our house. It breaks my heart because she's just beautiful! She's talking a bit, she says "hi Kiwi"...lol Which is my Sennie. She does like her toys but wants to just be a bird....sigh.

Here are some pics of her:

I find it is so hard

To look at my Pumpkin's empty cage. I know that nothing can bring him back but I tear up just passing it. I can barely look at pics of him without crying my eyes out. I really need to get more company, I miss having the two. I can't wait for another Poi. I think they're the best group of bird ever. Just thought I'd share.

Red Bellys

Just a quick update on the Red Belly's. I have the choice of two, I am waiting to see what the DNA comes back as but I really don't care at this point, I just would like one. :-)

Can't shower alone

Even the birds want to come for a bath or shower when I do..there is no peace at home. lol Or shall I say privacy? lol

Just a few more pics

And a little update on Pumpkin the Meyers. He's definately not a bird that wants to be on his own, he wants human interaction all the time. Kiwi (Sennie) is more of a play hard type of guy..although he does want to be with humans a lot as well, he will play with his toys...Pumpkin however, barely touches them. lol Here are some pics.

Pumpkin the Meyers

He's really sweet, gentle & quiet unlike Kiwi who is way more bold & loud. LOL I will add a few pics.

My Black Capped Conure Coconut

He's so so so very sweet. Thought I'd share some of him/her. He has yet to be DNA'd.

Kiwi's Cage with his new toys

Man it's hard to get a good picture of his cage & the contents so here are some. I'll try for better.

Kiwi loves his hemp boing, it has bells & beads on it. I love your toys Marcy!!

My Linnies

This is of my Linnies, I have 4, Apple, Lemon, Oliver & Bleu

A little update & some pics to share

Well I have some sad news, the lovebird ended up not coming home to me, something was wrong with her & the breeder decided to keep her. She didn't want me to be unhappy so....I'm sad about it but.....what can you do & it was her very last one so.....

I have some pictures to share of my Linnies, Sennie & My Conures so keep a look out for new pics all over this blog. LOL

And I'm going to post my bird board link. I don't usually share my groups on here but I think I will. It's for people to help other bird owners, to share pictures, to laugh & love one another. I don't like people that SHOVE their opinions up one's...well ya know. ;o) LMAO So the links to all of my groups to come.

Stay tuned.......

Here are a couple of more pics

Of my Fischer Lovebird. :)

I was locked out

Of my own blog. Couldn't remember my password, whew, I'm finally here. lol

It's so cold in Winnipeg right now, there's a cold front in, I can't stand it. I'm off for some pellets today for the birds.

Well my lovebird can't come to me because of embargo has changed...now I have to wait to get him/her until January 18th. Ugh! Oh I should share a picture of him/her. Help with a name would be great. LOL

Good morning I think....

My vacation time is up, back to work tomorrow, it goes so so fast! Kiwi is in for a real treat while we're gone. Poor guy, he's getting used to me being home. lol I think he'll be fine. He seems to be able to take anything on so far. What a good boy he is!

So the breeder of Kiwi has Brown Headed Parrots on eggs....*slaps my hands* lol. Did I tell you all about Daisy the brown head? OMG she's the sweetest thing since kittens, I mean so quiet, gentle, loving. This is my breeders pet bird, she's just awesome!

My real wait was for a Meyers but hers haven't done anything yet so.....I dunno. :P

Oh right, I'm supposed to put that link to bubbas place on here...brb

Cold here in Winnipeg

Sure has been really cold here in Winnipeg the last few days. I'm not much of a winter person so this makes it hard to want to do anything. lol

I think we're heading out for lunch with the family soon. Other then that Kiwi thinks he should help me type:

Meeting Cheesepuff

I'm new at blogging & stuff, I run my own boards & have for yrs but this blogging stuff is new to me so hang in there. lol

I am adding a picture of the day we went to lunch at the mall. She was a good Sennie. lol

Kiwi's Cage

I have been slowly adding stuff to his cage, you know, he doesn't care how many or how fast they get put in his cage. lol

I've added a tree branch perch & two more toys...like I've said in the previous posts, I'm waiting on his swing I had made, a rope swing & a hemp boing & a cotton toy with blocks in it. This lady that makes toys is excellent. She makes them for my other birds as well.

Here is a few pics of his cage right now, keep in mind, I'm not done yet. lol

It's been a while Happy New Year

It's been a pretty busy one around here. Kiwi is just whistling like crazy! He's trying to talk to. What a sweet bird....he's not too keen on hubby but he will go to everyone which makes me very happy. He was/is very socialized. :-) Kiwi got a couple of new toys as we await his big purchase to arrive from the US.

Here is a picture my husband took of Kiwi on a big bowl of nuts, no they're not his, he was able to have one almond though. My hubby thought it was cute to put him on the bowl & take pics. LOL
