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.
