Do you have a picture? I loved our parrot SO much! It was like losing a child to lose her.

We share our home with one named ZaZoo. Wonderful little parrots!! A vocabulary that seems to never stop.

What makes them so messy in a cage is that they fly back and forth a lot and thus the hulls get blown all over. My English Budgies were better talkers then most of the large parrots. > > > > > > > > Beau was my first male English baby......so sweet and what a talker!. He would say 'Morn Mom!', when I got up in the AM. He called every bird in the house by their names and gave a kissy sound. Some times he would call a buddy in another cage by name and then add 'watch'a doing?' When my son would go out the door, he would say 'close the door!' He spoke very clearly and had a sweet baby sound to his voice. I really to this day miss that little fellow. > > > > > > > > <image002.png> > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > -------Original Message------- > > > > > > > > From: Pam Dean > > > > Date: 4/28/2012 2:52:57 PM > > > > To: [email protected] > > > > Subject: Re: [Chihuahuas] OT: My Silly Rainbow [1 Attachment] > > > > > > > > > > > > Parrots are much less messy than parakeets too. Mu Quaker eats pellets and people food vs seed and that leaves much less mess than a parakeet engenders. I love Ozzie but find him much more emotionally needy and attention needy than my dogs. But there is something about a species that can actually tell you "Mommy, I love you" in your own language that melts your heart not to mention endlessly singing Jingle bells and Old Mcdonald, lol. Ozzie is a ham and loves to be photographed... > > > > > > > > From: Peggy & The Girls <phrpg5@...> > > To: [email protected] > > Sent: Thursday, April 26, 2012 12:58 AM > > Subject: Re: [Chihuahuas] OT: My Silly Rainbow > > > > > > > > > > > > That's sad. Some people have no common sense with animals. I knew of one jerk that took a wire dog brush and was going to brush his small parrot! Duh!! > > > > > > > > Rainbow is not messy at all. She is a green-cheek conure, one of the quieter birds. She is bigger then a parakeet, but much smaller then a cockatiel. Her species can't scream, they only have a low sweet sound. Being messy depends upon the bird and the type of cage and the type of feeders that you use. Rainbow has large hooded ceramic feeders and the hulls just fall back into the dish. She has a deep tray that holds the wood shaving and she is very clean about it. When she poops, she goes to the bottom of her cage and pushes the shavings over it and then pushes the little pile to the corner of her cage. She is a sweet bird that loves to be held and scratched, and lay on her back in the palm of your hand. I have had since she was a hand-fed baby and come July she will be 22 yrs old. > > > > > > > > <image002.png> > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > -------Original Message------- > > > > > > > > From: abmattox@... > > > > Date: 4/26/2012 12:35:17 AM > > > > To: [email protected] > > > > Subject: Re: [Chihuahuas] OT: My Silly Rainbow > > > > > > > > So cute!
