Conservation Hopes

Everyone has their own favorite parrot, on the edge of extinction or not. Few people would not help parrots in any way they can. I want to highlight some positive things that are happening around the world for parrots and urge you to donate to any of the organizations that are helping your favorite parrot.

Fall in Love with African Grays

Congo African Gray Parrots want to be loved. If you have one in your life, you will find out how easy it is to love them back. I have three now and was talking about them in a bird store to a woman who had a sweet boy CAG on her shoulder. He’s a talker, she said, and a lover. I could see by how close he was to her, cheek to cheek basically, while the scary lady came and talked to her. They are just adorable.

A Day in the Life of Scooter, a Button Quail

Actually, there’s not much to say about Scooter’s day. He scoots across his cage when the lights come on. He paces the cage and drinks and eats. He panics whenever I go into the room. He hates being alone and calls mournfully for a mate to find him. Typical male button quail, typical Scooter. So here’s the rest of his story.

Io and Jessie Carry On

The big romance in my flock is keeping me amused. While there’s no chance African Grays Blind Io and Jessie will get the chance to actually mate and raise chicks, I find it interesting to watch the course of their little almost romance. CAG Bo Dangles is less than thrilled about the whole thing and has refused to leave her cage for months, now.
