Hi All, just joined and currently have Echo (green quaker) Steve (blue quaker) babies now about 8 months old. They are just starting to mumble some words and make kisses and I have to admit their little growls are the cutest thing ever.
Echo sadly has developed a scarily bad self mutilation habit and is currently collared which was a horrible experience to go through! not sure if anyone else has experienced this in such a young bird but our vet is not optimistic for her long term
We also have a young Indian ringneck (Bonnie), she has no issues talking, its getting her to stop that's hard. my mobile phone case is covered in beak marks and I have learnt quickly not to ignore my Fids and try to talk on the phone- how rude of me.
Lastly we have a little lovebird (chicken) and since Spring has arrived rather early here this year she is seeming to resemble a rather spiky porcupine with all her pinnies at the moment the poor thing.
Has been great reading through all of your tales and stories and these little birds rather quickly become part of the family.
