Installing Indoor Cat Tree

[Snowy]

Went to Tropical Birdland near leicester on Saturday. Brilliant place, my boys love it. Saw this little chap ... bless. A face only a mother could love ...

 

Hopefully though he'll soon look like these African Grey babies ...

 

This Macaw was the most gorgeous colour ...

 

And I did try to sneak this cutie out with me but OH put his foot down

 

It is amazing when they just walk all over you. The cockatoo was nibbling my shirt and cuddling up to my ear!

Lovely pics Snowy. I adore that first chick!

Is that how hens go when they re-feather after the moult?

[Guest]

Coo....that first one is a real looker.....

[bronze]

those colours are beautiful

No wonder they preen themselves all the time

I like the expression on the face of the African grey (back left) Very cute and appealing!

[Mrs Frugal]

Great pics

 

Before I was born my dad was in the merchant navy and spent a lot of time in Africa. In his wisdom he brought back an African grey parrot It went to live with his aunt and uncle but at some point found its way back to us. It was a girl and hated women , however it liked me because I shared my Ready Brek with it and gave it a smartie everyday It used to swear like a trooper and sing “Magic Moments” (not sure if that is the title of the song) Just seeing those little birds has brought back a flood of memories.

 

Thank you Snowy

[ubereglu]

[Chocobo]

Aww I like those african grey parrots,best talkers in the parrot kingdom... Iwant one!

[Snowy]

It's a great place, my sons love it!

OK here are some more pics:

 

My son just wanted to collect as many as he could

 

This african Grey invited himself to lunch!

 

An old bird with some young birds. I look a bit anxious because the one on my shoulder was busy chewing a hole in my collar! (But note the BHWT bag got a good showing!)

 

They breed and sell the African Greys - OH looked interested until he found out the price!

[Guest]

 

Fab pics Snowy, they remind me of a place we v isited on honeymoon in M exico, which bred parrots.

[Louise]

I have to ask Snowy How much were the african greys

 

I always wanted one but obviouslt can't with the cats in the house but I am curious none the less

[Snowy]

They ranged between £400 and £600 Louise! (could buy a new eglu for that!)

[Guest]

Wonderful photos - most babies looke wrinkley don't they when a day or two old - but the do grow into their faces pdq

 

Thanks for sharing

[Louise]

Okay that is quite expensive but not as much as I was expecting

 

Too much money to risk in a house with three cats though Can you imagine the scene feathers everywhere an 'it wasn't me' innocent look on their faces after a £600 lunch

[Guest]

Louise, we have 4 cockateils in the living room, and we've only had one near miss with the cats, and that was when one of the boys left the cage open by mistake. The cats don;t give them a second glance when the cage is shut.

Mine are absolute demons though Shona

 

Chips tried to get the semi tame Pheasant the other day
