Thats fantastic bro. I'm delighted you got the job.

how about some pics of the feathered ones?

Chthulhu · Rawr.

I'll take some at the first opportunity.

I managed a few this afternoon; I'll try to get more this evening when the light is better and Demi can hopefully help.

Beautiful birds man.If you need to find a home for the Grey, I'll gladly volunteer! Venus has wanted a Grey for longer than I've known her.

Chthulhu · Rawr.

No, she'll be staying with us. If her previous owner's situation turns around, we'd want him to have her back.

Those are very pretty birds. How old are the conures?

& congratulations on the job :)

I fully understand.

Let me know if you happen across any Greys that wouldn't mind relocating to Missouri.

�We don't know, Issy; the male originally belonged to a friend from whom we inherited our other two African greys when she died 15 months ago, so we don't know his history beyond that. The female is at least two years old. The friend who gave them to us needed to make her environment less noisy so she could breed Senegal parrots, and suns are notoriously loud and noisy birds. <G>

And thank you.

We'll keep you in mind, but free parrots are a rarity most of the time. You might look into the parrot rescue groups; there are at least two in Missouri, though I don't know whether they're close to you.

Rescue birds are often excellent pets whose owners have died or are no longer able to care for the birds, but sometimes they can be birds with physical or emotional problems that most people wouldn't want.

Our two Congo greys are "special needs" birds: the male is blind and the female has no toes (her parents bit them off when she was a chick - usually a sign that the owner was pushing the parents to breed again before the current chicks were ready to leave them).

We took them in because no one else involved in rehoming our late friend's hundred-plus pets was interested in less-than-perfect birds, and they've been a delight to have here.
