Hi Everyone!

[Junkzoo]

Hello to everyone! I happened to see the Forum mentioned on The Reef Tank, and thought i would join and say Hi to everyone, Shirley is a dear friend of mine, and she can probably vouch for me being here LOL. Will check out this board more in the morning, since i just got home from work, and my eyes are starting to cross.Will also post my experience in Bird/Parrots ASAP, and everything else that most of probably don't want to hear,,;)

:dance::highfive::Happywave:tighthug::agree: Oh I'm so excited to see you here Jeff!!! Now there aren't many pets he hasn't had or trained or tamed... and he is the whisperer of animals... they just love him to death! 'cept maybe christie our kitty... And... I believe he will soon be Daddy to a lovely Rosy Bourke's in a couple three weeks!! :dance: And I can't wait to see pics of his flock... and quite up there in years, I might add... :)

Hi Jeff, It is nice to meet you. I am glad Shirley gave you such a nice compliment. It sounds like you'd make a great bird parent.

[Jean]

I have helped with some temporary care of a few Too's and CAG's in addition to our nanday conure and Elvie our male U2 we got almost 11 years ago.

Hi Jeff!!!

[Junkzoo]

Well, inna nutshell, peanut,palm ,walnut whatever kind LOL,,
1-Med sulpher-crested 'Too,(Sinbad) bought him(my second bird aftera 'tiel)in '79,,wild caught(gotta remember it was 1979) totally tame/bonded to me,,

1- Blue -front Amazon (Gumby) Got him from a LFS my sister worked at , (i managed the other store in the "chain" (of two)) hand raised, but turned totally nutzo toward me when he/she became sexually mature,,,

1 - Alexandrine- he was a adopted bird (from my sister, who adopted it from a friend of hers, she was wary of her young boys getting fingers in the cage, so i adopted it. lost this beautiful bird about 6 -8 months ago, unknown cause,,,had it about 6-7 years,,,

1- Yellow -collared Macaw- Sunshine was a adopted bird also, very bonded to me , would fly across the house to be near me, and regurg "feed" me(good thing i knew this was a "good " thing LOL. lost Sunshine about 2 years ago also, still miss/ think about her,,,

1- Sunshine(pre-named) from my sister also, who got it from another friend who could not keep it any longer,A Senegal, not that friendly, has a few "issues" minor plucking,,,but still a nice bird,,,(does better with no attention/ interaction)Spent it's prev life in Hawaii,,,(lucky boid):funny:

2- tiels,male /female, mama lays non viable eggs (the two are separated)
My wife got these birds, and of late does not do that much with them , so I have "adopted" them,good birds ,very animated,

To add, my reef tanks, 4 mini-doxies(all adopted/rescued) 2 German Shepherds(ditto,one adopted, one rescued) the adopted one was a son of my cousin's Police K9 dog, and was to be used on a local town soon to be K9 unit, the unit never happened , so the officer did not want the "extra" burden of a dog that was not going to be a working "partner" . when i found out about it (being a son of my cousin's dog) i made sure i was the one to get him here,,,everything here enjoys the good life LOL and most all of them eat better than me/us !
Thanks for the kind words Shirley, and the same to you,
You are a super great person to know, and a fine fixture to this board!:biggthump
Pics o ' the feathered friends(and prob everyone else too) will follow , hopefully soon, and i get everything together around here,,,

Hi Jeff, great to meet you . I must say I admire you with a rescue for over 20 years:beerchug:


I have had Toto (M2) nearly 21 years and Ollie (Tiel) 16 years and they can be a handful sometimes:holy:
It will be great to share your experiences;)

[Bill]

Hi Jeff! I also have a medium sulfur crested too! Scooter is my princess. I am so glad you are here with us! I look forward to reading about your flock and reef.

Welcome!

Hi Jeff!! You sound like you'll add some great wisdom, hehehe


I think it's awesome you've given your home to those birds in need!! I believe that too, as I have just adopted my 2 birds in Feb. It is a wonderful feeling to give a bird a much needed loving home :agree:
