Ha ha ! I'm suddenly like that now. Sinse having Charlie (AG), mostly every day I do research on parrots of all kinds. When I'm in work and I call my Mum just for a chat I always ask how Charlie is, is he eating, has he talked, it feels as though I have another Sibbling in the family ! It deffintly is a fever, I'm going on holiday next November, and I'm already faffing about Charlie i.e who will look after him when we go away ! I'm attached to them now, and I honestly don't think I couldn't NOT have an AG around the house, I never used to be interested in parrots !  |

I only have a TAG right now, and figure I have time/money/space for one more bird someday. The problem is, deciding which kind to get. I would love to have a senegal, a canary, a lovebird, a pionus, or a meyer's. Or maybe a second TAG or a CAG. Or some kind of macaw, although realistically, that one will never happen.
Nikko seems content to be an only bird right now, so I probably won't decide for awhile. Although I still think a lot about the CAG I met at the bird rescue. I wonder if anyone's adopted that sweetheart yet?

omg we have a 24 week old Blue & Gold Macaw at work and we've started a bond ( its sad some one else might be buying her ) today i was holding her and she was trying to feed me, i just found out shes a she. omg she is so sweet and gets all excited when she see's me every morning almost hanging upside down next to her food bowl cuz she can poke her head out of there.... i fell for this bird big time, i hope they dont come n get her.... cuz i will...... ;D i thought in an earlier post that she was 20 weeks but she is 24 weeks

Traci, I know how you feel as well. I spend allot of my free time at the pet store and they have a Macaw there that someone left as a boarder and never came back for. I think its a green wing. It is so playful, I took it out of its cage today and it will lay on its back while you rub its belly. The pet store can't sell the bird for a year incase the owner comes back to claim it. I would love to have a Macaw but I have my hands full now with my 3 birds.

We have a quaker and a grey and a labrador retriever ... Although I would love another grey, I just don't have the time to add another pet to our home without taking away from the ones we have. I belong to a quaker forum and we refer to the desire to continue to add birds to your family as: MBS -- Multiple bird syndrome ... It's contagious and there is no cure!  |

Know what you mean..... I was terrified of birds, I now have 2 AGs- they are my world! My Mom started with 1 TAG a year ago, she now has 49 birds! Most of them are breeders, though. She has everything from lovebirds-amazons-eclectus-blue and gold- scarlets-congos- you name it, she's got it! Especially the fever!!  |
