Two hand tame Green Cheeked Conures in the house...A pair of Bourkes in the aviary because they're quiet and get on with the finches.

Re: parrots

Hi I have kept a variety of different species of Animals over the years, but now have only 2 African Greys, both were adults, both were pluckers, and from different homes, they are now over the plucking, And have got them on Pelleted dry food, plus Veggies, Mash, Palm Fruit Extract etc. they now only have sprouted seeds in there diet.
They go outside whenever the weather is warm enough, this aides there Vitamin D absorbtion, as Greys are prone to lack of Vitamin D.
They require a lot of time to be spent on them, and a lot of money, I love them.
I am in the process of clicker training them to High Five, but am not going to do this very quickly, as they have there own agendas LOL
