FINALE.....................

Look into my eyes.... You are sleepy...

[exotic_idiot]

Wow nice collections of parrots... All yours?

[blue33]

OMG. You bring your parrot out for a walk. Well taken picture taken.

[Wackytpt]

The parrots were brought out for a parrot outing.

So much fun to see so many parrots.

I only got 1 lovebird called Monster.

[exotic_idiot]

Yes, really nice, so big gathering of parrots lovers...
Your monster also looks cute.. Pinky cheeks..
Must be costly getting one?

[Wackytpt]

The cost of a parrot depends on what type of parrots you intend to get.

Expensive ones can go as high as a few thousand dollars.

Wow.... Nicholas upgraded to shooting birds! Nice series.

[Wackytpt]

Only parrots and not by the rest.

Used a 50mm f1.8 lens.

[exotic_idiot]

Quite costly but worth while..
Hmm my mum's friend used to have a white one..
And they teach the parrot how to recite Buddha prayers..
I was so surpise, a little small head but very clever..!

Nick, I seriously think you should get the golden/sun conur as monster's play mate. Only 6.5k Nia from GoodWill.

[Wackytpt]

Gene,

You must be joking for golden conure. It is 6.5k from Goodwill.

6.5K can buy L46 or L173...a haha

[ranmasatome]

blah! where got nice that bird?

6.5k?? buy a new lens! or new camera!

lol

[RonWill]

blah! where got nice that bird?

That conure is nice but no way I'd pay over 1k since 6.5k can buy me a whole school of L46s!!! Sorry lor... I'm keeping my fingers dry for now but at least Nick had a blast of a time last Sunday shooting birdie pics and playing with them.

The two black headed caique (Pionites melanocephalus), captioned "Humph! I don't friend you", are my kopi kakis and will scream for food when I'm eating, much like pet dogs begging at the dining table.

Eugene, are you itching yet?

[genes]

Haha, waiting for tweety's cockatiel lor. Hopefully they will be ready for by end of this month! I like that blue parrotlet and big foot looks really awesome! What is he?

[Wackytpt]

Bigfoot & Ruby should be Eclectus Parrots.

Tyson the Parrotlet is very nippy. Actually all parrotlets are nippy.

Can i "bird nap" gene's cockatiel from tweety first... then let him wait longer...wahaha

Not recommended for beginners.

[RonWill]

Eugene,
'Bigfoot' and 'Ruby' are Eclectus parrots (Eclectus roratus), also fondly called 'ekkies'. Tame ekkies are ok pets but with wilder specimens or those that aren't socialized much, I wouldn't mess around with their huge beaks!!

Ekkies are known for it's extreme sexual dimorphism; male with mostly bright green plumage and the female, bright red and purple/blue plumage.

About the cockatiel, if you're game to hand-feed an almost-weaned nestling, it should be ready to join your family. Nervous? Don't worry lah... you're in good hands and we'll show you the proper way of hand-feeding with syringe.

and.... I wouldn't recommend a parrotlet to a newbie for the simple reason that it takes 3 times the amount of interaction time (compared to a lovebird) to maintain it's tameness. Parrotlets are big birds in teeny weeny bodies, very independent and have tendencies to be nippy. IMHO, stubborn little buggers!!

[Wackytpt]

Ron,

How how how?

Which to get as companion for Monster?

Whahahah

[genes]

It would be nice to do handfeeding. I think it brings us closer to our pets.
but because of my work, I'd better not because the feeding time will not be consistant.

[Wackytpt]

It takes a lot of time and effort to do handfeeding.

Trust me, Tweety (Selena) is extremely good at this.

All the birds under her care, all fat and healthy.
