Anybody within an hour of the DFW area?

I am looking to play a good game of pass the birdie with people that are used to handling birds. I am hoping to socialize Kyleigh, my blue and gold, and Conure West, my nanday conure, a bit more. Obviously I am willing to make the drive lol.

Great idea, Stephen!! You know, you could also create a Social Group on this forum, with people specific to your neck of the woods.

Ohhh too bad I'm not closer! Playing pass the macaws around is a favorite game at the shelter....we have a lot to pass around at one time too....no person without a macaw when that game happens!

YEP. WE DID A LOT OF THAT STUFF TOO... That's a very useful game to play.

Works like a charm most of the time, and they love being pampered by everyone.

Yeah, I think she gave me a food dehydrator...I need to see if I can get some type of greet going...I would love to socialize my guy more now that its not nice out and I can't take advantage of using the neighborhood rif raf to socialize him.

I'm four hours away from DFW and that's a bit of a drive! Too bad because I would love spending time around another parrot lover and their birds, especially a macaw. My flock could use the socialization too, especially my Amazon. If we're ever headed to that area of Texas I'll have to PM you and see about a parrot playdate!

Where are you in relation to San Antonio?!

I might know someplace where there are a couple of macaws, and a few other amazons to play with...

 

[Mallory]

I'm from San Angelo, TX and I think San Antonio is about 3 hours away. Granted everything in Texas is pretty spread out so we're used to road trips! I would love getting a chance to meet your birds One day when I have my own home instead of renting I plan to adopt a macaw, but that's way in the future for now. I don't know many local "parrot people" and none of them own large birds.

 

[StephenAndKyleigh]

I would totally drive 6 hours to meet up with ya'll
Just thought I would put that out there.

 

[amjokai]

Mallory!!! I'll be in San Angelo this summer!!!!! I have lots of birds that need socialization!!!!!

Maybe we can meet up with StephenandKyleigh too!

 

[amjokai]

Hahaha and i often have baby parrots needing socialization too!

 

[Birdman666]

When you all get settled in maybe we'll plan a road trip...

My birds actually LOVE the car. (I just need one that isn't about to blow up. Like mine is now!)

 

[amjokai]

Who btw I'd still not weaned! Lol. 9 months now. Yikes! He's just milkin it!

Not at all uncommon for a big mac... at this point it's more about bonding and emotional comfort than the food though.

 

[amjokai]

Yeah he's just a big ol spoiled brat.
He can have his nightly feed as long as he wants it.
