Ordinarily I would agree with you, but we had six month's worth of rainfall in the space of three days, and it rained pretty much non-stop for four or five days. I think I would have had trouble surviving that if I'd been stuck outdoors!
Sweet melodious voice with touch of vocalizations, and dollop of guacamole at the end!I know, right??
I had been planning on hopefully getting a baby lorikeet in May or June when a breeder contact has some babies again, but this may have thrown a spanner in the works there - albeit a very cute oneEither that, or the flock is about to expand to four should i not be able to find her rightful owner!
She started to reveal her full repertoire of sounds yesterday, and she has such a very sweet little voice
Yeah yeah I know, Scott. It was ever thusBeware, your Ninja powers no match for MBS!
He’s such a beautiful boy! Look forward to seeing more pictures!Yeah yeah I know, Scott. It was ever thus
Just got back from a wellness check, our house guest has almost full adult plumage but is likely still less than a year old in my bird vet's opinion. Has not been microchipped, and is definitely a boy, so the name from here on in will be Jem
Poop exam and crop wash all showed really good results considering his big outdoor adventure, just waiting for blood test results for PBFD and psittacosis which will come back tomorrow, so will keep you all apprised. Wanting lots of head scratches following all the tests, trials and travails from this afternoon, so will be giving him lots of love and scratches from all of his new PF aunties and uncles too
That would be most suitable, Beaky, and befitting One of Such Fine, Regal and Noble Breeding, as He surveys His unworthy subjects (i.e. me!) from On High!!
Oh what a pretty birdie! I am a "little" jealous but really so happy for you. Still praying for reunification with the owners of course but glad to know he is already in good hands of a world class bird mommy. He must have just escaped on the day you found him. What a lucky little devilSo there we were, minding our own business this afternoon (Friday in Australia), when my husband told me he'd see an obviously escaped cockatiel perched in the palm tree in our neighbour's back yard. Not thinking for one moment we would be able to successfully rescue "her" (not sure of gender but I'm going with female for now), we took a dish of pellets out there to try to tempt her down. After a brush with the local and very territorial noisy miner birds who almost chased her away, she cautiously made her way down and landed on my shoulder, and immediately took to those pellets with great enthusiasm!
And here's a pic of our little house guest ...

She's a pretty little thing, and very tame, so is obviously someone's much loved pet. I have made a report on www.parrotalert.com and advised my regular avian vet (not open on the weekends sadly) plus another bird vet a few suburbs away. Will be listing on Fb, and listing here on the off chance that the rightful owner may find us here at Parrot Forums.
I'm pretty sure someone out there is missing her very badly and I would love to be able to reunite her with her family, so please contact me by private message here if you think this little sweetheart is yours.
