Hey!

[EAI]

Aloha!

Hey guys, I'm 15 from Honolulu. I have three birds. 2 budgies: Esther, a "normal" male, and Arrow a dark green recessive pied female and 1 lovebird: Izzy, a female sea green mutation.

I had Arrow and Izzy for almost two years after I impulsively got them at the last PetLand on the island. I was going to tame them but after months of trying, and them already bonding I decided to let them be. I have to be honest, they were in a living hell the first year with a 15x11x18 cage, a few natural branches, boring toys, and a seed diet. Not to mention that I began to suffer from SAD, and a few personality disorders, they were left alone for my currently 6 y/o sister to take care of. When I began to take care of them again I upgraded them to a larger cage and new toys and perches. They then suffered from a respiratory illness. And now today, they seem much healthier and happier being fed pellets, fresh foods, a nice large mansion, multiple different size perches and toys, and hours of free flying in my room whenever they please.

After getting Izzy from the same place I decided to start right, and I have been. Right now, I'm trying to convert her to a nice pellet and fruit diet and trying to stop her fear of hands, and biting. As she is still in quarantine, she is in a 18x18x18 but plan to put her in a 32x19x37 once its over and her wings grow back from the horrible wing clipping she endured.

I'm doing all the things I should've done and trying to provide my birds a better more joyful life.

I hope to learn even more about them and some other species I'm dreaming about (conures, pionus', eclectus', pois)

Sorry for the very long post and have a great day!

Welcome! Would love to see a pic of your babies. One of my good friends and co-workers is from Hawaii. I forget what island though. We always make her bring back some coffee when she goes home.

I think I know which place they get it from, I feel like it's near dole plantation. I'm trying to remember the name! Ah it's driving me crazy now

I'm also on mobile, so I'll have to upload some pics when I get home

I want to say it's Kona. I'm not positive since we usually had on our evening shifts together. That was hands down the best shift lol. But I haven't been on shifts since the beginning of the year when I got my new job.

Btw, did you happen to name Arrow after the show?
