Please ,please,please , tell us more stories about the birds in the store you volunteer at. ?? Please

Unfortunately I haven't been able to go help out in a long time. And starting mid April I wont be able to till after May because I am student teaching. The latest news I have is building a fun relationship with a the nicest moluccan cockatoo, Gully. My friend's mom finally broke down and bought him (she is the same woman where I got Roxy). Gully loves walking on the floor and climbing on other parrot cages for fun He has never bit anyone ever, which is why I felt confident in getting him out of his cage whenever I wanted to. However he loves standing on your neck, and don't you dare have necklaces or earrings in, they'll be gone soon I don't why I bother having my hair in a ponytail, cause apparently Gully believes it shouldn't be there

They do seem to like to redecorate. Rowdy tries to remove my freckles daily.

As long as I have my Roxy, I will always be on here asking for help and giving help when I can. Also want to keep up on any new updates about health and wellness for parrots too. Most likely I'll be in the store at least this Saturday afternoon, Roxy needs her trimmings done. But ya, I won't be in there again till mid-summer I am guessing. :\

I will miss your stories, too. You have a good story telling "voice" and a sense of humor I like.

I'm sure you will miss the birds very much. But, yes, student teaching semester is hard and it sure does take up all your time. It's also very exciting though to finally get to do what you've been working toward for so long. Best wishes, and enjoy your new students

Roxy_9_2011 are the Hyacinths rescues or do they belong to the owner?

All 3 of the Hyacinths had previous owners. Priella (the nice one ) is owned by the store's manager. But the other 2 are for sale technically. Azul and Heidi are being sold around $10,000 I want to say....but can't promise that's right. I have heard the manager try to sell Heidi for $8,000, but it's because of her temperament...she pretty much doesn't like anyone except 2 or 3 people :\ So it's harder to sell her right now. And Azul also is picky about who he likes so he is difficult to sell now too. But when it comes to personality, I love Azul's He literally does the "jail bird" motion of clinking his water bottles against the bars. Wish I have taken a video of it and post it on here...I might try this weekend...

That must be so funny lol
Does anyone know the actual reason why they sell for so much?
I've heard people say it's because of their status in the wild, but the Blue throated macaw's worse off and they have a pretty reasonable price
