Laura's Flock Thread

[Laurasea]

Yeah i can see but one more q why did you leave the down in the cage empty?

Sad to see all the judging.
In some pictures like the outside I've removed stuff for cleaning , that was a big cleaning day. Also my birds are out of cage 8-6 every day unless I am away with extensive perching options , 5 play areas in addition to all have on outside and above cages. Cages are essentially just in them right before bed. So lower perches weren't used much and just poop collector's. Also use the bottom to set up foraging sometimes. Cages are continuous living and evolving and changing im always switching it up.

Please feel free to start your own thread offering your cage and all you do for our inspection .

But I don't think this is all in the spirit of my thread. Which is a celebration of my flock, and my love for them.

I'm not currently experiencing any behavior , bonding, health or wellbeing issues with my flock. If I do, or have questions in the future, I will reach out. As I value the input and insights and experience from novice to decades of experience available here.

I've had much longer experience in the care, health , science, research, conservation, behavioral of large number of animals, livestock, wildlife, exotic, birds, parrots, fish , saltwater aquarium keeping. Its just 20 years of having my own parrots. Currently I volunteer with mosquitoes surveillance, pollinators, DNA of beetles and special requests.

Fascinated with our living world, and always trying to learn more.

 

[MayMaroa]

Wow!
i have always thought why do people call mosquitoes mosquitoes they suck our blood right just like vampires so I call mosquitoes vampires makes sense right?

We are all have roasted sweet potatoes for lunch! Always a big hit

Ta-dah just had a bath still wet. Budgies ate as well but they spook easily and I wanted them to enjoy while still warm

 

[Cottonoid]

Everyone is so happy with their lunch!

 

[Laurasea]

And roasted carrots, I let them see me "hide" to increase foraging

Also fed them the stems from my mixed green salad, they love and fight over them. Hopefully this will inspire any struggling to convince their parrots to eat veggies, to keep trying. Seeing is believing

 

[Laurasea]

Ok I just can't help it! PHEOBE flew to me carrying a piece of broccoli from their cage top veggies tray. It just tastes better with mom!

 

[Laurasea]

One and a half years in the making maybe, but well worth the wait for a beautiful moment like this!
