- 1 nanday conure Black Jack, 1 Brotogeris parakeet Whiff, 1 ring neck dove Eliza, and 6 society finches (3 are tame). RIP my parent pairs of societies and my little gouldian finches
Hello, I mentioned in another thread that I might be getting another parrot. Well look who I picked up today! (Pictures should be at the bottom) my new bird is a canary winged parakeet, part of the brotogeris family. along with the gray cheeked parakeets, they were very popular in the 80's. They are known as "pocket parrots" and are very cuddly and sweet. He's about the size of a lovebird.
I am getting him DNA'd soon, if its a boy I'll call him whiff. If its a girl, I'll call her penny (maybe). I got him from the pet store where I work, he's missing half of his upper beak, so the owner said I could have him for free.the store takes very good care of the birds, so other than his beak, he is in good health. I don't even know what happened to the beak, but he was kept separate from the others to keep him safe. Right now he's hanging out in my hood and playing with my hair. I'm so glad I have him, and I can't wait to start training him
. Black jack is warming up to him, I think they'll get along. I'll post more pictures soon ~
