Hi Everyone,
I am a 65 years old single male Social Worker and addiction couselor currently living since more than 25 years in Canada and since 12 years now in North Canada above the 60th paralel, as my nickname make it clear I have some Roma (gypsy it still a slur for me) ethnicity within me. To be specific I am Zuthane (part Roma and Jew). I have a unique and very different background, culture and life than most people have. I lost most of my families in the extermination camps except my Aushwitz survivor's grandmother, became orphan at the age of 1-2, adopt by abusive far distant relatives at the age of 4-5 and start to live on the streets in several European countries at the age of 13. Then I travel the world, vising more than 45-47 counries in my life working in most of them and meeting incredible people and celebrities from joan Baez and Bob Dylan, John Lenon, Freddy Mercury, and the actual Dalai Lama, among many others. I have a full life and expect to live long!
I always have some animals living with me even when I was traveling spiders, scorpions, cats, fishes and above all parrots and birds.
Living in an isolated and remoted place can be challenging as there is not many parrot owners around me, and no avian vet here for sure. So I plan to use that forum to create some contacts with other owners and as support when it will be necessary.
Curently in my life I have 1 hahn Macaw, 1 Geen Cheek Conure, 2 Cockateils, 2 lovebirds, 2 canaries, buggis, finches, 2 spiders, 4 lizards, 1 aquatic turtle, 1 hamster, 1 frog, 2 huge silver dollars fishes several beta fishes and other fishes as well. Since Yesterday I have a new member add to my flock ...a five years old Amazon Parrot .
Even if he came from an owner that I know and who have to leave the country. I quarantine him in another room in my house for the moment.
The question will be when and how to introduce him to my other parrots especiallly my already living together since 2 years hahn Macaw and Green cheek connure. ( cuddling, eating and sleeping together)
Any tips as I was planning to put their cages first close then have a turn over by letting one or two of them free. Then supervising them during the time of their interactions.
An important information about me, even if I had previous parrots and birds in the past this is my first Amazon parrot.
Thank you anyone and everyone for any tips and information.
Alsio he previous owner was feeding him mainly only with pellets and other dry food. I do the same thing than for my other parrots, I cook grains, beans and veggies together, I chopped fresh veggies as well hopefully that he will accept my cooking!
