Parrots
TESLA-Congo African Grey
VINNY - Vasmaeri Eclectus
Hi Everyone!

My name is Crystal and I have 2 Parrots.
Keegan - Our Hahns Macaw who we raised from a little egg (well, my friend did and I just visited.) He is now 6yrs old and a real cuddlebug.

Tesla - Our CAG who is 9yrs old and a rehomed bird. We are his 2nd home. He is cage bound and pretty much hates me. :) We've had him for 2 yrs. He will target and take certain foods from me but that's about it. He does talk up a storm though.

We are looking into getting a third parrot now....one who will let us handle him and wants to play etc....

We have narrowed it down to ....

ILLIGER MACAW (My friend raises these)

YELLOW-NECKED MACAW (She also has these)

CERTAIN AMAZONS

CAPE PARROT (probably out of my price range but my FAVORITE of the bunch.)

There may be others that I would like but not sure yet, and I may even find a wonderful rehomed parrot....so time will tell!

I am a married and we have 2 daughters who have moved out now.....so we have a BIRD ROOM finally! It's also the guest room if anyone needs to stay over. :)

I am a pet stylist during the day and a free lance photographer on the side.
Hubby works for the cable company.

We have 4 dogs, 2 cats and the 2 parrots not to forget to mention our 4 outdoor chickens.

Nice to meet everyone!!

CRYSTAL :green:

Thanks guys, I shoot w/ a Canon 5D MK II
Pet photography is my first love so of course my kids are all posers. :)
 
Welcome! I love the name "Tesla" for a grey, that's just perfect!

As the owner of a Cape, I can certainly vouch that they are very cool birds. A 'zon could be pretty interesting, too.

Chickens, eh? I am thinking of doing chickens....we just moved to a more agricultural area where there is plenty of room for a coop.
 
Welcome to the forum... your birds are gorgeous... love the pics.....
 
welcome to the forum very pretty birds and pictures. Alison and sweetie pie:D
