It's a great way to spend a FRIGID day, that's for sure! Walked outside to a -25 degree windchill! Winter is in full force!
The naked B&G is a riot! He is so full of personality! He came over and started striking those poses as soon as he saw the camera. LOL - no shame for him!
Loved it! His name is "Rambo."
The full feathered B&G runs the place. Her name is "Jellybean", and she is the boss. The other two B&G's are "Kiwi" and "Wally." They make so a very interesting dynamic. Almost high-school like. lol! I laughed when one of the Amazons flew over and tried to pearch by, I *think* Wally. He lunged at the 'zon and the 'zon flew off. Immediately after, Wally laughed. It was so funny, I wish I had it on tape.
Most of the Amazons are in their 30's or older. The DYH pictured is a newcomer. His owner passed away after 30 years. You can kinda tell he is rather sad, and not sure what's going on. So every there has been giving him some space, handing him some treats, but not pushing him.
The Cockatoo is named "Harley." He is another one who recently lost his owner. He is also having some issues coming to grips with that. He's been here for about a month now, and is coming around. I was able to handle him, as well as some of the other volunteers. He is pretty picky with who he lets handle him, and has hurt a few people. So I'm pretty cautious around him. However, he is another fun bird, when he is being nice. LOVES to dance. Watching a cockatoo hop across the floor NEVER gets old.
They are just crazy! (but in a good way!)
There's plenty of cockatiels, budgies, lovebirds, conures, and even a few senegals. So it's never a dull moment.
