- Amy a Blue Front 'Zon
Jonesy a Goffins 'Too who had to be rehomed :-(
And a Normal Grey Cockatiel named BB who came home with me on 5/20/2016.
..out for a ride,to the donut factory first,for a hot chocolate for me,and a plain munchkin for the girl,then off to AllPets again..
There was a slew of 'keets in a huge house,just chattering away making so much racket and didn't even pay attention to Amy while she was on my hand checking them out. Then we visited the Bee Bee's again. Amy looked for her buddy but none of them showed interest either.
Then we saw a large topless enclosure that had a dozen or more "sunday" conures and they were chasing each other and chirping away. Now the top was off,so you could bend over and put your hand down and have one climb on to your hand. Amy was on my shoulder and was watching these little guys,and she started 'zon speak,and it seems like she was calling to them.. I swear,the whole group of them just stopped what they were doing and just looked at Amy and I lol.
The attendant told me they were only a month and a half old and VERY friendly. So I lowered my hand into the masses and sure 'nuff,one of the little guys hopped right on,
So Amy was on my shoulder,and I slowly and carefully raised the sunday so it was about a foot from Amy..And Amy says "hello biiiiiiirrrrdddd" lol <my son would say that to Amy when he fed her> The attendant and I looked at each other and burst out laughing lol
It seems that the pet store is taking real good care and handling them. I was able to pick any up..give head skritches,and just generally handle them..a couple did "rolls" in the wood shavings that was on the bottom of the enclosure..they all had their arms trimmed and none tried to escape from being handled..The couple I did handle, Amy would mumble to..fluff her face up and pin her eyes,even went beaky la beaky with one.
But I almost pooped myself when he told me the price! $700!! Gezzz...and the Green Armed Bee Bee's weren't $349...they were $500!! Dang..INFLATION!! I only paid $400 for Amy..ya that was in 1990...but still :11:
And they didn't have any 'teils...guess I'll have to google for local 'teil breeders..sighhhh
