whats you DREAM bird :)

My dream bird...Well until about 3 months ago I never even thought of having a bird..

Now I would say my dream is Basil... Basil without the traumas hes suffered, without the feather loss and without the fears he now has..

Hopefully some of my dreams will come true and Basil will become the glorious bird he deserves to be..
 
My dream bird always was an Alexandrine, which is what I got after Shrek, my quaker got killed... I expected Shrek to live into ripe old age, and never ever thought I would get an Alex.

Max can never replace Shrek, but I really needed a bird. I'm sure Shrek won't mind.
 
By the time I made my dream bird list, I already had a few birds I wanted down the line. So, the only two who ever really made it to the list was a female Red-bellied parrot and a Cape parrot - and withing the last year or so I got both :)
 
I think MY all time dream birds would be the hawk-headed parrot, which is AMAZING and i would pretty much sell my right arm for one and a close second and third would be a Hyacinth and an African Grey they are beautiful and i would just love them dearly!

I am very happy with Cracker. He is everything I expected and more. I do not think I would trade him for any other bird in the world. If, however, I did not already possess a bird that I love so much, I think I would like to have a pet Raven.
 
Of course, I'm delighted to share my life with Ralph, the Quaker parrot. :) But if money were no object and space were unlimited, there's a long list of parrots I'd like to have. Most of them are not too exotic or rare. Start the list with an African grey (either CAG or TAG), another Amazon of some type (maybe even a Vinaceous Amazon), an Eclectus, a Hahn's Macaw, perhaps a Jardine's parrot, a Pionus of some type... Once I get started, it's hard to stop. :D
 
African grey, Spix Macaw, and Blue Headed Pionus, wait! I just got Blue Headed Pionus so part of my dream already came true :)
 
1. Panama Amazon and this one is serious dream!
2. African Grey
3. Lineolated Parakeet, Bourke's and from grass parakeets: Scarlet-Chested

I can go on and on, but that's basic...
 
Bitty is my dream bird already, but if I had the money and additional time, I would love to investigate a Gang Gang Cockatoo.
 
too many to name off but i would like a african grey

i love african greys and exotic cockatoos, my doctor has a palm cockatoo, all birds are so magnificant, i think every bird is somebody's dream bird, it just goes to show how wonderful they are, oh and i would LOVE to have a golden conure!
 
An African Grey is my dream parrot, hope I get one one day. Once I have about $4500 spare cash :p
 
I wouldn't trade Alex for the world, but I'd love a flock of violet budgies. Good ones with strong violet genes!

My original dream bird was an ekkie (either male or female) but when at a breeders looking at an adult male, I saw Alex, fell in love, and offered them a deposit right away. So, I ended up with a janday instead. No complaints, except for the noise! :)

I would also love to one day have a B+G or hyacinth macaw. Since getting Alex though I've fallen in love with conures, they have the same slender body type and 'look' of a macaw, along with a similar personality (In mine at least I have found. Conures are close enough to macaws that their have been hansxconure hybrids before. Aratigna means 'little macaw' after all!) so I would settle for a queen of bavaria conure. I'd also love to (see- plan to) adopt another parrot of similar size to my jenday after finishing university but before starting a career as I won't be home as often (though home more then enough to give my bird love, of course!) and I think I could give an unwanted bird a new home, and Alex some company for when I am gone. I'd love to get the Bavaria then, or a sun conure.
 
Kevin is my dream bird, I never imagined that i'd have a CAG in a million years.

But if money, time and space was no object, toco toucan.
 
Well for me, it has always been an Amazon parrot. Any kind actually. But I like to think any bird that I wind up with are my dream birds because I thought they were special enough to give them a loving home and they felt I was special enough to want to be with me.

i think its great you rescued your eclectus, immagine if birds had dream owners! also i too would love toucan or a curl crested aracari
 
Hyacinth macaw for me.....maybe. Actually my favs are Capes Vasas and Panamas!

I am getting a Cape or a Vasa this spring!!! Cannot wait!
 
I'd like to have a Blue fronted amazon some day :) Not a parrot but I've also always wanted a crow, I know of one person that has one that I want to go meet soon, they are illegal to keep here but he rescued it as a baby and has kept it ever since...shhhh... lol. My absolute dream bird would be to have my goffin back, I know that's not gonna happen but it would be awesome. It's not that I want a goffin, I just want her back, she was my baby. I don't know that I could ever get another one, they all look too much alike, I think it would just be more upsetting than anything.
 
my dream bird? a cockatoo that didn't scream or bite. I love their look and the good part of their personality but cant' stand the screams and biting.
