Tell me about your Alexandrines - Stories, Videos, Pictures etc

Ash · Jun 20, 2012

I just had to make a thread, anyways tell me about your Alexandrine.

Is your alexandrine cuddly? Does he or she liked to be touched?
I would really like to hear all your stories.

Have you been able to catch your alexandrine doing something funny, cute, talking etc?

Recently Alex loves talking to our cats. He meows to them and they meow back. Ive tried many times to get him on video without any luck.

He just hates the camera.

I do have a video of him just meowing though.

I didn't get him in the frame though.

Here is a short video of him practicing talking. It's a bit old now. He now has a larger vocabulary. He was molting them

Enjoy.

Awww! They're adorable!!! "Hellooo? Hellooo????!" Too cute!

Ash · Jun 21, 2012

I get that every morning.

"Hello?" "Helloooooo" "What ya doing?". "Ohhhh" "What?". And it always ends with meows.

You just got to love their voice.

Ash · Jun 28, 2012

Awww, Reggie looks so cute. I just love them when they are so young.
He sounds so adorable and smart.

Here are some photo's of Bert!

Here Bert is about 12 weeks old and is such a curious George

Just loving some broccolini!

Surfing the web for different types of seeds he can eat...

All fluffed up and ready for nap time

And last but not least, shower time!

He is about 10 months old now and getting to be a real fatty! Bert doesn't love cuddles, but lets his mummy cuddle him for a few minutes without getting cranky

But he LOVES to be near or on me at all times. He has to know what's going on, he's so damn curious I think it's going to get the better of him one day! He's the most precious thing in my life and I love him to pieces. I could sit and watch the funny things he does for hours on end

He still makes baby noises (which melt my heart) so my favourite thing is, in the morning I wake up and uncover him and then go about my business, I get very loud flock calls to see where I am! And then when I come home from work he gets so excited to see me he doesn't stop calling and chatting to me for like an hour and then we spend the evening together eating vegetables

LSMITTZ · Jul 6, 2012

aww Bert looks like such a sweety! I love the name too

I have a question though, I'm a little worried that I take Reggie out of his cage too much, to come sit with me & listen to music, cuddle when he feels like it

because when I put him back in the cage most of the time after about 5 minutes he'll start screaming. he has fresh food, fresh water, plenty of toys & a clean cage. so, am I taking him out to often?

LSMITTZ · Jul 6, 2012

some more pics of Reggie, after his first bath!

Mchal · Jul 7, 2012

Oh my goodness! Reggie has THE sweetest face I have ever seen! What a cutie!

After you put him back in his cage do you leave the room?
Whenever I leave the room Bert will scream out like there's no tomorrow, which is usually followed by him coming out of his cage by himself and waddling over to climb on to my foot and up my leg.
I don't really have a solution for you, I don't think he's in pain and or there's anything wrong, he just misses you and wants to know where you are. Bert will quiet down as soon as I walk back in to the room.
It's not a problem for me noise wise and it doesn't annoy me, so I just leave him do his thing

LSMITTZ · Jul 8, 2012

sometimes I leave, sometimes I just put him in the cage & sit to watch tv or go on the computer. & he screams either way, or just makes little cooing/chittering noises which is SO cute. but since he's so young I was worried that maybe he wasn't liking his cage/getting used to it since he's with me a lot.

& thank you for replying!

Ash · Jul 8, 2012

They are both so cute!

My Alex's both don't have a "cage". Well they kind of do. They are outside 100% of the time. They do venture back to their cage maybe 1-4 times a week. Their food is on the outside of their cage. Soo I guess that doesn't help. I would remove the cage completely but I'm using it to help hold up some branches which connect the cage with their playstand.

They hardly squawk. Alex talks A LOT. So I get more talking than squawks.

Yuki recently lost her baby voice. I do miss it as it was very cute.

I hear her mumbling all the time. I'm pretty sure she is trying talk.

Mchal · Jul 10, 2012

Ash do you think they don't call out as much because they have each other? I often think that Bert would be a little more quiet if he had a feathered companion, but I don't think he would do very well with another bird.
How old is Yuki? I don't want Bert to lose his baby voice, it's so darn cute! He doesn't talk yet and if he does it will be interesting to see what he comes out with as I just chat to him, not saying anything specific. But we do have some very loud chickens and cat, so you never know...

And LSMITTZ, I really do think he is just happy and trying to communicate with you

I would be really concerned if Bert ever stopped vocalizing.

I would love our next house to have a huge back yard, so I can have a big aviary full of Alexandrine's!
And just for a bit of extra cuteness Bert just had a bath in his water dish, but it must have been too tiring because now he is having a nap

Ash · Jul 10, 2012

Yuki is probably about 11 months old. She was born around September. She lost her baby voice for a month or 2 then she started using it again.

But then she stopped using it again.

I'm thinking about adding another Alexandrine to my flock

I just love them. They are such gentle giants.
I'm pretty sure Alex is really a she. So I may get a male. Because I would love to breed them.

Mchal · Jul 10, 2012

Aw she sounds super cute. I just never want Bert to lose his baby voice

I would love to have a whole flock of them! I love watching them and I would love to breed them, that would be amazing. I would encourage you in adding another alex

I'm always telling any one who will listen, how amazing they are!

I agree that they are gentle giants but honestly Bert has such an attitude! I don't know if he is ever going to grow out of it! He loves having his beak and head stroked with my hair lolol He is a bit of a freak

Ash · Jul 10, 2012

I might be getting another Alex in a week or two. I can't wait.
He is 3 years old and from what ive heard he sounds adorable.

ConureCrazy · Jul 10, 2012

I've always wanted an Alexandrine. Ash, the Alex you might get seems like a nice little guy. =~)

Mchal · Jul 11, 2012

Ooooh! Let us know how you go and lots of pictures please

Ash · Jul 11, 2012

I will let you all know

And i will def post pics if I get him.

Ash · Jul 12, 2012

The plan feel through

The owner now wants double what he originally wanted. And I can't afford that. I did try to talk him out of it but he wont budge.
