- Peace & Quiet (Yellow-Sided Green Cheek Conures, brother and sister). They are my babies whom I love very much and they are such a blessing.
Day 41 of Training: First time bird walking rather than bird watching and they had a good time taking their first tour outside. Folks were perplexed when walking their dogs and seeing two birds chilling and looking at them saying "Do you have a problem."
I was Encouraged neighborhood folks I never met before were astounded how attached they were to me since they stayed on my shoulder the entire time I was on the side walk - and they loved their colors. Glad I got to speak about my faith in Christ and why God made nature to respect you if you respect it. Turns out taking birds outside is healthy for them and their feathera. But I didn't want to be out too long as I was out looking at all times for hawks...but it was an awesome walk. Now if I had a peacock I could go walking with in the future.......but that's for the future
Life is interesting with the things you learn. In example, Day #17 of Training revealed interesting things I did not know before but now make sense after I picked up their birth certificates. I was told (when I went back to Pet Supermarket to get their birth certificates and aleady had them for awhile) to be certain I knew the gender. And I was told that the males (as with many birds) are the more colorful ones and the girls have the darker complexion. ...meaning the boy was Peace (with the marron highlights over his eyes) and the girl was Qui Qui.
Thus, I no longer felt surprised Qui Qui seemed a bit annoyed/unresponsive whenever I'd say "Good boy!!!" or "Come boy!" - and no surprise Peace was all over me like our older Sun Conure parrot Mango since the boys are more excited, adventurous and eccentric by nature..even though I said "Good girl!!!" a lot and he was responsive.. Glad to have caught it early and thankful my pets put up with it, unless they want to do self identification
I am still trying to be certain on the gender. I got the birth certificate saying they were a male/female and the folks at Pet Supermarket said they were raised together since birth (which explains why they're so close).
Could someone help me out with this one? It's a struggle enough being concerned for potential breeding (as they were only 4-5 months old when I got them in August) - and I am very fearful of egg breaching since I know that is truly a killer. It is on the horizon for me since I don't want them to breed, but the money really is tight for a check-up from the vet anytime soon when they are in a family of 3 dogs. But if there's any practical ways of understanding, I'd appreciate that
