hi everyone.. parrot lover

First of all Id just like to say hi..

Me and my family are the proud pet's of a loving African grey.
She's around 6 year's old and has taken to me mostly... having a little trouble atm because of a new member of the family our new son (11days old) but everything's fine other wise .

Im from scotland, near glasgow so that give's you an idea of where I can travel. Just msg me on here on here or flickr

say hello to yoshi.

Hi there. Your photos are beautiful... so is Yoshi!
Where about in Scotland? My family are in East Kilbride, we were back there in May, but OMG it was freezing, and the gales??
I lived and worked in Glasgow for many years at the Royal Infirmary, so you wanna chat Scottishy stuff... feel free!

Hazel, :0)

Thank you ,
Im currently staying in kirkintilloch and love it here.. everyone seems so nice.
I did live and work in glasgow for most of my life, setting up concerts and stuff.. yoshi even had a tour of hampden park one day when I took her to work with me setting up take that .

Im glad you like the photo's, yoshi seems to love the camera and the flash's.. but shes quite a little character... love her to bits .

Wonderful pictures. Wish Wisconsin wasn't so far away. I'd love to move over seas, but I don't think England, where we'd like to move, would allow my parrots in.

Why would the uk not let your parrots in?

I did a quick search and this might help,

How to bring your pet bird into the UK

omg those are beautiful pics an yoshi has such beautiful feathers! thank you for posting an would love to hear an see more of your flock

Well it seems I might not be as welcome here as I thought....

I just got sent an infraction because I expressed my love for taking photos of parrots and was offering to take nice photo's for others.

I gave no link to my website, just my flickr (which is attached to photos.. rule of sharing from flickr).

I didn't spam or make multiple post's about the subject, I wasn't forcing it on others I was just trying to let people know that if they lived around me that I would be more than happy to capture a keep sake of one of there family members.

Sorry for trying to bring two of the things I love together, I didn't mean to offend anyone.

hummm not sure why that happened?? but please keep comin back

Welcome!
WOW. Those pictures are amazing, and your african Grey, i have never seen one so beutiful. ( No offence to everybody else..lol)
Congratulations on the baby boy as well!
Hope All goes good!

Breaking the rules or not, you do take beautiful pictures. Welcome to the forum, you have a gorgeous bird.

I love the second photo! I wish I could take remotely good photos!

Also, please don't feel unwelcome. It was just a silly mistake and we all make them. I'd love to see more photos of your bird!

I didn't see anything about selling. Great pics.

I can't see the second link, and I wasn't actually selling anything mearly letting people know If the liked my photos I could take photo's of there birds too. Ofc there would be a cost to this, petrol costs money, ink costs money, paper cost's money and most of all the upkeep of my equipment too and I as much as I would love to I couldn't afford to take photos and give them away for free.. but I wasn't posting here to make money.. more so to be a apart of the community and taking the photos would be more of a social aspect for bird lovers around me.

I didn't know I was breaking the rule's, Taking photos of parrots isn't my business, infact i've only ever took photos of mine, photography as well as birds is a passion of mine. If it ever became a business I would have no problems in becoming a sponsor and paying for advertisement. But since it was a hobby I didn't see it as a problem to let others know.

The last thing I want to do is get off on the wrong foot with anyone here, I look forward to reading the story's and learning from others and there parrots.

Thanks for all the nice comments so far and for wishing me well with my new born
