I started out last year with a Male Carnary,(Marcello) the love of my life. He introduced to the love of Parrots. I have been adding to my family this year, a rehomed Blue crown conure ,(BooBoo) a rehomed Blue front amazon((Tango). I then went to the Exotic Bird show and added a quaker(Lida) and a parrotlet(Chico). The Blue Front has not yet started talking nor does it step-up but he eats well. I hope it will be soon, so he can be the Teacher for the other feathered friends in our nest. The Blue Crown can say a few words and the other two are just months old. I just wanted to introduce my family to the parrot forum. I have been spending time at a breeder's house once a week to learn how, when and whats about these parrots. I am not a breeder, just an animal lover and it all started over a little salt size shaker carnay. My main concern is that these birds eat well and are happy in their new home. Anyone with vital information that I should know please advise.
