Greetings from SE Asia!

Hello,

I'm quite new to this forum - just signed up about two days ago - and you may call me Snow. I currently have a beautiful eight-month-old male Pied cockatiel named Julian and an adorable 3.5-week-old sun conure chick named Phoenix.

I love both my babies very much, although the little one takes up most of my time due to the constant care and feedings. Still, I wouldn't trade them for anything.

I'm no stranger to birds - I kept a stunning Taiwanese Pekin robin and two doves while I was younger - but this is my first time keeping parrots in general.

I also have other pets - freshwater fish and designer shrimp, marine fish, corals and marine invertebrates (starfish, hermit crabs, mantis shrimp, ornamental shrimp, ornamental crabs, sea urchins etc.), a Chinese golden thread turtle, both my birds and a therapy/support dog. I used to keep red-eared sliders, wild fence lizards and hamsters as well. I am a passionate animal lover and would love all the guidance and advice/feedback from this forum.

It's been a pleasure meeting all of you.

Welcome Snow . I love the names Julian and Phoenix! Sounds like you have an interesting assortment of animals! I'm also fascinated with fish tanks, and I used to keep marine and fresh water.

Thank you, RavensGryf! I do have an interesting household - certainly keeps me on my toes. Evening is the busiest because everyone wants food at the same time haha.

Good to see a fellow fishkeeper on here as well!

Welcome from SE America! I bet Phoenix is a handful being so young!

Welcome to the forums, Snow! We'd live to see pics of your babies if you'd like to share.

Hi everyone! Sure, I'd love to share some pics.

This is Julian:





And this was Phoenix when I first got him:



This was him two days ago - he's developed a lot more feathers in these past two days that I find his growth quite amazing. I'm feeding him Kaytee Exact for baby parrots - around 10cc to 12cc five times per day as per my avian vet's instructions.



Next week onwards, his feedings will be cut down to four times a day, with roughly 12cc to 15cc per feeding.

Hi SP

Where in SE Asia are you? I'm in Bangkok and would be over the moon to be in touch with members living in the same part of the world

Lol - ok...Malaysia - lol...sorry, only saw that now.

Where did you get your birds from? Market? Petshop? I'm in Bangkok and will begin looking for breeders once I have got everything sorted.

Wow what a zoo! I would LOVE to see pictures of your other critters! Your feather babies are adorable

Welcome to the forum, Snow! You have an interesting menagerie!! Thanks for the beautiful pictures!
