4 Keets and a Lovie
Hello all:
Though I am not new to birds, I am new here. I always had an obsession with birds, and my mom said, "When you get your own place you can have as many birds as you want" so I currently have 4 keets, and a lovie. There is something about birds that makes my heart happy. If I could figure out a way to own a penguin, I am sure I would have one of those as well.

Penguins would require a house with a very, very large bathtub...

and your air conditioning bill would be extremely high.

As would your bill from the local fish market...

Just sayin'... :p

LOL, yeah....and even though African penguins are warm weathered birds, I was told, "You can't have just one, you have to have 6." That ended my quest for a pet penguin.

Welcome!
You're certainly our kind of folk.
Your flock is beautiful. Like a little rainbow made out of sunshine. Beautiful colors. How wonderful that they get along and pose together.

There's also that whole migration thing... they're quirky.

These are not pets. Unfortunately, with the way things are going and climate change, we are losing them at an alarming rate.

Thank you...The Lovie wants nothing to do with the keets, but that was a pic I took week 2 of having her. She likes to watch them, but not hang out.
