Thanks for the warm welcome :smile004:

Getting a bird in the first place, was not our choice.
Nearly 3 years ago, a little scared kakariki arrived in our stairway.
We were searching where he came from - his owners must have missed him!

A vet in our road told us there were even more kakarikis found on this weekend. Someone must have abandoned them on purpose :eek:

As we loved our litte orphan we accepted the vets suggestion to take care of two of them. But one sadly died early. So we got him a new partner - never let a bird alone!

Guess they were not two boys, as we got eggs -> *puff* 7 birds in total.
We totally love them :04:


I don't mind sharing these videos. In fact there are many more online :D

Hi Marc, welcome to you and your Magnificent Seven! Nothing better than seeing happy, healthy active little birdies :)

Currently I have none, but I have the capacity to adopt a minimum and maximum of two budgies - preferably a bonded pair or two males.

Wow! Lovely story. Similar to how my cockatiel landed with me. May be if I followed your footsteps, I would have 7 birds with me now. But can't match the lifestyle you have provided. Great video.

cheers

Hey all

My name is Marc and I live with 7 kakariki parakeets.

And a beautiful collection it is.

First guess was that eight was too many. However, I see there is opportunity for more.

Great videos.

Your set up is the most enriching set up I have seen for parrots of any kind in a long long time perhaps my whole life time.

Kudos
