bill_e & Berta

"Made me sad to dig around for this..
Berta, my wild caught Orange Winged Amazon. She was with me from 1976 through 2015".

wrench13 & Max

"This is our Canary winged parrot (Brotogeris) Max, who was ship's mascot for 6 years.
He was the sweetest, most people friendly parrot I have ever had the pleasure to know.
Max picked me out of whole tank full of his brethren, jumped on my hand and wolf whistled in my face. Who could resist?
Max not a day goes by that your family does not miss you, still."

AmyMyBlueFront & Smokey (with Uncle Joe)

"This is the first time I have ever posted in this sub forum.

Here is the picture of two of my best friends who are no longer with me.

Smokey and her "Uncle Joe"...she really loved that guy."

Gemster & Eddie

"This was the first time Eddie was outside, well in our home. (He did go out with past owner)
He loved flying outside, getting tired very quickly yet having so much fun."

HannahandSunny & Sunny

"Sunnys first time in the apple tree.."

Rozalka & Zenek

"My official entry is Zenek. Then he was the first day here - July 1st 2016.
Also, this is his the 1st photo."

Valyndris & Spike

"My first pet ever, Spike the cockatiel playing in a K'Nex fort, as kids my brother and I loved playing with these.
My mother's friend adopted him as we couldn't keep him due to Jacob being allergic.
I went to visit him once in a while, Spike was happy there.
I last saw Spike on his 19th birthday this year on October 23rd.
Unfortunately he has very recently passed away on November 11th this very month.
I have so many happy memories with him and I am glad I got to see him one last time."

Smerft85 & Dj

"Little miss Dj the day we met her.
Asked the store owner about a lavender IRN, and he said that one had found a home, but he showed me this little one,
and we ended up with a pair."

tfw & Kass

"When we first brought Kass home, despite the year long research and searching for the perfect breeder,
I had a moment of "Uh-oh...I think I made a mistake getting such a large bird as our first bird!"
because only my husband could get him out of the cage we brought him home in.
Fast forward to a week later, and I caught him falling asleep on his gym.
It's not the best video of him but it was certainly the first time we knew he was comfortable enough around us to fall asleep and be vulnerable.

Rival_of_the_Rickeybird & Rickeybird

"The time stamp tells me that the end of the New Mexico era was officially in July of '97.
Next stop, Cleveland."

KawaiiTori & Tori

"Memories in the making at least...Tori’s first Christmas (this year, LOL)!"

saxguy64 & Baxter

"Baxter's first long, snuggly nap, when I knew for sure that she felt safe and secure with me. Lasted over an hour. :-D
She had only been with me for about three weeks. Love my little girl!"

TheNamesLuna & Sylvester

"Sylvester was my budgie who I sadly lost in 2014. I had her for 13 years.
She moved with me from west London, into central London, then back to west London, then to North Wales for 6 years then back south to Buckinghamshire!
She was well traveled!
Sylvester loved the Christmas tree in 2010 - it was really hard to keep her out of it!!! I think she liked the fact it was a real tree!
I still miss her fly high my sweet one xxx"

Noahs_Birds & Scomo

"As I have heard from so many people about good old (well, not old) Scomo being the talk of the forum,
so I dug around the forum and found a picture of him as a wee little fella, just after he got his feather implants put in."

Ezekiell & Māui

"The first time Māui did a roll over and was happy just lying there next to me with his little feetsies in the air. "

Parrot101 & Patric

"This is my first parakeet (also my first parrot). This is his first landing on anything besides his cage. I thought is was funny, a bird landing on a bird painting!"

WakaWaka & Arika

"One of the first photos we took of Arika and she was only 8 weeks old.
They brought her out in a basket with a towel so we could spend some time with her.
She couldn't even stand up yet.
After spending 2 hours with her, she had already stolen our hearts and it was very difficult to leave.
We continued to drive 3 hours each way every weekend to see her until one weekend in September she came back with us to her new home.

Funny seeing her quilly feathers, short beak, and coal black eyes. It is amazing how she has changed and grown up."
