Alohi, a baby sun conure.
Zoey, a 29 year old male congo African Grey.
Maui, GCC; RIP
Hello everyone!
I've always loved birds, specifically ravens. I adopted a pineapple GCC and he literally became the love of my life. He was the sweetest, most talkative little thing, and so tiny! I had named him Maui. He was with me every waking hour of every day. He was my world. Unfortunately my heater had broke in February and he had to be birdsat for a night, and the birdsitter's neglect and willful ignorance led to him being killed by her dog. I have honestly never gotten over him as I loved him more than anything, but I decided that I could leave the situation bitter or I could honor him and my love of birds.
I chose to not let it make me bitter. Since I have adopted a sun conure, who I named Alohi. I wasn't going to continue with the Hawaiian themed names, but Alohi's anklet said 'Aloha' and after Maui, it just felt right. Alohi means 'brilliant' in Hawaiian. He is a very clingy, happy go lucky conure, just as my Maui was. Though not as cuddly, he is a great little guy in his own respect. He blows kisses, says 'step up', and mimics my laugh. He's not quite a year old yet.
And last but not least is my CAG, Zoey. Zoey was a rehome from a bad situation. I've only had him for a few months but he makes great improvements every week. He's 29 and a cranky old fellow, but he's been an interesting and funny addition.
I have fortunately been blessed with a fiance who is just as bird crazy. I'm always on the look out for new ideas, tips, and help! I live and breathe birds. I look forward to getting to know everyone and their babies!
