I recently decided to adopt a conure, i went up to meet him the other day..
the story behind him is that he was a member for a four-flock family, they were all very very loved but the owner is elderly and recently had to be rehomed into a retirement home for sick elders.
all four birds are very bonded. theres two bonded cockateils, 18 years old and 20 years old. then there is winston the parakeet, and sinbad the conure, both are eight years old.
I went to meet sinbad and left with the decision to keep all four.
I dont like cockateils, and I've never been around a parakeet.
all of them know how to talk, do tricks, and step up of course, even winston the parakeet!
winston has a little telephone toy that he uses to communicate. there are numbers 1-8 and when you press numbers it makes animal sounds. 1 for a cat, 8 for a dog, so on.. if you ask winston "make a cat sound" he knows exactly which button to press. i've been warned to make sure the batteries never die, or he gets very very sad.
the only problem is that some of the birds say "asshole" lol
but I guess thats better than the F word right?
I might rehome the cockateils, but we'll see what things are like when i have them in my flock.
so now I have Button, my pineapple gcc, Loki, my yellow sidced gcc, Sinbad, my normal gcc, Winston ( ultra light 100s lol ) the blue parakeet, and two cockateils that I dont know the names of.

I just cant help myself! I hope that you new additions are wonderful for you and like the others say dont be to quick to rehome you might find a new found love!
I swere if we switched birds we'd never be able to tell the difference, except yours is smarter. Your green cheek is SO cute! So are your cockatiels! More pics please!!!!
