I have an African Gray parrot that has been in my family since early 80's and became mines in 97'. I think in total she is 33 years old. I also just adopted a 23 y.o yellow crested male C*ckatoo. So far there are any jealousy issues but they both have a number of years left to live. Being single/no kids with disablities they are every to me.

Currently,no,I dont.But a sister of my heart does have a turkey vulture she rescued years ago who to this day refuses to leave her yard.He flies free and very well,but he believes that is his home.You never think of a turkey vulture as being anything this personible bird is.He is so very comical and enjoys being tickled under his wing.I dont care what anyone else thinks,that is a beautiful bird and in flight,the empitome of grace

A couple years back I had an emu. I lost my job and my home was going into foreclosure. I had to put her down and extract her valuable oil. Her oil took me out of the hole. She was an awesome bird for giving her life for me.

yes, a pair of Macaws,which we are soon to breed. We did research and found that a huge mailbox is the perfect size for the box. We also have Quakers which have not had eggs in over 2 yrs. we are getting rid of them because of the cost of feed and they were for breeding and selling. Not going to just feed birds.. We have a few quail we let run loose in the bird building and they eat the food that hits the floor etc and also keep the bugs out..

I was once the owner of an ILLEGAL great horned owl. Let me see if I've still got a photo.

I fed it cat food. Seriously, that's what the raptor center said to feed it.
I gave it to the the raptor rehab in Charlotte because it's illegal to keep them. They are very territorial.
What if you were the postman/woman and you were casually delivering my mail one day and out of the sky you heard a screech and suddenly your eyes were gouged out. I bet I'd get no more mail... ever delivered to my home again!

I have a c*ckateil that is about 26 years old. He
talked until my dad died and now he just says a
few words occasionally. He and dad would talk back
and forth all the time. He is like me and misses dad.

I have a funny little talkative quaker, his name is Sam and he's so awesome. I also have a pretty blue parakeet named sky, he is so adorable but has a stuck up attitude, he is also so awesome. Last but not least, I have a pretty lil girl c*cketiel who is so cocky but loves to be held or sit on my shoulder, she hates to be petted anywhere but on her head, and she's so awesome too.

Right now we have four C*ckatiels, but we used to have an African Grey Senegal, which was my baby, a Yellow-headed Amazon [my dad's], and a Moluccan C*ckatoo, who was my mom's. At the same time we had two Green-cheeked Conures and four different C*ckatiels at the same time. Quite a zoo, huh? xD
When I get older and move out I want to adopt a Galah C*ckatoo and a Rainbow Lorikeet<3

My daughter had pet parakeets (Jade & Crystal). They both died the same day. Do you suppose that when the gas furnace was turned on for the winter that the escaping fumes poisoned them?

I had a parakeet which did learn to talk. That was in my late teens. Her talking was quite plain. She was quite tame and friendly, but you could never drink coffee around her, she'd steal it! Land on the side of the cup and drink. She was so ornery!!

Night frights - put a couple LED night lights in the room for him. Make sure the window blinds are closed since car headlights can cause shadows which scare them. The LED lights also help him see if he does jump off the perch.

Yeah, Just leave on some type nightlight. A lamp with a 25 watt bulb. You do not cover the cage do you? Quiet room, night light, uncovered cage so as to not startle the bird with your movements. Even after that if you enter the room do it slowly & I even talk to my birds softly as I'm starting to walk in so to not startle them which has happened if I enter to quickly!.

Have you consulted an "exotic" animal vet? i've been told that birds that show signs like yours have been traumatized in some way. did you obtain her from someone else? there could have been problems in her back ground that had to do with trauma at night. consulting a vet is the best thing you could possibly do for you feathered friend! good luck!!!
i myself have two parakeets at this time....Blu & Tucker....bad boys,that's for sure!

It is really sad that birds have to suffer from loneliness...
My lovely medium sulfur crested c*ckatoo does this when she is lonely. She has got to keep the device made of certain size plastic funnel around her neck and body to protect her from destroying herself. It works really well for my bird. If you would like to know how it is made, feel free to contact me.

I have a c*ckateil for 25 years. He can even sound like an owl he hears in the yard. He is crazy. I love him.
