They were so cute! They were so LOUD! After they moved on to separate foster homes, we found out that individually these conures were very, very sweet and not nearly so incessantly noisy.
Meanwhile, we took in Pickles, an Indian Ringneck Parakeet
;
Pickles is a happy, healthy little bird, who just happens to be afraid of hands. So we're working on that.
Our latest addition is Petey, a yellow-collar macaw
Petey is an older bird, at least 17 years old. He started out with a pretty good life, but in the last year things got very stressful. That's why his back looks bare in the first picture--he has plucked all the feathers off his back. With some love, attention, a steady schedule and a nutritous diet, we expect Petey to be back in fine feather one day soon.
