Very pretty colors.. I don't see that very often.
I was wondering this a few months ago, and don't know if I asked.. but I see you have 7 birds now that are still babies... I'm just wondering what it will be like when they start hitting sexual maturity in a few years. My first parrot is now 3 1/2, so he's getting close. I know that statistically most parrots are given up or abondoned at this time, so I've always worried about the transition from bappy to adult. But I have the mini macaws, so don't have the big hormonal beaks to deal with :-)

I'm pretty certain it will probably be a circus around here in a few years :-). So what the heck--I used to travel with a carnival, so that kind of "fun and games" is old hat for me :-). I don't throw away family members, though, not even when they're obnoxious teenagers and 20-somethings--lucky for my daughter, or she'da been outta here! LOL! Boys are sooooooooooo much easier to raise than girls..... Nice thing is, everyone, everybird, every creature eventually becomes and adult with a personality of their own. With that maturing, they tend to settle down. We will still love them, even as they change their personalities and grow up.

We will deal with the issue when it happens, and dependent upon each individual bird's needs. At some point, we'll be either adding on to this house and enlarging the outdoor aviary, or we'll move somewhere bigger and out in the country where we can do that, for the sake of the birds. It's not a problem for us. After all, we bought THIS house for the dogs :-). If they prefer a different friend than the one they're currently buddied up with, so be it. If they are more interested in each other than in us, so be it--they'll be expensive, beautiful aviary birds with as large and natural a space as we can provide for them.

In other words, I really don't know what will happen when they all become mature, but we'll roll with it and work it out. Hopefully, they will remain our friends, as well as keep their own identities as wild, individual and flock animals. No matter what the future brings, though, as long as we are able, we will do what's in their best interests. When we become too old or feeble or ill to care for them properly, we will find them homes with our trusted bird-loving friends. Until that time comes, though, they'll stay with us, and we'll respect and love them for who they are, no matter what.

WOW, another one? when are you going to run out of room, lol! i must say, i shared the same concerns as tresmacaws, but it sounds like you are doing a good job and are in the proper mindset. with that many birds, all you can really live for is them i'd imagine!

anyways, bowie is very beautiful indeed!
