Here's some pics of Kirby, my alexandrine. (you've probably seen all these Dani!) The 1st one I took to show Dani how I set up Kirby's cage area. He's really a sweet, fun bird!! The first time I saw him he was covered in green pin feathers and I fell in love with that big red beak! I ran home and tried to find out more information about alexandrines before going back and putting a deposit on him - but there wasn't much info. out there. I found a lady who had pictures of her alexandrine on her website - so took a chance and emailed her asking her ?'s. She was very nice and answered all my ?'s and I went back and placed my deposit. I visited him 3-4 times a week until he was weaned and ready to come home. Shortly after that I found an email group on yahoo for alex owners, which helped a lot! Kirby has always been a gentle bird. He's not one to bite (though it's really hard to not notice an angry alex which helps! LOL) Even when the kids try and pick him up and he's "not in the mood" he'll gently nip them to warn them and they know to leave him alone. (he's never broken the skin) He loves people! Very friendly to strangers - just about anyone can pick him up. Kirby's almost 4 now and we're still part of the yahoo group. It's been nice to see our members increase over the years - alexandrines are still not real well known in the bird world - but they're starting to get more attention.

He is such a beauty!

He is gorgeous! He looks not real, like someone painted him!

He's absolutely gorgeous!!

Those are some great pics of him Stephanie.
I feel your frustration. back when I first got Indy, my IRN, there was not much info at all on the web and they were not a really well known bird.
Thirteen years later, you can find them online so much easier as well as them being much more popular.
Alexs are wonderful birds as well as being drop dead gorgeous - and what a difference in personality from the ringneck. Just great birds.

He is the cutest Alex ever (well besides mine of course teehee)

I can't wait until mine rings out...what a stunner! Still trying to think up a name for mine...

More pics!

Dani
