Greetings!

Just found this place today and thought I'd join in.

My first large winged friend was a wild-caught molluccan cockatoo I bought from a pet store in Hawaii in 1987. She tamed down beautifully and you'd have thought she was a hand raised baby. She was stolen years later by a breeder in PA. (Long story)

My second was a B&G macaw that I crop-fed for a few weeks before weaning. Again this was while living in Hawaii. I had him for about a year then my oldest on came home from the hospital. The getting to know each other didn't work and he was constantly lunging at the baby or trying to bite at him. Very agitated whenever the baby was being held and he wasn't. I was forced to place him into another loving home.

My third was a male molluccan bought as a companion to my female once my youngest came home from the hospital. Another stolen by the breeder. Long story short is that I should have gotten rid of the eX sooner and kept the birds in my care.

My 4th bird is a congo african grey that I bought from my colleague. Lets just say that for two years before my colleague decided to place him, I heard tale after tale of this wonderful bird. My colleague told great tales and loved this bird of that I have no doubt but he didn't tell me the whole story. After purchase my colleague would start to ramble about the bird and more came out. Even more was learned once I finally met his adult daughter. Let's just say that Tutu did not come with full disclosure. I still have him and he loves my fiance but for me goes for blood. If the boytoy and I split, he gets Tutu. So it is written and so it shall be done. Don't get me wrong, Tutu is a great bird but goes for blood on anyone with boobs.

My new baby due to come home soon, well I'm not talking about him yet except to say that he is a hand-raised baby and if all goes as planned, I'll be picking him up around Labor Day weekend. I'd say more but some catastrophy could hit that pulls the mucho bucks elsewhere. Only a few more weeks to ward off catastrophy.

I'm low on non-human friends right now as the only other creature in the house is a 6 month old rott/lab mix. Unless of course you want to count teenagers because those of us that have them know that they aren't human! I have two of those of the gender male.

The teenagers are for sale if anyone is interested. You feed them, you can have them! It is because of them that I know why animals eat their young!!!

Well thats long enough for a first post.

Got questions? Ask away.

It is a big file and is still loading. Give about 40 minutes from the time of this post and it should be good to go.

It should be ready in about 6 more minutes.

Oh yeah and thanks for the welcome folks!



Edited to say the video is uploaded!

Hope you enjoy it, it made me smile.

Welcome to pc, if you find out how to get teenagers to mow their own lawn or do anything else useful I am interested. You selling teen boys, is this just to make the sale final? I have one of each gender so I understand, boys are expensive to feed and girls just like boys.
