yes the shelter i work at burned down 2 yrs ago, we lost about 150 animals, i didnt work there then. very sad event indeed.
just came home from the bird house lol the lady is so funny, an old parrot lady, you can imagine.
and those birds run her house, she has no control what so ever LOL just parrot jungle.
malibu, a scarlet macaw, is HILARIOUS, but very dangerous, he is mean to anyone but her, and even to her sometimes. he talks up a storm and no cage can hold him lol .. he is a master escape artist, i sat and watched him pick his food bowl out of the hook, reach his tongue around and unlock the door that holds the food dish and literally squeeze his macaw size body out that tiny hole LMAO then jump to the floor and chase us around, he ripped the bottom of my scrub pants and put a big hole in my friends jeans and even into the top of her shoes haha he is something else and fiercly jealous of anyone who gets attention over him.
the amazons are just funny, fiercly independant and she would tell them to go back to the cage and they would literally all together scream in her face LMAO then laugh haha
a cockatoo names taz, omg, funniest bird i have ever seen. we were in the living room talking, he was in his cage at the back of the house and all of a sudden i look over and see this cockatoo swinging from the cieling fan
he had removed the locking pin from his door locks, all 3 of them, and got out, we never did find the pins LOL
i nearly wet myself laughing!!!!!! she was like oh honey you cant control them, they are all beasts!!! HAHA
taz came down and sat on my arm for over a hour and talked to me and laughed, he can mimic my exact laugh, it sounded exactly like me. he says hello alot, and dances and flexes his crest for you. loooves to be pet under his wings and will roar like a lion while flexing all his feathers in his crest, he is an umbrella cockatoo so its a big crest lol
and the roar is too funny, so loud and so strong. then i was like ok i am gona take pictures now of each bird to start a file on them all and taz says "picture time" lmao then i was taking his picture and he says "i like your camera" clear as day, and totally unprovoked and no one has said the word camera LOL he took it in his foot and was inspecting it and handed it back to me!!!!!!
then i was talking about what his diet is and what it should be and he said " i like fresh fruit" LMAO i was like oh ok ill write that down and he says "write"
like why ask the human, taz can speak for himself !!!!!!!
one of the amazons says " come on girls" "cage time" "shut up birds" and if malibu goes to their cage they all 3 scream MALIBU
LMAO he goes over to bite their feet so they hate him, all 3 amazons are girls and they are soo funny.
the keets, tiels and doves all live together in a huge aviary she built onto the side of her house. its really nice just needs a good cleaning, and i did some cleaning but it needs more.
i have got the bird birds into rescues and only tiels, keets and doves are left,and the pigeons. the doves and pigeons will go to a wildlife sancuary soon. the tiels and keets are all for adoption. one of the dove pairs has 6 eggs and 2 babies
so i have a foster home lined up for them so the babies can get some hand feeding.
so i did alot of work today lol she is keeping taz the cockatoo and malibu the macaw, she loves and they are her pets, but thats all she is keeping. and i will be in constant contact with her and will be at her house every sunday afternoon to deep clean the cages and check the birds health and so on.
wheew!
No, really.... I wish I lived closer to Florida....I hear all of those poor little tiels calling me. Maryland is by no means close though lol. Or I would foster some for you.
