Hi...I'm a new member and mom of 2 green cheeks

Postby Kiboo » Thu May 20, 2010 6:13 pm

Hello.

My name is Marie and I live in Quebec, Canada. I am owned by 2 cutie little green cheek conure parrots.

My one year old drama queen is Kiwi. She is definately the center of attention. We have had her since she was about 5 months old. Her wings were clipped but they are now almost all grown out. I won't be having them clipped again.
My little 3 month old mischiever is Booboo. He has been with us since he was almost 2 months old. His wings are clipped but you would never know it. He gets around the apartment with the greatest of ease. Imagine when his flight feathers grow back in. hahaha

It's nice to meet everyone.

Marie

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k8ihIqwY78c This is my Kiwi who is out of the cage most of the time. But when she's in there, she does like to keep things tidy. Booboo only came along after this video was taken. I'm still getting the hang of things here.

Below are two photos of Kiwi and Booboo in their bird room. I'll send more another time.

Welcome! Kiwi and Booboo are so cute! Kiwi's video is adorable, I loved when she rolled over onto her back.

Thank you everyone. Yes Kiwi is a little doll in that video. It was my first try. She's funny when she rolls over. I'm trying to get one when she does her little ballet thingy. She is soo cute in that.

Hi...thank you for the welcome. Yes I did make Kiwi's bed. They sell them for $25.00 at the pet shop and I made it with a winter felt tuque (hat). I opened the edge and put a hard platic in to make it rigid. She just loves it. The whole thing cost me $2.50 to make. :swaying:
