Name is Melissa and I am a 28yo college student taking Web Development & Design, and am also a graduate in the field of Animal Care. I had a lovebird in high school but my father became severely allergic to birds so I was unable to have more after Kiwi died at only 2yo. I am currently owned by two Pacific Parrotlets, Minoru and Midori (tried to tame Midori but alas she wants nothing to do with me so I rescued a male which she has since become attached to). I am soon to also be owned by an unnamed Senegal which is currently 6-7 weeks old and being hand fed by the breeder.
I have experience working at my local zoo handling Macaws, Cockatoos, as well as a Yellow fronted Amazon and other small-medium parrots.
I look forward to learning & reading about everyone's little 'fids!
Cage, picture is about a year old now but you can see how much SPACE there is!
Day after adopting Minoru he figured out how to open his cage door and flew 3 rooms over to Midori's cage which was in my bedroom. His quarantine was short to say the least!
Silly me decided to see how they would both behave out of the cage for the first time at the same time. I was doing my homework with each bird on opposite sides of the 2 window wide drapes, within 15-20mins I heard a noise to look up and realize to me "horror" that what I expected to be an all out fight was in fact the opposite....they have not been able to be separated since!
AND last but not least....my fav pic of Midori from last summer after she had a mist bath. She has a little fro'hawk going on, too cute!
Cute birds! Congrats on your baby too - when does he come home?
