Welcome! Your flock is absolutely beautiful! You're so lucky to be able to provide for all of those birds. I'm definitely jealous!

Thanks again everyone. 7 of the 11 are rehome or rescues--some having had excellent care, others not so much.

We are definitely at our limit space/time-wise, so it's unlikely the flock will be getting any bigger though we both are interested in other species such as Greenwing and Mini Macaws as well as Golden Conures.

Noise is definitely a problem. I just got a pair of 32-decibel, noise-attenuating headphones, and that's still not enough. Sometimes wish I had a sound booth. Other times noise is fun, and I join in.

Agi our Hawkhead had just gone through an especially difficult time hormonally. After a cage relocation in a corner next to a window, he appears to be much better and has returned to being an affectionate companion. It's nice to have our boy back.

I hand raised a Hawk Head and he was my favorite bird I ever raised! So much personality. I've never known an adult though and I hear they can be difficult and hormonal. I'm glad you have your sweet bird back!
