My name is Nadia and I live in Dubai - United Arab Emirates.
I have 3 parrots.
Named Casco. He will be 3 years this February. I got him from a pet store when he was just 2 months. I hand feed him for about 2 months. He was eating on his own but not all the time. I did not know nothing about parrots and fell in love with him in the store. I can say he choose me. He came in to my hand and snuggle in to my arms. That was all and he came home.Shortly after that I decide to take a Macaw. I was looking for a Scarlet Macaw but decide to take blue and gold instead. I was convinced by the information I read that they are better choice is you wish to train them. I start looking for a baby Macaw not more then 4 months but there was nothing available. One day I found a 6-7 months old Blue and Gold Macaw with a local pet shop owner. The bird was leaving in his house but was for sale. We arrange to meat. He was really beautiful and friendly. He came out of his travel cage, he step up and allowed me to pet him. So I got a friend for Casco. A Blue and Gold Macaw named Jack
From day one the birds where together and spend most of the time out of the cage. They even sleep for long in one cage. They are very good with each other and don't fight. I'm happy because they can be out and we don't need to worry. They know each other well and have there limits set.
Just les then a month ago I adopted a Goffin Cockatoo :
- his name is Goofy and he is 7 years old. Very friendly and funny. He is like a clown at home. I'm still waiting some time to introduce Goofy to the rest. He was leaving by himself in the previous hose. Very good and loving family but they where travelling a lot and could not give Goofy the time he needed and he was use to. I quarantine him but he is healthy, eating well and have never bean with contacts with other animals. I'm thinking to start showing Goofy to the other two so they can get use to each other.My parrots are well socialized. They both speak, Goofy sings and as per his owner he can speak some words.
I came to this forum to learn more about parrot training . I wish to start training my birds to do some tricks not just to be pet and snuggle.
I wish to know if I can train all of them together or I will need to train them one by one.
I will be happy to know if there is any one freom Dubai here in this forum.
Please let me know your opinion.
amazon parrot which we bought about a week ago its a 1 year old and according to my parents (who bought it) it was very friendly and calm during the journey from the store to our home after reaching home and putting inside his cage(which is always open) when ever we try to pet it or ask it to come on our hand it starts to open his beak to bite and makes a hissing noise and when no one is around it starts making loud sounds (which after sometime makes it unbearable)
