Ok, I'm not much of a writer... this Blog thing seems to be the thing now days.
I'm a mother to over 100 Parrots and one human child.
My hobby started over 10 years ago with a cockatiel named Charlie. I guess you could say I really got bit by that bird bug when I got my first Congo African Grey, Maxine. I wanted a pet parrot that I could hold, play with, and spoil. She fell for Dad. Within 6 months I got Clyde (a Timneh African Grey) sent from FL. She loved Mom and anyone that would play with her.
While at work I found an add in the paper for Congo Grey breeders. I phoned the people and went up to see them. I purchased 2 pairs of Congo's and a pair of Timnehs from the nicest people. I also learned alot from them. The story is a long one from there.... Amazons, Cockatoos, Macaws, Eclectus, Plum Heads, Conures and more... I couldn't help myself...lol.
My feathered children get fed very well. Pelletts, seeds, fruit, veggies, and treats. They also get toys. Even the breeders! I spet tons of money trying to keep those big birds in toys. They would chew one up within a matter of days. I started searching for wholesale parts and decided to make my own. I now own and opperate a small Online Toy Store.
I wouldn't say I'm an expert at this bird/parrot thing. I'm always learning something new. Just one of the many things I enjoy.
