Re: Parrots & Happy New Year Everyone

[Guest guest]

Hi Sharon, fellow bird lady:

Your little sun conure is just a beauty...We reside with a little

quaker (aka monk parrots--or as I like to call them, the pigeons of

parrots!). His name is Dready (short for Dreadlocks), he is a terror,

but a cute one, and he definitely rules the roost around here. He has

a pretty good vocabulary: " Hello, Hey Baby, Hey Boo, Hey Ba-boo, Good

Boy, Mmmmmmm!, Yeah! and my new all-time favorite: Aaaaa-ight?? " (Think

Ali G meets Flavah Flav)

I'll try to post a picture at some point, but if you are not familiar

with quakers, go to www.brooklynparrots.com. The little flying thugs

run wild in the streets and skies all over Brooklyn, and apparently in

7 other state in the North and East.

Peace and many happy parrots in the New Year!

Edie

Edie, your little Dready sounds wonderful!

I am familar with quakers, but only by sight and by magazine articles. How

old is he? Shemesh turned 12 in November.

My hubby's from Israel, and " shemesh " (short e, as in " them " ) means " sun " in

Hebrew, so my baby's name is exotic if not particularly original.

:^)

Sun conures are not noted for their talking ability. Maybe if Shemesh were

a boy she would talk some, but she seems to lack the equipment, and becomes

indignant at attempts to get her to talk. She certainly understands a few

words, and has taught us to speak a little " sun conure " . I had a talking

budgie for 3 years, so I know how much fun it is.

She is bossy also, and becomes a terror on occasion. She used to try to

drive any newcomer out of the house, but I've taught her to accept a couple

of neighbor kids so now she accepts SOME people as long as they don't break

any of her rules. There's one little boy in particular, with a buzz cut and

glasses, that she refuses to accept, so my guess is that she encountered a

particularly annoying little boy during her time in a pet store cage.

One thing I love about Shemesh is that she's a cuddler. Is Dready?

Enjoy!

Sharon
