Re: Parrots
Darts under proper care can live 20-30 years.
Even if they dont, youll be breeding them soon enough to have a line that will go on for a long time. I used to breed about five different species. Now living a nomadic lifestyle wont allow it, but Ill get back into it when I get back. I've had snakes, and have some interest in hots, but not enough I think to go through with it. Darts are definitely my favorite herp I have ever worked with.

Re: Parrots
I lost my terrier to old age in April. It was a bad time, coming after a year in which I lost both my mother and my wife. Now I have a standard poodle pup (11 mo.) Life is already getting better. Birds are great to look at but a life without dogs is not worth living.

Re: Parrots
Picked up a Yellow Nape Amazon parrot today.He is 9 years old and his name is Popeye.The cage was included but he will be getting a larger cage with a play area on top.
He was sort of bitey at the shop but after getting him home he came out of his cage and was pretty nice.He evidently likes his new home because he goes to my son and wife(who wasnt thrilled) also.

Re: Parrots
Congrats on your new parrot. I don't know a thing about them but he looks cute.
I mostly wanted to say how sorry I am to hear about your dog passing. That's a tough one. I hope your doing alright. |

Re: Parrots
Don't get a bird that is the same color as your carpet. Ask me how I know.

Re: Parrots
Popeye has transformed to a snapping menace to a love sponge.I guess getting your cage cleaned,a shower and some treats changed his attitude.
Today he was letting EVERYONE pet and scratch him.At the shop he was on attack mode.He let my grandson pet him before anyone.
