Amazons

I want an african grey but I'm sure how they would act around snakes.

They're all different, but the place where I volunteer has a Congo African Grey and she's fine around the snakes. I think she was raised around them though. She's a sweetie, I'm typically nervous around birds and I'll pick her up and even let her nibble on my hand.

I have a Nugget, Nugget, Chicken Nugget......aka Lutino Lovebird. LOVE her!



She started plucking herself in June and started looking pretty raggedy. Talked to a lovebird breeder (True Love Aviary) to get some ideas - she really was too young to be doing it hormonally, and I changed her to a diet that they suggested (she was a seed ADDICT - and turned her nose up to much else), and she's starting to grow back her feathers now. She gets her "dry" food at bedtime, and a cooked meal when I get home from work. Her bedtime food lasts her JUST about until I get home, and then she's ready to chow down on her Beak Appetit (which has been discontinued, but I bought enough to feed a single love bird for years! LOL).

I also make a "birdie bread" for her as well.

Cute lil nugget. The TLA folks are real nice, I met them at a forum get together a couple years ago.

As far as birds and snakes together, as long as you're not letting them interact (and you shouldn't be), everything should be fine. My birds don't even really know I have snakes, that's how often I have them around one another.

Ok so this is my bird Dr. Jones (yes as in Indiana Jones)


This is my boyfriends bird Bailey. We walked out of the kitchen for s SECOND and we came back to this scene...


Wel also have 2 rose breasted cockatoos and an aviary full of cockatiels, parakeets and button quial. As you can see, the umbrellas are the jokers of our family

I have 4 year old maths double yellow headed amazon named april. She has a wonderful personality and a joy to our family. I also have a 26 year old blue and gold macaw named Tm that I have had since he was a hatchling. Love my birds and don't know if life would be complete without them.

I don't own an Amazon YET but I'd love to one day. Right now I have 2 Blue & Gold Macaws, 2 Parrotlets, 1 Lineolated Parakeet and 1 Senegal Parrot.

Our Maui Sunset Macaw, Kiwi.


She's a handful, but I love her to death.
