These birds are like my kids :lol: We get them in at around 2 weeks to a month of age and raise them at the store. Many of them have found homes since I took the photos, but I love them all to death!
First up we have Boo, the 4 month old Green Wing Macaw. He has learned quite a few words already (hello, love you, oooh!) and will high five and spread his wings on command! :biggrin5:
Next is Leila, our Lilac Crowned Amazon. She went home... 2 weeks ago? She was such a cutie, she always copied my voice whenever she talked!
Third is Mr. E, our baby Eclectus, who went home a few months ago. Such a sweet, gentle bird. He went to a family of 4, two 12+ year old kids. They all love him to death!
Fourth is Hahnsie, our Hahn's Macaw. She has the cutest little voice! Sweet, but a little nippy, and shy around new people. All in all, average macaw! :lol: We hope to find her a new home soon!
Fifth is my baby, a Senegal, who went home 2 months ago. I believe they named him Chevey! He was shy and hated everyone but me but with some work and care, I convinced his new owners to take him home and he has warmed up to them tremendously! Still won't come out of the cage willingly but will beg for scratches and kisses!
Next is Angel, the Pionus my mom actually took home! :rofl: The disadvantages to working at a pet shop - I take so many home!
Sixth we have our month and a half (I believe) little Sun Conure! He/She is SUCH a ham! Already trying to talk in the cute conure way, will try and hide wherever he/she can and snuggle up to you, eats like a little hog!
Lastly, my little Blue, the blue Quaker! She is such a little darling, will blow me kisses and talk to me and we're working on the cage possession she's developed in the last week or two
Typical quaker, eh?
I figured everyone would like to meet the fids I work with - they're like my kids in so many ways, we spend so much time raising them and socializing them, it really is a full time job! Not to mention the cleaning! That's my worst favorite part - I clean poop all day then come home and clean MORE poop! :rofl:
