Bird chronicles

Is about 6" long. Adorable, and oh so pretty.

Small parrots are so damn cute and they have so much personality. They aren't known for their speaking ability, but they can mimic sounds...and some do talk a little. Male parrotlets will learn to talk, I'm going to try to teach mine some stuff. It'll probably be garbled, like my conure's speech was. Pickles can mimic sounds and he even still mimics some of the speech from my conure. Sometimes when he's in his cage I'll hear a squeaky little "Whatcha doin'" that sounds more like "Oocha dooh". Hehe, only I know what it is. He mostly likes to mimic my laugh. It's so cute, sounds like...ta-tic-ta-tic-ta-tic... Pfft...you'd have to be there!

Leonard, my conure, was a halfmoon conure. She was cool...

I gave her to a nice Mexican family with a little girl. I hope she's doing okay...last I checked she was very happy. I lost contact with them though. I miss her, but she was a pain in the ass. Very very very noisy and messy. It just wasn't the time in my life for a bird like that. I could get another one, but I wanna try something different. I think another tiny bird will be easier for me to deal with. Especially since my zoo has grown so much.

Okay, next entry I talk about the last couple of days. Really. I was going to do it last night, but I fell asleep early. Gotta work now though.
