Come and meet my beautiful flock

Toby the Kakariki

We got Toby in April 2005 we were told he is 6 months old. We live in melbourne Australia.  He is parent raised but amazingly friendly and very curious (apparently a breed trait) He quickly learnt to land on our hands and will do just about anything for a sunflower seed but dosen't like to be touched again a kakariki trait they aren't a snuggly bird but we like that and he more than makes up for it in his funny antics and lovely songs I will try to record it. He kind of sounds like a dolphin (you know the start of the old flipper show) wierd I know but true, very soft though not at all a loud parrot. I will attempt to post more pics I have some issues redusing the size. LOL  I did not realize untill I got him and joined the kakariki site that they are an endangered bird in New Zealand and most NZ nders have never even seen or heard of them a bit sad really.

Update

All is going very well astrix is growing up he is just begining his first moult and he and toby seem to be mates they dont snuggle or anything but they follow each other around and call to each other if seperated ( plus have a few little tiffs) Asterix has turned out to be quite a mischovous little fellow and seems to have a knack for pulling things down and chewing my blinds!!!! Toby of course supervises all from a safe distance  LOL

Tiko

Our new baby Green cheek arrived on the 21-9-2005 at just over 9 weeks old. Everyone who has met his so far just adores him.We have only had him for a week but he has won his way into all our hearts forever. So far he is an absolute snuggle bug who loves nothing more than a scritch and to fall asleep in my hair ir curled up in my tshirt.............he also likes showers with mummy and playing ball.......I hope to add more as he grows up...... and the big meeting between toby and asterix.

Tiko was puching this toy of my daughters around.......he tryed to jump on the man and it fell over and now he doesnt like it...lol

Meeting

Well they have all met now that tiko has the all clear....I had them in the same room for a few days with seperate time out....and they were very happy and curious about each other.....when they were all out for the first time together all they did was preen them selves for about 1/2 an hour then they checked each other out had a few little pecks at each other and that was it they did there own thing....so it is all going well....tiko keeps grabing onto astrixs tail as he goes past and kind of gets towed alot while astrix scwarks......Toby is just happy to have someone to explore with......

Lele

Lele is a male princess parrot he is handraised and very lovely, I have always loved princess parrots since i was a little girl.

I have a birds or Australia book and used to spend hours looking at the pictures of the princess parrot so i am so excited to be sharing my home with one.

Lele has a damaged wing somthing had happened to him before i got him so it looks like he will never be able to fly but he is very cheery and very very active,

he is always swinging upside down and rolling around on the floor, he is a very good imitater and can copy the sounds of all of my birds.
