Posted December 23, 200816 yr Pictures of my bird flock. Mungo the quaker parrot and Albert (nanday conure.) Preening is a new development in their relationship, I mean very new, they've been doing this for a few days. They used to hate eachother. Albert had a girlfirend Ronda who died as a result of an accident and we figured we should get him a friend to keep him company. Since I live in Estonia and there aren't many nandays available and we were lucky enough to find an ad about a quaker parrot and since in nature nandays and quakers live closely together we thought that was a good idea. For a few months Mungo disliked Albert and he didn't know how to communicate with him (he hadn't been around other birds, but he's not tame either.. he doesn't bite you when you touch him but he growls and would much rather be left alone, so we don't press that matter. ) Mungo warmed up to Albert and Albert stopped being such a jerk since Mungo is a rather serious um, guy.. Albert used to do all sort of stuff to annoy Mungo. They slowly became kind-of friends.. they were friendly to each other when they were bored. ..I guess they really like christmas because today they were side by side preening eachother which is something they had never done before. ..They are both boys by the way. Albert: (that's what happens to your walls if you get birds..) Mungo: Mungo and Chadwick: Marvin and Clara (nandays): Clara is a feather plucker. We got them in the summer, their owner passed away and her relative inherited them. Since she wasn't a bird person she started looking for someone who knew anything about the species and that's how we got them. We've changed all the environmental factors we could think of and it seems that there are feathers growing back to her shoulders.. but I don't know. Chadwick and Cora: Cora and Chad's chick (who should go to a new home in a few days):
December 23, 200816 yr Awww theyre so lovely. Its nice that Albert has allowed Mungo to be his friend. I too have a quaker and a conure. My quaker came first, my conure was an outdoor bird. There were introduced slowly and I worried about them fighting, but within two weeks they loved each other so much, they started sharing the same "apartment". My guys dont play with budgies though, I dont have pet indoor budgies unless I am taming one for someone else, and budgies tend to lose toes if they land on Saffy and Morris's cage - so budgies live in my room when being tamed lol Thanks for sharing. Are Nandos loud birds? I have heard they are almost as bad as Suns?
