A Better Bird Ep 13 – How Bird Proof Is Your Home? Video
[videopress Sf6Og98t]
In about 24 months our household has gone from 0 to 9 birds.
Six budgies (2 males/4 females), a female Senegal (surgically sexed) and a male African ringneck (males have the ring).
I fondly call the budgies my little hooligans who have their own cage as does Peaches our 9 year old female Senegal and Keto the newest member to our family, the 17-year-old male African ringneck.

A Better Bird Ep 12 Migrating 6 Budgies From Cage To Aviary – Video
I’ve often said the universe is too complex to be arbitrary.
We brought home a Prevue F040 birdcage for our six budgies, but once built we clearly felt it was too small.

or a single toddler
To say that all birds are time-consuming is an unsupported blanket statement.
We have a Senegal parrot and an African ringneck.
Neither is very noisy.

I just want to thank you for the weekly messages – for the stories you tell, and all that you teach us.
I have had a 10-year-old female Goffin’s cockatoo in my care for 2-1/2 years.

She had many animals.
Horses, dogs, cats, snakes, rats, and a bird.
