We have a a 8-1/2 mo. female severe named "Gabby" who we visited at the breeders since she was 10 weeks old. We fell in love with her personality. Severe macaws are playful and active, they can be hyper but- calm down quickly with only a whisper. Recently we adopted a 2 yr. old female Severe "Sassy" that was neglected and plucked most of her feathers.... she is adjusting very well in our home, and has stopped the plucking and seems happy.
This species of parrots are very easy to fall in love with, can occupy themselves with chewing, and are very good talkers. We love ours very much and enjoy spending time with them!

My parakeet is Skittles. She is very perky and sweet. I think they are the best pet you could have!

I have a parakeet named Cupcake. He is so sweet. That is why I named him Cupcake. He is about 5 months old. I used to have two birds that mated and had 3 eggs. All three hatched. One of them was cupcake. About a week later the two babies died. Then a week after that Cupcakes mom and dad died and Cupcake became an orphan so I had to feed him by hand and he is doing great. I love him soo much and Im glad that he survived.

My Girlfirend works at a High School, and she and a couple of co-workers found this cute bird. Well low and behold it is a younge nanday conure. Everyone decided that she should take the bird home since we have a Double yellow headed amazon named Apollo, and a senigal parrot named Kiji. Well, our newest addition is very social, and loves to visit and be near people. I am not a bird fan, due to being attacked when I was a child. Well let me just say, I now have a conure typing on the keyboard with me. I am very nervous of it taking a chunk out of me, but I am dealing with that. I have named it JesterBird.. this way gender could never be an issue.

A grey cockateil bird flew in through my car door when I was outside and I didnt notice him until I got home. Ive only had him for a day and it surprised me that he can sing and whistle and say little phrases, such as Hey and good boy and come here. He also makes the cutest noise by putting his beak out and then in again. Im not really sure of how to take care of him just yet, but Im going to go to Petsmart tommorow and buy him some toy-like things.

I have a pet lorikeet named JoJo who is a very talkative bird. He says at least 40 different words including the normal ones such as hello and whatcha doin, and also says things such as hey baby and sings. this bird also is very playful and only is attached to me (will bite everyone else). He pretends to be shot if your hand looks like a gun and many other tricks. This species of bird is great to have as a pet!

I spent 6 months looking for an african grey that needed a good home and didnt cost the earth as I have 3 children and money is always an issue.

I found an 18 month old timneh with a cage in a local paper and was reluctant to buy because I thought it was an inferior bird, could I of been more wrong, this bird is bright as a button sings and talks non stop, snuggles into my chest at nite and literally purrs like a cat...

I have freinds with congos that talk very well but cant be handled, not to say they are all like that, but if you have any doubt about the timneh being a lesser bird totally dismiss that idea from your head.

Totally lovely bird i would highly recommend to anyone, equal to the congo if not better in my opinion...

We have two parakeets... Coco (which stands for coconut in Spanish--actually blue coconut because he is blue & white) & Nieves(which stands for snow in Spanish. She is completely white with red eyes). Nieves had a broken leg from another bird...does this heal on its own? I would like to communicate with someone who is "Parakeet-Savy!"..please contact me @ blanca_hix@yahoo.com...We love Coco & Nieves!
