Happy Hatchday Pixel!
Interrupting what seems to have been the longest I've not posted here in quite some time in order to celebrate a hatchdate!
Pixel turns 11 today!

Happy Petey day!
Today is the joint "gotcha" and hatch day celebration for Petey. As we don't know his exact hatch date, we have decided to celebrate it on the day we first got him.
So today, he "turns" 20 years old, and he's been with us for seven years!
Happy "gotcha" and hatchday Petey!

Happy Hatchday Léa!
Léa turns 4 today!
Happy hatchday Léa!
In no hurry to be a full "red" head, maybe never!
It's a lot of hard work being this cute!

Happy Hatchday Pixel!
And here we are - Pixel's 10th hatchday!
She's my second bird to be in the "double digits", although the first to get there while in my care (Petey was already 12 or 13 when we got him). She's the first of a few that will get there in the next few months.
For once, I don't have many pictures lined up for a hatchday post and will probably have to rectify this over the week-end!
Happy Hatchday Pixel!

Happy "Gotcha day" Petey!
Six years ago (yesterday), Petey joined the flock.
Although most of his history is unknown to me, I know the few months prior to us getting him were filled with change; he ended up in a rescue, was adopted out and came back within a few weeks. Out of all of my birds, he's the one who has had the most homes.
He also is the oldest, and given we don't know exactly when his hatchdate is, we will celebrate him turning 19 today (his band does say he was hatched in 1995).
Although being the oldest is really no excuse for him having had so many "homes". I truly hope that none of my other birds will have to go through what he did, and they won't so long as I am able to properly care for them.
In any case, today is Petey's day. While he and I are still on a "no touch" basis, the Boy, who has always been "his person", has made even more progress as far as Petey trusting him. While Petey was always enamored with him, there are certain things even the Boy couldn't do. But this year, the Boy has been able to pick him up with his hands (as opposed to asking him to step up) and has even managed to have Petey lay on his back in his hand for a few minutes at a time - things that he could never do before.
Hopefully this continues!
Happy "gotcha day" and happy hatchday Petey!

Happy Hatchday Léa!
Léa turns 3 today!
How time flies! It feels like just yesterday I was wondering if she was in fact a boy when she lost all the coral on her head around nine months of age...before it slowly came back.
The last year was interesting. When they say terrible twos....well, she took full advantage of it! She wasn't terrible to deal with, but she did test her boundaries a lot, including what she can do with her beak. Over the past few months, she has started to calm back down, which makes me really hope it was just a phase. Don't get me wrong, I went into this whole getting a baby parrot thing knowing there would be a time where things would be a bit more difficult, as she was learning what was ok to do and what wasn't. I just didn't remember how exactly it went, although I think things were a bit smoother with Piper and Shade.
One reason I really like Pois is because they have quite a bit of personality, know exactly what they like and don't like and will stick by that. Just now, Léa has decided that a toy belongs on the ground and I keep bringing it back up (as I would forget it is there and likey step on it and I doubt it would be pleasant.) Well she's having none of it, keeps throwing it back down AND is now throwing other items, likely just to prove she can. And while some people would find it annoying, I also find it amusing, because every time something goes flying off the table, she gives me a look...
Anyways, enough rambling!
Happy hatchday Léa!
