I've enjoyed thoroughly reading about parrots in the wild in the U.S. I certainly wish I lived in area where they would come to my patio to be fed :) Jill > I've enjoyed thoroughly reading about parrots in the wild in the U.S. I > certainly wish I lived in area where they would come to my patio to be fed > :) > > Jill Buy a big bag girl, I will send my lot over :0) >> I've enjoyed thoroughly reading about parrots in the wild in the >> U.S. I certainly wish I lived in area where they would come to my [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] >> > Buy a big bag girl, I will send my lot over :0) >> I've enjoyed thoroughly reading about parrots in the wild in the >> U.S. I certainly wish I lived in area where they would come to my [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] >> > Buy a big bag girl, I will send my lot over :0) I'd love it! Here I get excited if I see goldfinches and Carolina wrens and chickadees :) Some of my best budgies were 'caught' because someone left a door open.

He better produce these 'so-called' wild flocks once I'm there! I was going to mention a novel I read called "Elsewhere in the Land of Parrots". They mention Mark Bittner, the OP, and it's really a great book.

I seem to recall a certain someone who, when told there were some amazons outside, said, "yeah, that's nice" and went back to sleep for another 4 hours!

Well, you should've told me that... I'll make sure and the memo around, so all these conures, amazons, macaws, and other parrots do NOT come around so early in the morning... How dare they!

Oh >wait... and what's that flying above? Oh yeah... those darn conures again. >I think the amazon's roosting tree is about 2 blocks from my house.... >yeah... I'm being evil. :) My sister has gotten most of her birds from her back yard. The most recent one is a red rumped. She has had a couple of 'tiels also. I had a Finches? conure once that had escaped from a pet store. I returned it to them. It got loose after a moult and before they could clip it's wings. I've seen pairs of black hoodeds over in downtown St. Pete on the wires and have seen flocks of quakers in Tampa, St. Pete and down in Sarasota. I saw a loose Macaw once on top of a open shopping center but haven't seen one since. And I am not being mean. >Parrots are Loud >Parrots are Messy >Parrots are Expensive >Parrots are Needy >Parrots are Wild Animals Hmm, hard to acronymize. > =-Marco-= > Parrots are Loud [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > Parrots are NOT easy to keep > Parrots can be a pain in the a.s! Reminds me on humans. --Ivica >=-Marco-= >Parrots are Loud [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] >Parrots are NOT easy to keep >Parrots can be a pain in the a.s! Living with parrots is emotional rather than logical. Logically I know everthing on Marco's list is true but I don't care. The conure sitting on my shoulder at the momemt doesn't care either. -- Lou Boyd > >=-Marco-= > >Parrots are Loud [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > -- > Lou Boyd Most of us don't Lou, that's why even when many of us have had a bird or two (or more) for years we will still come home with yet another. Makes a good warning to new people "thinking" about jumping in though. If even one of them takes a second look and decides now, rather than after they buy one, that birds are not for them, that is a very good thing. Signature"Everything in excess!

I take no offense at being called a nutcase for keeping birds. Guilty as charged. The person who buys a cockatoo because it matches the the drapes will soon find that what the bird matches is the pile of rags laying on the floor beneath the windows. It wouldn't suprise me to one day see a law requiring a similar warning label to be attached to each cage or perch where any bird is being offered for sale. The trouble is that anyone who has the mindset to buy a bird would just ignore it.

Just give it some time. The lawyers will need something else to sue, and then we will have the warning label on birds <G> >The trouble is that anyone who has the mindset to > buy a bird would just ignore it.
