Any other parrot owners? - Page 3

I haven't had any issues between them. They spend much of their day chittering and talking to each other (and screaming at each other). Once the catch latch let loose on my budgie's cage, I came home to find him sitting -in- the macaw cage on the perch next to my macaw. He was small enough to fit through the bars.

That is sweet

Do they all have the same diet?

Well... not really, as they all take different sized pelleted diet, but I add in a little mixed seed sometimes as well fresh greens, apples, carrot, a little corn... etc. (which is really easy since other pets eat the same stuff). I try to keep it as varied as possible, but they always have their favorites. For treats, my budgie especially likes it when it is millet day. The macaw likes those little fruit flavored mineral blocks - though he would go through them by the dozens if I let him.

My cousin-in-law (my cousin's husband) had a small parrot who would ONLY tolerate him and no one else. When I stayed with them for a holiday, his parrot wasn't happy at all. Then when my cousin had their first baby, he had to get rid of it 'cos she felt it would be unhealthy for the kid.

I have a cockatiel and a quaker and they are both wonderful.

My sister use to have a Myner bird that had us in stitches everytime we went round. Their talking is very clear but i think they stop learning after a certain age.
