Bitten by the bird

[headbanger_jib]

I never before had thought of keeping birds, right up until 2 years ago, my wife declared that we keep a few small birds.

That's how it all began, I built my first cage to keep some budgies, and within a few weeks I built another cage to keep a few more budgies.

After a few months our cage that was kept on the terrace was pillaged by some thief, and we didn't have any birds at all.

So we went ahead and got some grills and gates fabricated, to restrict unauthorised access.

And we went ahead and got our first set of conures. Sun conures (aratinga solstitialis) and crimson bellied conures (pyrhurra perlata) and some cockatiels.

Since the above birds were young the small cage was ok right up until last year, when we went ahead and built a small outdoor aviary.


Here are a few videos and pictures

And after my tryst for the last two years I have now gone and taken a plunge to get big birds to hand rear.



Here's two young African grey parrot (psittacus erithacus).

Thank you

I did want to get a gala cockatoo, but I am still new to birds, and need a bit more learning to do.

Also my place is very small, may be in future when I have a bigger house and I can give a bigger aviary that could house a macaw, the green wing scarlet is I would like to have

If I was ever to get a macaw it would have to be a Camalot Macaw. Yes a hybrid, but looks like a giant Sun Conure.
