Meet Cosmo!

March 17th, 2011
Meet Cosmo!

Today Hughie traveled quite a way to collect the new AGPC re-home, Cosmo.  

He is 2 years old and DNA sexed as male, Cosmo’s owner is sadly ill and is unable to look after him.  

Hughie had a long chat and a cuppa with him and then brought the very chirpy Cosmo back, so far Cosmo has spoken a little and when he got home Hughie offered him some veggies which he tucked straight into a bit of red pepper, baby corn on the cob and green beans.

When I came home from work I went straight over to speak to Cosmo and was greeted with a growl!!  Only to be expected after living with only a male so we may have a little work to do. Although I got this growl Cosmo accepted food from my hand and the more I spoke to him the more relaxed he became.

Obviously not one to shy away, Cosmo tucked right in to his chop/mash mix for his tea

This certainly brought him to life and he began swinging around and bashing his toys! He’s been out for a good fly about and we are sure he will be settled in no time at all.  

Here’s a few more pictures

Lots more news and photos on Cosmo to follow

 


Max Has A New Forever Home.

Max Has A New Forever Home.

Well i picked Max up last Sunday (13th) and he,s really settling in well. He went onto Marks arm after being in his new cage for an hour. He seems to love me, as he regurgitates for me most times i talk to him, i do try and distract Max from doing this.

Well today we made a huge step i put 6 pellets into Max’s seed dish, when i looked 30 minutes later they had gone! Happy days.


Max The Senegal

Max The Senegal

Well I picked Max up at Midday today and he is settling in well.

He is a Senegal Parrot aged approximately 7 years and believed Male, and was hand reared. He is quite a friendly little man and has already been on my hands and shoulder.

Max has lived with dogs and is friendly with most people although like most Parrots he will nip occasionally, he has never been clipped and is a very strong flier.

He does say a few words, so far I have heard “hello max” and “stop it”

He will make a lovely companion for the right person.


Syd Settling In!

Syd Settling In!

Syd has been with us now for nearly 2 weeks and is starting to chatter quite a lot, some of the things we can make out are ‘Night’ even at noon in the day, ‘What you doing?’, ‘Whats that’, ‘ Bye’.

She still not very keen on her fresh fruit and vegetables but i am working on that! i am still working on her to finish a bowl of my mash mix, she looks at it and walks off! I know it isn’t that bad as Mai our Grey loves it! She really enjoys a bit of wholemeal pasta which you can see below -

She loves her swing she came with and sits on it most of the time when she is in her cage she looks so cute on it, she loves Cashew nuts and is getting much more comfy with me stroking her and tickling her i can stroke her all over, still not to keen on stepping up but we will get there!

Here is Syd on her swing!
