Swazi – I’m loving it!

June 20th, 2011
Swazi - I'm loving it!

It’s been a while since I did a update on Swazi well he is out of quarantine now and in with the other crazy greys of the household and boy can I say he fits in well!!

Swazi is such a funny grey, he talks non stop and says some funny stuff, he does a sort of yawn sound throughout the day and night as if he is bored, and he has a cough like a old man with a chest infection!

He has been saying, Swazi boy, Do you want it, Stop it alright, Out, Step up and a naughty word beginning with A!! He also whistles the Mc Donald’s Theme tune and also the great escape tune which he does very well.

He is not that keen on me but my oldest son can handle him really well and stroke him, Swazi is clipped but still tries to fly now and then but within time his wings will grow back fine I am sure.

He should be moving to his forever home very soon and will make someone a great pet for many years to come.


Say Hello To Cookie!

Say Hello To Cookie!

Another one of the rescues from the weekend is Cookie the African grey.

Cookie is 4 years old and was rehomed as his old owner couldn’t spend as much time with him as what he craved due to having to work long hours, so she made the heart breaking choice to re home him so he could have the attention he loves.

Cookie has started to pluck and has plucked most of his cheast feathers and a few from the top of his wings out too, he still has the down feathers left so i am sure in time he will grow these back.

Cookie loves to be out and say’s “It’s all right!” quite a lot! He is also a good flyer.

As it was so sunny the other day i popped him into a carrier and took him out in the garden to get a bit of sunshine on his feathers which he really enjoyed!

Here is Cookie!


Meet Connie – In A Bit Of A State!

Meet Connie - In A Bit Of A State!

Connie was another African Grey we Rescued at the weekend from a good friend of ours who brought her to get her out of the nightmare she was living in! She was stuck in the corner of a filthy room with a blanket over the cage on a crap diet which seemed to consist of just monkey nuts and little or no interaction with any body!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so he paid to get her out of there and then passed her on to me to find her a loving forever home.

After all she has been through she is quite gentle considering, she likes her head being tickled and being spoken too.

As it was such a nice day yesterday i thought i would pop Connie into a travel cage as well as some of the other rescues to give them some sun on there backs and wind on there feathers. So they were dotted around the garden sunning themselves.

Here is Connie!


Here Is Basil – Another Timneh!

Here Is Basil - Another Timneh!

Timneh overload at the moment we collected another Timneh called Basil at the weekend.

Basil has come from a lovely lady that due to her illness has had to rehome him she has had him for 22 years so this was such a very hard thing to do for her but she knows it had to be done and was happy to find us and is looking forward to following Basil progress in his new home.

Basil has settled in really well, he mainly hides under his paper and laughs from under it, makes Zombie noises at night from under the paper which make us laugh loads and is kind of freaky!

He has been very vocal and whistles lots one of the more talkative Timnehs i have met for sure!

Here is a photo of Basil hiding under his paper, it’s so cute!


Billy The Timneh!

Billy The Timneh!

After a very wet busy sunday collecting another rescue i would like you all to meet Billy!

Billy is around 20-25 years old and has lived his his current owner for about the last 8 years and he doesn’t feel he was giving Billy the time and attention he craved so contacted us for help to re home him with someone that could give this this.

He has stunning colouring to him with sort of a brown ting to his feathers and he is in really great condtion.

We was lucky enough to match Billy to a lovely lady who is on our forum who already owns a female Timneh so she has taken him on and after a month or so once he has settled she is going to slowly let them meet and fingers crossed they become best of friends :)

Once we collected Billy he was Whistling away in his travel cage seemed very happy and not at all worried

I will now hand this blog over to Karen, Billys forever home fingers crossed they get on ok.
