Angus The Mummy’s Boy

June 8th, 2012
Angus The Mummy's Boy

Well he’s still a mummy’s boy, but so much so that he seems to want to keep me all to himself and has begun to start flying at anyone, bird or human who comes anywhere near me.

Occasionally I have to let him come out on his own because of this – but he doesnt seem to mind that. He has enjoyed being out in the sunshine over the last few weeks and being sprayed with warm water and he’s certainly entertained the neighbours barking like a dog, doing bombs and knocking on the door. Thank heavens he didn’t use some of the other words he knows.

Here are a few photos of him


Small Update On Oscar

June 4th, 2012
Small Update On Oscar

Just a small update and a few pictures.

Oscar still hates me and I still love him to bits. I am managing to get closer to him before he lunges at me now so it’s sort of a step forward. His favourite passtime at the moment seems to be walking on the floor but that possibly because it’s Angus’s least favourite place so Oscar can escape from him down there. I have just bought an avian lamp and Oscar seemed to love sunning himself underneath it. He’s now joined Gary in the Opera singing world and they make quite a duet.


Oscar’s Update May 2012

Oscar's Update May 2012

Oscar loves Shaun. That’s really all I have to tell you !!

The 2 of them have bonded so strongly it’s lovely. He doesn’t seem to like anyone else at all – especially me but occasionally when shauns not in I have a little breakthrough. I have had one tickle through the bars which didn’t result in blood loss.

I picked him up from the floor, thinking he was Angus and he stepped up – but I spoilt it when I panicked once I realised it was Oscar and he flew off. Then he flew into the kitchen a few days ago and couldn’t find his way out, so I had to be brave and pick him up again. I got all the way into the next room before he savaged me – now that’s progress!

He’s so funny and we have a love – hate relationship. I love him, he hates me.

Here are a few photos


Angus Has Spring Fever

April 28th, 2012
Angus Has Spring Fever

Angus is most definately the ‘bad boy’ of the flock. I think he must be suffering from ‘spring fever’ because he has Moments where he loves me – he tries to feed me, drops his wings and makes his baby noises then WHAM he’s trying to bite my finger off. His talking is amazing and he seems to pick new words up daily. He chats to the others now and will answer Gary with a “woof woof” when she asks him what a doggy does. He also encourages Gary to sing by telling her “opera Gary” and when she obliges he tells her “that was beautiful”

He is still arch enemies with Oscar, but they tend to ignore each other when they are out. I had to let them out separately for a while as Angus got a bit bossy and Oscar seemed scared of him, but that seems to be better now and they can all come out together again.

Despite his bossy, bitey, naughty behaviour I love him to bits and I wouldn’t be with out him.

Here are a few pics of my handsome boy.


Top Bird Oscar!

January 26th, 2012
Top Bird Oscar!

Well Oscar is still the boss. He’s made it quite clear that he’s top of the tree and the other two have accepted it.

He loves Shaun but even I managed to get a tickle in this week – but only one, he bit me when I tried again !!

He’s getting more adventurous with the food he’s willing to try and even had a chickpea yesterday. His language is still atrocious – but you can’t help laughing when a little bundle of feathers comes out with some of the words he does, not much of it has rubbed off on the other 2 yet, but I’m sure it’s only a matter of time.

He has a lovely new cage now with much more space for his toys and perches, although he’s always letting me know he wants to come out

Here are a few photos of him.
