If you would like to have these Parrot Rules hanging in your house, so that visitors know what to expect when they enter your house, then please donate £1 to the fund. I will send you the original which will print off up to A4 size, it is as you see it complete with the frame, so would look good in the plain glass clip frame type thingies! Too technical for me. lol. Thanks to Toria for creating the rules and letting me use them x
Different Avatars are now available to buy at a minimum donation of 50p. All the avatars have been created from scratch by me, so if there is any particular sort of avatar you would like, or maybe one with your birds name on, just let me know and I’ll see what I can do. I am still creating cards as well, for any occasion, but having trouble getting the right type of card to print it on, so I have to try and sort out something that will be cost effective for you to buy.
I have said in the last two newsletters that it is a costly business rescuing birds and I make no apologies for saying it again, petrol to collect them, food to feed them, vet bills etc etc. So, I’m going to issue a challenge to everybody that is a member of this site.
It’s the High Five Fund! Everytime you get a 5p piece, put it in a jar, save it up and on 21st August, which is six months from the date of this newsletter, we will have a count up and see how much money you have saved and then you can donate the amount to the Fund.
So, search out those 5p pieces, down the side of the sofa, in the kitchen drawer, wherever you might see one, pick it up and pop it in the High Five Fund! If you are joining me in this challenge, here is an avatar for you to use if you want.
Its Only Took 9 Months!!!
Tonight I asked Dil to give Sammi a manicure. when he was all done I thought Id be brave and give him a little stroke, now remember he usually only tolerates my tickles from in his cage!!
Eventually I got him to step up, he didn’t bite me or anything!
Here is the result…..
I’m so pleased that all my patients has paid off and he finally accepts me!! The fun will start now I can handle him properly.
After leaving all Lady’s new Christmas toys on the back of the sofa for a few weeks, she has accepted most of them, and has been busy chewing away!
Most of her toys were willow, foraging, and shredding toys, as she accepts these the quickest.
I purchased 3 Nutcase foraging toys, so the birds could have one each, and I shredded different coloured paper and stuffed it into the Nutcase, and then showed them that I had added some treats.
So……………….. Lady decided she was going to have a go!!!!
I left the Nutcase in Lady’s cage while I was at work, and by the time I came home, the Nutcase was empty 
Result I thought…………
Unfortunately, it seems that Lady didn’t quite grasp the concept of pulling out the shredded paper to get to the treats, because all 3 treats were in the pile of shredded paper on the cage floor!!!!!
ALL THAT HARD WORK FOR NOTHING, which would explain why she hasn’t touched the Nutcase since!!! Every time I think about it, I can’t help but chuckle, and in fairness, I wouldn’t do all that hard work if didn’t think there was anything at the end of it either!!
Here are some pics
Eventually, she get her treats………. After I found them out of the pile, the silly billy
Hi all,
Well sorry it has been a while since i updated but had loads of serious stuff going on regarding my parents who are both really poorly.
As a couple of people know Bobbie unfortunately died about a month after we got her, she was absolutely fine and had been fed the same as Lulu and Georgie, i came in from the kitchen after just seeing her sitting on her perch and when i came back a couple of minutes later noticed she was laying on the floor of the cage, she was dead but had only just died, she did have a slight sort of noisy breathing which Paula and ourselves had noticed, we wrapped her up and buried her in the garden, very worried as to how Georgie would react as they had been together in the same cage for 20 years!!!
Surprisingly Georgie has been a totally different bird since, she has come right out of her shell, she is more noisy, whistling and climbing around her cage like she never did before with Bobbie, she used to eat and regurgitate for Bobbie and just sit there on the perch not really doing much at all, just the occasional “YA WARM” and tap dripping noise, she is sooooooo vocal now and today said a different word for the first time “your Goooooorgeous”
She does funnily enough seem much happier without Bobbie!!! she is in her cage right next to Lulu so she has still had company, she is doing great and Lulu the little sod takes her off to a tee!!!
Hope that updates you all sorry it has been soooo long.
Les
