AFRICAN GREY PARROTS... Where to begin ? Well I for a time had a Yellow-Crowned Amazon and a Grey which my mum inherited when grandma died. I knew those birds virtually all my life and loved them to bits. I was gutted when my mum re-homed them after I moved out, but I was expecting little boy, no way could I have ...  Read the complete review

Mack lived alongside Sprocket, a ...  Read the complete review

Parrots are very sociable creatures and like to be involved in everything that is going on around them. My parrot, Darwin (a rock pebbler), is no exception and likes to help me write my dooyoo opinions. Unfortunately, however, his typing skills are not on a par with mine (I expect the lack of thumbs has something to do with it). He ...  Read the complete review

I kept a pair of Lovebirds for 3 years & had much enjoyment out of them. However, the same feeling was not had from my partner and father due to the racket they would make early in the morning. They make a piercing squawking sound which can become irritable. In saying that, in my opinion, this disadvantage far outweighs the ...  Read the complete review

In my opinion, a parrot is not a pet. It's independent and is much more of a companion than a pet. Humans have been keeping parrots for thousands of years (including pirates), and the requirements of care for them are quite often updated or changed. Parrots can be reasonably difficult to live with. There are quite a lot of ...  Read the complete review

First: find out which breed of parrot you are looking for and be aware that some of them can be very noisy! Ok, parrots ARE fun. They really are, and they can be quite tame aswell. My friend, who has a parrot, always brings it along if she is just going down to the shop. And everybody knows her parrot and talks with it as ...  Read the complete review

I have three favorite parakeet species and they are, Rosellas, Quaker's, and my #1 favorite, the blue ringneck. I have a 16 month old blue ringneck, and she is the best pet ever! I was going to get a large parrot, but because I have a 2-year old, I went for a smaller parrot. My birds name is Asia, she is blue and has a red ...  Read the complete review

Couldn't resist this one. My daughter told me her husbands pet shop had just taken in two parrots and they were hand reared and tame at only seven week old or so, was I interested? By the time I said yes there was only one left, the other had been sold, so into the home he/she came. Tiny, green, sleek with a little pink ...  Read the complete review

African Greys are highly intelligent and have excellent abilities for mimicry. Young African greys adapt readily to new surroundings. Adult birds are less adaptable to unfamiliar environments, dietary changes, etc and may feather pick in response. African parrots, especially African greys are highly playful ...  Read the complete review

I have a six year old African Grey parrot called Spooky. He is fantastic. He is also noisy, messy and a lot of trouble. But we love him dearly. We got him from a breeder when he was 18 weeks old as a “steady” bird. He wasn’t tame but equally wasn’t frightened of humans. Gradually over time we tamed him ...  Read the complete review

We have an African Grey parrto called Dylan. We have had him for nearly 5 years old, ever since he was a baby, my mother hand reared him as well. We recently just moved here with him from South Africa and he has settled in well here. He hates both my sister and I, and the feeling is mutual. He only likes my mothers company and rarely ...  Read the complete review

He was lean, mean and glossy green: Bright black intelligent eyes with a level perceptive gaze, never flinching. He lived in a large, ornate cage in the corner of the Living Room. We christened him Cocky. He was an African Green Parrot. Cocky was a quick learner, and very soon mastered a repertoire of songs, phrases, mild swear ...  Read the complete review

We had alot of problems with her as she used to pluck her feathers, this was not due to boredom as she ...  Read the complete review

Parrots are absolutely beautiful birds, there is no other way to think. I have got one as a pet and I think it is the most imtelligent, handsome, nice animal you could ever own. I think that a lot of people are worried about Parrots because of the way they can be caught from the wild - if you do get one then make sure it is captive ...  Read the complete review
