Guess What!!!!

[Sharon]

I've ordered a hand tamed, baby Lineolated Parakeet from a breeder in Ontario. He arrives here on May25th. I've just bought a used cage...the same as the Budgies cage for $100, which is a steal! Life is good!!!!:hmm3grin2orange: :hmm3grin2orange: :hmm3grin2orange: And before I hear any MBS comments, two cages is as far as I'm going. I'm actually downsizing tanks as well.................


I think his name will be Levi...

[chel]

Cool! I hope you post pics when you get him! Congrats :19:

[Lady Hobbs]

OH Goody. $100 for the cage is good, too. I paid quite a bit more than that 20 years ago. Anxious for pictures.

[Sharon]

After May25th, you'll be sick of pics!!!:hmm3grin2orange:

[Northernguy]

Sounds great Sharon!thumbs2:
It sounds like you really took a liking to birds as pets!

[fishlover49]

That is great, Sharon!! Can't wait to see the little cutie! :19:

[Sharon]

Yes Ray, I never would have thought it, though! I don't even mind a little mess...what harm is there to a little bird poop and a few feathers!!! :ssmile: I did buy a hand vaccum, though....:hmm3grin2orange:

Thanks Nancy!

[Wild Turkey]

Congratulations! Cant wait to see pics! I love the pics of the feathered friends, you cant hear or smell them!:hmm3grin2orange:

[Northernguy]

The mess is never that bad!lol Its worth the litle effort to have them around.I love the soft chirpping sounds they make.
That vacuum makes life easy too!

Turk I have never noticed any fowl smells from my birds!:hmm3grin2orange:

[Sharon]

No smell here either! I do replace fouled paper every morning though....WT, your tanks would smell too without maintenance!!!!:hmm3grin2orange:

[Wild Turkey]

Im kidding of course!! Im sure they only stink if you dont take care of them well, which wouldnt be common on the forum. Of course, i cant smell any of yours!:hmm3grin2orange:

I know very few people with birds but ive never seen a bird in a cage i would call adequate in a home, regardless of cleaning; in person that is. The only thing i know about keeping them is most of the cages at the petstore are too small.

I love atriums (sp?) and stuff but i will leave them outdoors for now, noisy pets are not my favorite

Did you remember to cycle your cages?? Oh, wait, that's for new aquariums.
:hmm3grin2orange:

[Crispy]

my mom has one of those lineolated parakeets and he talks better than her parrots. He rings just like the phone and I fall for it everytime. :)

[Sharon]

Thank Goodness, cages don't have to be cycled, and no testing either!:hmm3grin2orange:
Crispy, your mom's Linnie sounds like fun. I'm hoping Levi will learn some words!

[lovleeko]

Congrats Sharon!! (sorry I didn't delete my pms LOL)

Turk you are so right about tiny cages. I hate that. Little things I would barley put my budgie in marketed for african greys. It's awful. Don't know if you seen my thread but my budgies cage is giant for him. Though the little bugger probably doesn't appreciate it. LOL He thinks it is all his and is not too keen on anyone touching it. Though out of the cage he is a dream. Birds are great. And best of all their poop doesn't smell. Though birds do usually take on the smell of their pellets. which isn't unpleasant :)

And before I hear any MBS comments, two cages is as far as I'm going. I'm actually downsizing tanks as well.................

I think his name will be Levi...

That is a lovely name for him! I hope you aren't going to downsize your tanks to 0 :ssuprised: Sharon and go over to the feathered side! :shappy:

[Ellen4God]

Just don't get a mocking bird! Those things would drive you CRAZY!!

Congrats on the new bird. :] Have fun!

[Sharon]

Thanks....:ssmile:
Little Embers, I won't be downsizing tanks to 0...I'll be getting rid of the smaller Betta tanks, when the Bettas pass....I think!:ssmile:

[sharonm]

Hi Sharon! Good for you! I love birds and lost my last one a few years ago. I found a skirt for the cage that eliminated the mess from the bottom of the cage! I think I bought it from Walmart but may have got it from a store in Lebanon, NH. I am envious of you!!!

[Little Embers]

Little Embers, I won't be downsizing tanks to 0...I'll be getting rid of the smaller Betta tanks, when the Bettas pass....I think!:ssmile:

That's good to hear Sharon, not on the Bettas passing though LOL! I hope you will have them for a long time to come. Sounds like you are getting quite a full house!

[Gayle]

Funny bird thing we learned in class a few days ago........birds "poo" every 15 to 20 minutes! LOL Talk about plecos being poo factories, I think birds take the cake!

Oh Sharon you must be about to die waiting. I thought a wee was impossible waiting for my tiel.

[Sharon]

I've been keeping busy...making a play gym, an outside perch, and toys. This is going to be one spoiled little bird!!!(blush)

[lucyinthesky]

I have 3 of them. Once you get that many you'll never be able to hear the t.v. again.

[Little Embers]

Not long to go now! Are you counting down the days yet Sharon?

[Sharon]

Yes, it is funny how birds sound obnoxious and smell bad isn't it Wild TURKEY!!

Yes this was a while ago now but I stand by my point.
