Most Asian men love to have birds, my dad was no exception.

We had canaries, parakeets, finch, and pigeons...

One of my favorite was a white male Canary, whom we called Daddy. He would start to sing when we whistle and when we put our hand in the cage he would jump on our finger and we can take him around the house and he would not fly away. He had many many many babies, but none were like him. One was able to sing, but never as beautiful as Daddy. He died, after 7 years that we had him.

No pictures

My parents had a cockateel called "Rowdy". It was before my time though, and I don't have a picture. Rowdy sounded like a great bird. He loved my Mum and hated my Dad with a passion - so much so that Dad couldn't get near him without being pecked to death

Say hello to Bubba - the self naming rooster. I almost hate to post pics right now, as they seem to be running out of place. My whole post on the intro thread is covered by the picture from above. Is it just this computer, or is there a board wide problem? Some of the text is doing the same thing.

Nef~ I knew you'd find this thread

I had to drop by over here since Vin has been all over pimping her board.

This is my bird. She is a Molaccun Cockatoo.

So where's my Caddy? .....and the hat! I want the Hat!

Found your hat and Caddy.

Oh wow, a purple caddy no less and a red hat, you should really stand out Vin.

man! I love it! Now get to work y'all! Bring me money! Ya'll are paying to post, right?

hey your bird has feathers, Vicki!!!

Since this thread is for the birds I said I post a couple of peacock pictures.









Kay

I can hear the rustle

Yep! She is finally letting them grow back. Of course notice it's only a head shot. Her legs are still naked! Not sure if those will ever get feathers again.

For those who don't know about my bird. When my son was born she became a plucker and plucked all her chest and leg feathers out. :o She is doing much better now and has stopped plucking.

You know it took me forever to figure what this meant

Vicki Poor bird! what will happen this time?

Arimi~ you should have asked? how do you not know pimp slang?

Hopefully she will do better. She has her own room and we aren't moving her out it.

When our son was born, we were living in San Diego in a 3 bedroom townhome. She got moved to the kitchen and our son got her room. She was not happy.

This time we are in a 5 bedroom house with plenty of room.

That sound good Vicki. It's so hard to combine animals and babies. I think it's alot the old wives tales, but there is some sybling rivalry.

Would you like to meet a bird who's feathers will never grow in? This is Diva, short for Godiva, and she can't grow feathers. She's a naked chicken. Our second, in fact.

We have someone in this area who is raising naked chickens although I haven't really checked into them yet.

How about Turkens Nefe, have you ever raised any of them? Talk about a strange bird.

We never did turkhens, but we tried quail once - they were so insane we set them free and they just took off. They made that year's chickens nutty too. We were raising them together, and it wasn't a good fit.

One of the odd but fun things was when our geese were babies, we would have them swim in the bathtub. They would plow under water, and come up so happy, and paddle around. Little geese are so sweet and cute.

I was finally able to get a passable picture of Marci's turken. They are supposed to look like a cross between and chicken and a turkey although they are a breed of chicken. They are really a crazy bird.

awww what a sweety i only have a lil blue bird:(

My bird has gotten a major attitude problem. She is finding ways to show her defiance.

I call this....

The Bird giving THE BIRD!

OMG Vicki that's so funny! I wondered how that bird would feel about the baby BTW I forgot to mail the thing. Right now we're snowed in but as soon as it clears I'll get it out.

No problem! Thanks!
