I have just joined this forum. So far it is just what iam looking for. Friendly and informative.
I live in Jurien Bay, just moved here from Broome.
We have 2 Rainbow Lorys, 2 Indian Ringnecks, 6 Alexandrines, 2 Princess Parrots, 7 Teils and 2 cranky pink and greys. I finished the hand rearing of three of the Teils, what great fun that was, loved it. These three are about 5 or 6 months old now. One of them makes me shake my head everyday. She, Shorty because she kept loosing her tail feathers making her look short, talks like mad. My question is it nomal that Teils talk so quick?. One morning I said " good morning baby " and a few times during the day repeat it , that night she would mubble but you could make out she was trying to say the words. By the next night she would be saying good morning baby clear and loud. I have had to gag my husband its a worry what he may teach her. I know she is a she. So does my husband only a female could talk this much, so he says. Ops could he be right?
We have only just been bitten by the bird bug and we love nothing more than feeding our birds and sitting with a beer in the afternoons watching them. Are'nt the Princess Parrots just the most docile of birds?. Mine have been avary reared yet they will take seed from my hand and sit on my hand as I clean out the fruit bowl. Just a real joy to have.
Thank you for letting me brag about my little girl, I thought I may change her name but she says "naughty shorty" so cute.
Looking forward to visiting again.

, Welcome to the forum, look forward to hearing more about your birds, and yes, you better be carefull what you say while Shorty is around, she sounds like one very clever bird 
. My main passion is h/rearing birds, but mostly tiels as they are just great bundles of joy. I have a breeding pair of ringies & hopefully they & my princess parrots will breed this year too. I wish my blue princess that I h/reared was gentle but she turned aggressive when she hit hormones, so she had to go out to the avairy. She still hops on my shoulder but still bites me too 
I luv sitting out the back & listening to the birds as we have heaps of native birds here too. Can be a bit noisy at times but worth it. Hope to chat with you soon. Cheers Anna
