Hello all
I have just joined your forum and thought I should pop in and say hello. I am Cheryl from the UK and have five parrots.
Bobby Blueheaded Pionus
Oscar Maxi Pionus
Susie Yellow-Thighed Caique
Chico Orange Wing Amazon
Pip Grey Cockatiel
I thought it would be really interesting to hear views and discuss birds with others from Australia and hope to get to know some of you in time.

Hello Cheryl, Love the photos of your birds they are georgeous. Welcome to the forum. Hope you enjoy it! Where in the UK are you. I have a niece in Wales. Bev Hi Bev Glad you liked the photos and thanks for the welcome. I am in Staffordshire UK - also known as the West Midlands, right in the middle! I have a sister who lives in Wales - barmouth. I have been looking for an Australian forum for a while as I think you guys down under have similar ideas when it comes to bird keeping, so I will find this forum an interesting place. |

Is there a thread that will tell me what birds you all have? All mine are indoors and pets, four cages and a parrot gym in the lounge  I am usually stuck in a corner somewhere I can find space but I wouldn't have it any other way! As well as the birds, I have a hubby Mark, three grown up sons (two still at home) and one grandson just seven months old. Mustn't forget a pussycat too! Well a kitten really of four months. Our elderly ginger tom passed away in April. |

There are heaps of pics etc. It will take a long time to see this site... took me forever too. I have 2 red rump grassparrots sitting on eggs, 10 budgies 2 are hand raised and 2 are about to become parents again, 2 bourke parrots, 4 scarlet chested parrots, a Jap Quail named Darlin', a young male king parrot, 6 canaries named Lucky, Sunny, Copper, Ringo, Horus, Cinn, Awnan my Pale Headed Rosella, Boofie our Rainbow lorikeet and Dougal my very cheeky Hand raised Northern Rosella. I also have 4 chooks named Henny penny, Goosey Lucy, Finger lickin' and Prissy, A Forest Scorpion, Lots of Goldfish and Angel's and Australian Rainbowfish. Um I think that's all of them  I have a partner who is just as messy as the rest, Shane. |

hi there cheryll i live in north queensland our temperature at the moment is cool for us true northerners 22deg cup in nq we kee[p our birds a bit differently to some of our southern mates up here we dont have to heat nest boxes and most people have outside aviaries when we go on hols down to the far southern places we care often amazed at how diffent their conditions are/ oz being a pretty big place our birdkeeping varies greatly
you will meet a lot of madkeen bird keepers on this site its a disease not a hobby regards loved your pics have only seen caiques up close and personal just once at a big breeders place near tamworth they are lovelybirds
regards jenn
