my latest additions to the family.

well, it is way to quiet here without the doctor dog. but soon that will be cured.

meet jake and elwood, my recently sorta rescued orange wing amazons-


i bought them very cheap from a breeder who was dumping some extra birds. they are a bonded pair, but have not been bred recently.
orange wings are the sweetest of the amazons, in my experience. they are on the quiet side, and tend to be shy and reserved.

they are not the greatest talkers, like my timneh v a congo, but big talkers also make loud obnoxious noises. there is no talking bird that speaks english and makes no other noises. just not how birds work.

anyway, i was told they werent tame, but they have been pretty friendly to me. they take food out of my hand, and we chit chat in orange wing. i flirt and they flirt back.

they are fairly plucked up, tho no mutilation. i think the change in environment will work that out. they are kinda thin, too.
i feel badly for the pair of umbrella cockatoos that are still stuck there. but- no toos, no toos, no toos. they do not belong in cages.
at least they dont have to share their space w jake and elwood any more.
