new to the forum
« on: September 13, 2006, 10:40:17 am »
I live in Daphne AL. and am the head slave to five dogs ranging from 1 cattledog, 2 Border Collies, 1 lab and a GSD and I'm also the guardian of five parrots, all of which will probably outlive me. Odd combination don't you agree? I had a chance to look over all the different groups you have here, what a great job whoever created this forum!! :D

Melissa, you'd asked what kind of birds I have..well actually, I think it's more like, what kind of birds have ME?
There's a Greater Patagonian Conure, a Congo African Grey, a Quaker, a Senegal and a Cockatiel. The grey and the Senegal are both handicapped, but they don't know it..they get around as well as the other birds with no troubles.
They all take turns bathing in the dogs waterbowl everyday, much to the dogs displeasure..b ut they deal with it or get bit on the nose by one of the bathing beauties.

HEY!!!!!  **me jumping up and down!!!  Welcome over!  So glad you made it.  And I saw you found the SADO group too!   You've already met most of my crew.  You just didn't meet the cockatiel, lovebird, goats, chickens, and the cats.   ::)   ;D  I LOVE parrots!  I'm so jealous.  One day I will have one but it will probably be several years.  I just don't have very much time for them right now.  Wonder why?

Hello and welcome.  You certainly have quite the furry feathery family!  I love african greys and would love to have one someday.

My name is Chris, and I am owned by Keiko, a husky/shep mix, Gunther, a great dane, Nigel and Posey, two rat terriers, and Pasta, a cockatiel.
