I currently have a pet cockatiel named Leroy. Leroy is a girl.. so the name doesn't really suit and that's why her nickname is Peeps.





When I buy a house I'll have a few breeding pairs and hand raise the babies. My parents has heaps of different birds up until a few years ago when they sold them all.

We have a male Eclectus Parrot - Eclectus Parrot - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - Chopper (named after Chopper Reid who had no ears!)

They're gorgeous birds that tend to mimic & imitate - Chopper 'coughs' when I cough, 'sneezes' when I sneeze, and will happily say hello & good bye when you arrive home or leave to go somewhere. He also knows all of our names, he imitates ambulance & police sirens, he repeats the answering machine message & calls out to the dog & cat (not a smart move!)

Here's a couple of pictures, these were taken when he was a bit younger - he's a year old now and the older they get, the more orange the beak. Think I need to do another photoshoot with him soon! The second photo doesn't quite show it but the colours under their wings are superb.

one psycho cockatiel

[Troy711]

Man, I'd love an eclectus.. they are awesome!

[tonza]

Got 2 budgies. bloth blue ones. Ones called Wally and the other is Bozo, because we couldnt find a name, turned out to be a girl, so silly name really haha

[Caity05]

Man, I'd love an eclectus.. they are awesome!

They are fantastic, he constantly has us laughing at the things he comes out with. We need to blunt his claws a bit though, I've got some awesome battle scars on my arms from him haha! But they're lots of fun, just need to take care of them properly. They eat fresh fruit - Chopper eats better than I do!
Breakfast consists of two bowls of fresh fruit plus snacks during the day - his favourites are dragonfruit & pomegranate. He's also partial to banana & almonds, but dislikes melon (unless you scoop out the seeds of rockmelon then he's your best friend for life).

Never give one avocado though - 100% fatal to them. I think that goes for all birds?

[Troy711]

Yep, avocado is a definite no no for birds. Same with raw potato and onion.
