I thought it was time to post some new pics of the rest of the flock :).

This is Robin, my first parrot that I got almost 22 years ago. I have never loved another animal more than him. Robin is my soulmate. He is a Red Bellied Parrot... a very cuddly one too!




This is Griffin the Ruppell's Parrot below, and his best friend Raven the Bronze Winged Pionus Parrot above. This is what keeps my hands full besides the Budgies. These two boys are trouble! :D







Although Raven is twice the size of Griffin, you can see the boys are best friends... an odd couple for sure!

Aww such sweet pictures. And haha they do look guilty in the first picture, especially Raven! I love the angles you captured, especially the second to last of Griffin hanging. And Robin looks so sweet! Amazing you've had him so long! You must be very closely bonded! :)

EDIT: I meant I especially liked the angle in the 2nd picture of the last post of Griffin hanging :giggle:

Thanks Katie. It's amazing to me when I think about just how long I've had him. Yes, Robin and I are very closely bonded :). I can do literally anything with him (touching or cuddling), touch him anywhere at any time, and he either craves it, or at worst is a good sport. That is very rare for a parrot regarding touching! There's no way I could do that with Raven and Griffin, or any other bird I've ever had.

Thanks Star, I love that pic too. Their faces are too cute! It's even more adorable in person, but it's so hard to get a video of them doing it, although they do it quite often. Sometimes one will tap the other with their beak then lower their head to say "please preen me!" Then sometimes they will preen each other simultaneously which is adorable too. Raven also feeds Griffin. That is not so cute. Especially when they're messy about it!

Today (March 8) is Griffin's 3rd birthday :clown::). He is a mature male Ruppell's Parrot in full adult color.

This morning, his bff Raven invited Griffin to breakfast at his house... then Raven started feeding him (yuck, Griffin can eat just fine on his own lol) :(. Then Raven started preening him. Griffin sure is lucky to have such a good friend!


Look at Griffin's face, LOL




Today also marks one of the FIRST times ever where Griffin has felt comfortable with me to step up without having to have a seed first! He usually will bite unless I have a seed. He is a little more on the wild side than my other parrots. We have come a long way with trust and bonding, but as anyone knows that has been through it, it does take a consistent long time.



Ps.... You can visit this thread http://talkbudgies.com/budgie-pictures/386289-its-someones-birthday.html to see Mink's birthday yesterday! :)

Happy, Happy Hatchday, Griffin!



It looks as though you and your BFF, Raven, have been enjoying a wonderful celebration of your Happy Day!

Peachy sends his best wishes and wants you to know he thinks you are very fortunate to have a Mom who celebrates your hatchday.
Peachy is pretty upset that his Mom didn't even mention to anyone that he turned 5 on March 1st. :eek:

Thank you so much for the birthday wishes Deborah and Star :).

Deb, Griffin knows I'm making it up to them for forgetting almost all my bird's birthdays last year... along with my mom's and Don's, and other various special dates of my close friends. :laughing: I had so much going on I could not remember lol. I still do, but am making sure I remember everyone's special day :).

Happy belated birthday Peachy :D! From Me, Robin, Griffin, Raven, Mink, and Chip
