WOW!! I take care of a Bluejay at work!! His name is flopper and he fell out of his nest during a storm, and these kids picked him up and took him home, but he got sick so they took him to the vet who informed them that it was illeagal to keep him without a permit...so they gave him to The Outdoor Campus, and there he lives today, i think nearly 7 years old. he says a couple bad words, and can mimic the telephone...all in all he is an intelligent bird, and one of my favorites.
I love all birds. They are very wise, so mysterious in ways. My favorite, though, has to be a cockatiel. A MALE cockatiel, since I recently lost my little female to egg-binding, I have a male, Sparky, and he talks, sings, and likes to listen to Elton John! He takes after Mom!
I like cacatiels, Parikeets, LoveBirds, some Parrots, and canarys! I might get 2parikeets or 2lovebirds or one cacatiel. I do not witch breed to get, what do you guys think?
