You own 5 birds? Everyone on this board seems to have so many birds! I feel like just owning Patience and Kermit is going to keep me too busy. I want to take them out of their cages all day and so far I am spoiling them rotten. I can see how you want to just keep getting more. I am very intrigued by African Greys. My friend has two and they are so animated and talkative.

I was from Santa Cruz (27 years), so close by. Our summers were so chilly and foggy though, not like San Jose. Here the weather at 5,000' is just about perfect, lots of sun, not too hot or too cold, no frost, year round gardening, and yes, tropical fruits! We have a huge mango tree, papaya, guava, loquat, orange, lime, and loads of flowers.
Three of our birds are re-homes, all are tame except the Amazon who was never handled or out of her cage for many years, on a terrible diet. She is a very fearful bird but is feeling more and more comfortable and now will eat out of my hand.
B.C. is beautiful! Enjoy your new birds. Two is a great number and they'll get lots of attention.
