Hi all, I am a newbee to this forum, but not to birds... I have a 19 yr. Congo African grey~ Magnum that I raised from a fluffball. Also in the flock is a 17 yr Senegal ~squeakers a baby voilet fischers lovebird~mojo, and two budgies ~meceo and roxy. The little guys are my kids pets and the africans are my guys. I worked at a breeding/ retail facility for 6 yrs./was a caretaker for a lovebird/parrotlet breeder for about 10. I also had many breeding pairs over the years, but really had a hard time finding good homes for the babies, so I quit that. I am excited to chat w/ others about these fascinating feathered friends, as I have been out of the loop a bit while raising the skin kids!
