Talking welcome to the jungle...

It's been a while, but I finally found some time to post these pictures of the many birds I work with. I mentioned a long time ago in some random post that I was excited about starting a new job in the Birds Dept. of Animal Jungle, a local pet store. Well, I'm still loving it. We take very good care of all our little birds, so much so that we're in debt because we made too many vet visits. :aiwebs_01 I figured I'd share some of birds we carry, including some of our newest baby arrivals. Please be patient: there are a LOT of images. Enjoy!

Here's a quick intro to the bird dept., the smallest department at Animal Jungle.


Some toys...

More toys

Door to the Conure Room

Meet Cookie [Monster]. Cookie has quite a story behind her. Originally for sale at Animal Jungle, the 12 year old Hyacinth Macaw was stolen from us a few years ago. Two masked men (the cameras caught) shoved her in a backpack and split. A few days later Cookie was found a little ways down the road from A.J., wandering in some bushes. She was returned and now belongs to Bob, the owner of Animal Jungle. She's pretty small for a Hyacinth. She really is the queen around here: she gets her food hand-picked (she only eats orange pellets, macadamia nuts, bananas and a few other things) and is a royal pain in the ass who only likes men and a few select women. Thus is the nature of Cookie Monster.

Cookie in her cage

She wants to eat me. I swear it.

Step up?

Cookie sees something she wants

Meet Samson, the manager Tina's Moloucan (sp?) Cockatoo. He's the biggest one I've ever seen. But then again I've only seen about 3, heh.

Again...

The Baby Room...




Umbrella puff-ball babies

Pionus I think... Can't really tell. Anyone know?

Or is this the Pionus? Hm...

Big grin on baby Macaw

Military macaw is escaping

They think I'm going to feed them. I feel guilty.



Baby cockatiels always break my heart

Baby pied lovebirds

Cute lil' caiques

The Conure Room...


Corner

Poco the half moon conure. I sold him, even though I wanted to take him home

White-naped Amazons and dusky conures

More Poco


A few of the millions of little jiggling quaker babies we have

The Cockatoo Room...


I nearly stepped on this whiney little goffin

Baby blue and gold macaw

Sulfer-crested and rose-breasted cockatoo's (How much are rose breasted going for these days? Ours is $2,500... I have a feeling that's over-priced.)

The two other goffins

The African Grey Room...


The one on the far right is actually a timneh/congo hybrid. We didn't know this until a few days ago, when his upper beak became lighter and it became apparent that he wasn't just a little darker and scrawnier congo. Unfortunately we were told he was a CAG, so he was sold as CAG (he's still being weaned). The owners don't know if they still want him. :/

Two greys checking out the conure room

A few random birds...

Lady Gouldians

Parakeets

Shana's lovebird

One of the femal canaries

*whew*
Wish I could've gotten a few more of the other birds. That's all my camera could fit, really. It took a long time to make this post so I really hope you enjoyed!

...wow! That's wonderful! But I can only see up to the pionus (and they are pionus) babies...the rest didn't show up...

...but I'd love to see them...Cookie and the cockatoo are beautiful...I can't believe someone stole her and dumped her...

OMG, that is an awesome store and gorgeous birds. I could happily move in there, do they rent rooms? They are all so beautiful, I don't know where to begin, but the babies just turned me to mush!
