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.  Samson on Shana's shoulder  Again...    Samson in Cookie's cage. He rung her toy bell once and pissed her off royally.  Cookie/Samson show-down 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!

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!
