Peanut the Red Bellied Parrot

It's so great to have a bird section here, as my number one passion are the feathered friends :)

I use to work at a privately owned exotic bird store and I was in charge of handfeeding. I hand fed birds from lovebirds to macaws and cockatoos :)

I hand fed this one little Red Bellied Parrot and he was sure a little meanie. His younger brother was sweet and playful, but this little guy wanted nothing to do with people. A woman did buy him while he was still hand feeding, but decided to switch her bird to a "nicer" senegal.

Ever since then, I worked with him to get him a little more used to being handled, and before you knew it, we were both in love! It's a true Cinderella story, as I would have never thought of bringing him home. It must have been fate :)

We have been inseperable since and he's just my little cuddlebug. He says over 25 different words, mostly in phrases, so he love to chatter to himself all day long. He's a little over a year old now, and it's almost his first year anniversary of him being home :) (I bought him home October 2007 when he was a little over 3 months)

Here he is! (In corresponding order to age :))

Here he is at his first day home. He's a little over 3 months old :)
