11. Describe a typical day with you at home with your birds.
Ok Ill have to shorten this maybe but here we go:
I start my days off with my female barking up a storm to get out at 7:30 on the dot every day so I uncover the Conures cage then uncover Mickeys cage . All come out to top of the cage where I give my kisses and say our good mornings. Then Me and the Conures go downstairs let dogs out and feed them . Then do the laundry ( lots of birdie drop cloths). Then we go upstairs and get some veggies and fruit cut up go back upstairs and spread out there food change the water and any messy pans. After they eat I get dressed(whole time Micky is spinning on top of cage think he knows what's coming) me and Micky go to DD drive through which he loves he loves seeing other people in interacting and the DD people get a kick out of it . Then I go home put Micky on his cage to eat and wash up and get Mugsey out and hang with him a about a hour each day I have to go to Walmart I take Mugsey with me for the trip to get him socialized a little. Then after that I bring him home and put him on his play gym. Then I get my conures and they love being on my shoulder so I let them as I am usually on AA forums. That's long enough
12. What have you learned about owning birds that you would like to share?
I have learn that even some of the smallest creatures(birds) on this planet deserve respect and a voice to protect and care for them if not in captivity then in the wild.
13. If you knew then what you know now about birds, what would you do differently?
I would not buy a bird I would look for a rehome bird to many birds are loosing there homes to no fault but the humans on this planet.
14. What other hobbies do you have?
Fishing,Boating,PC gaming,Console gaming,camping,
15. Anything else you would like to share?
I am so honored to be selected for Mayor Of The Avenue and this forum has some of the best information and best Bird owners and people who I can call friends . I would probably not be here if I did not get the help I did from here when I first got my Conures.
