Hello Natacha,
I have been following you on your Pois Blog, Just Poifect (which I recently joined). I'm the member that posted about Barb in Guelph under Soltia Aviary and waiting for her B.H. couple to nest. I'm glad to finally connect with you, as I have connected with other Ontarians on this site (Peter in Milton and Laura in Guelph). I really admire you for your houseful of Pois that you have accumulated over the years (you do need to add a Brown Head though, to settle the flock. That's all, right? Oh no, also a Jardine. That would complete the species).
I can really relate to your relationship with Piper, as I have the same with my two Lutinos and my previous Pied. I am flabbergasted by the journey that occured with Pixel and the stars that came together to reunite you too. You have made tremendous progress with her, given her past. I love your YouTube video with her getting her neck rubbed. Petey is a challenge, but I admire your perseverance with him and also your resignation that he may only be the "boy's" best friend. This risk is what initially scared me off from considering getting a larger parrot than the Lovebirds. And Lea, WOW, that would be my dream. You express my sentiments exactly when you say that if this is what I have my heart set on, I should go for it now, but I don't think I am as brave as you are. Is it true that the female Pois are moodier than the male Pois?
Which breeder did you get Lea from? In case I decide to get a second Pois. I am getting a Brown Head from Barb if Spaz and Taz conceive a male. She said she has a 24x22 HQ playtop cage she may be able to sell me. The cage is another issue that I am struggling with, as quality seems to be questionable in many of the name brand cages. Parrotdise Perch is one place I've been referred to. I prefer to purchase from a store, rather than online because I have heard horror stories about shipping damage. I have also heard about JALPets in Markham. Any suggestions?
I have been told about other breeders such Parrot Farm and Wandering Wings for Pois, in the GTA area, for possibly Capes. Have you heard of these? Any suggestions would be helpful.
Thanks,
