Celebirdy for the month of June 2020
@NightOwls Casey
1. How did you acquire your bird?
A friend of my mother is a dog groomer. One of her clients decided to retire to Mexico and gave her (the groomer) Casey. We were worried he wouldn't get a lot of attention at her house - and our Quaker died a few months previous - so we asked to have him.
2. What is your bird's name, species, age and sex?
Casey; Blue-Crowned Conure; 27 years; Male
3. Does your bird do any special tricks?
Nothing on command. He does like to dance to music.
4. What are some of your bird's favorite foods?
Sunflower seeds, peanuts, apples, carrots, dried fruits, toast, pellets
5. What is the funniest thing your bird has done?
THE funniest? I'll probably remember after I submit this.
Something that always gives me a chuckle is when he inspects a hold-able item. He will pick it up, lift it high, lower it, lift it high, lower it, etc. Reminds me of someone lifting weights.
6. How has your bird enriched your life?
Variety, joy, entertainment, and potential for hearing loss.
7. What would you tell people who are considering this species?
It is a species I would not mind owning again.
8. What is the activity and noise level of your bird?
Not insanely active or loud. Can be very loud when someone is on the phone, moving around, etc.
9. What are some of your bird's quirks?
Likes to hang from the side of his cage by just his beak. Likes to dance. Very hand shy but will get close to face. Does not bath often. Likes to scratch his head on toys. ...
10. If your bird talks, what is the most surprising word or sentence it has said?
When we got him, we were told he knew hello and hola.
One day I had the song 'Blackbird' stuck in my head and was singing it. After a few rounds, Casey chimed in with his attempt at blackbird.
11. What is your bird’s favorite treat?
Peanuts -_-
