Too's & T's ...

Since when do Tarantulas get posted first...
After all this is a Fourm for us "Avians" right!!
After thoughtful consideration "myself" Bentley, and my female companion "Isabelle", have forgiven our caregiver known as Just-passn-thru for her oversight in this matter.
She will now post pictures of us, mind you that was an oversight on her part.
Best Regards,
Bentley and Isabelle

Your Major Mitchells are beautiful - my father was one of the 1st people in Australia to breed them in captivity - over 50yrs ago.

Thank you
They are a beautiful spieces.
Bentley is in a molt he's looking kinda scruffy right now.
I have always been fascinated with old worlds. I have a Bonded pair of Australian Grasskeets as well.

Absolutely gorgeous!!


Though I can imagine the noise level when they want to be heard or noticed. Some 40 years ago we had a goffin too for a short time and at 5 am every single day, he let out this raunchy scream/call that i swear woke up the neighborhood. Thankfully it was only the once a day otherwise he was quiet as a mouse. Yep stinking to the smaller birds though they can be worse at times as proven by bailey when he wants his way.

Oh yes! My dear Bentley
the Sentry/Alarmist
He has different loud ear wrenching
calls that he uses for specific scenarios.
But mostly it's the morning and evening time calls .
Normal bird stuff
One example!

The "Beaky stinker" has a particularly annoying one he starts-up with the dogs, going into a full blown pack howling contest, that he must be the loudest sounding screeching car brakes. He gets my attention by doing this horrendous/embarrassing noise,
has me darting around like a crazy person, having to close all doors and windows to buffer the racket.
At that point returning to the aforementioned outbursts, I have to rise above the chaos screaming...
THAT'S IT ENOUGH STOP.!!!
In an instant all is quite once again.
Pretty sure my neighbors assume that I'm a glutton for punishment.

That's amazing, you must have been a very young child.

I'm in my late 60s now, and my mum is in her early 90's
We both still have over 50 birds each - down on our younger days.
These days I go over and help her some of the time with hers, but she still lives (mostly) independently.
Good genes go a long way - for people and birds alike.

My bad, or you weren't even born yet?
I don't want to make you any older or younger. Not sure about that.
Either way that's wonderful conversation efforts you're father contributed to the Spieces.

In primary school.
No one was surprised that the 3rd word I said (after mum and dad) was birdy.

What a wonderful childhood experience

I was happy though many considered me an odd child - being the one who removed the spiders from the classrooms - while others screamed.
Funnily - my daughter became the spider remover for the block of flats she lived in a while back - it's definately in the genes.

They keep us active that's for sure and definitely you have incredible genes as well.
