Like I mentioned in my previous posts, caring for parrots is a LOT of work. I have to wipe down his cage daily, reline the cage bottom everyday with newspapers, do a deep clean of the cage once a month, prepare his meals twice a day (fresh fruit and veggies) and provide at least 4 hours of play time with him. Not to mention toys. Oh my goodness, how quickly he goes through his toys - demolishes them or gets bored of them. And bird toys are not cheap!! I get them from the Parrot Rescue Centre online store (they are a santuary that looks after parrots that can't be rehomed due to behavioural problems etc so most of the money they make from the toys, goes into caring for the parrots) and also MyParrotShop.com (they are quite pricey). And fruit and veggies aren't cheap either. Audi is partial to pomegranites and passionfruits - and considering they aren't in season, it all adds up. Went shopping for pomegranites the other day. $5.60 each!! What a spoilt birdy. My boyfriend complains that the bird gets fed better than him. It's true.
But he's my little baby and worth all the effort. Some of the antics he does cracks us up.
When he's out he want to be on someone. He likes to perch on our shoulders as it makes him feel like the top dog. And he likes to rest his toys against our heads whilst chewing chewing on them.
"What cha looking at?"
He just looks so gorgeous here
He loves looking out the window
"Roar"
"Yep. I think I'll just perch on these books. Because I can"
Here he is enjoying his fruit and veggie kabob.
Just chilling and chewing on my bag
Audi and I :)
