Just figured I'd share the rest of my babies. This is Chaos, my Black Cap Conure. If you haven't been able to tell yet, I'm very 'hands on' with my family...they're all I have. xoxo  This is my 12 year old Yorki/pom mix Knarly...don't let his age fool you, he acts like he's 2.  This is Bolt, my westi mix...unsure of age, but shelter said they thought maybe 2-3 years. This was shortly after I brought him home...he's a real little gent [and yes, his one ear sticks up all the time like that lol].  Hope you all enjoyed.  |

YOu have a great zoo!!! I had a Conure, but he was a monster and had to go to a person who really knew how to deal with them. He definitely had pesonality, thought!!!

Conures can be known to be very nippy or "beaky," which they leave out the websites and boards when you research before getting one. lol Chaos would NOT stop chewing on me for anything but it was rare he ever caused pain. I just had to accept that was part of him, he wants his beak on things including my fingers...but he's cut down as he's gotten older and not so obsessive. He's pretty affectionate now, but it did take a lot of work. |

Unfortunately my conure pulled out my hair in clumps, tossed my glasses across the room, and tore my clothes. He was out of control, but not untrainable. I found a conure trainer online, and gave my conure to him for retraining. Sort of a conure whisperer, I guess. I checked back with him a year later, and my conure was a very happy and very different bird, so I knew it was a good place for him.

My newest and last addition to my family, Taboo...dna sexed female, Blue Headed Pionus. Just drove up and got her today from breeder, so she's still adjusting. She needs work, but so did Chaos...nothing a little patience and time won't cure.  Not the greatest photos, but will try to get better as time goes on. After her first molt, her head [down to about the shoulders] will turn completely blue and she will loose the red specks. She is around 5 months old now. |

Very pretty!!! I love birds, but have limited my zoo to my pigs. I feed the birds outside, and have a very loyal following every winter. They even land on the screen and talk in the window at me, so I'll settle for that!!!
