jack, my 3 1/2 month old severe macaw!
hes such a crazy lunatic! but hes my baby, i got him at 5 weeks old (i have 10 years of experience hand feeding parrots) hes still hand feeding and will be abundance weaned (meaning ill continue feeding him untill hes ready to stop, macaws dont typically wean fully in the wild untill a little over a year old, so he will probbaly continue to get a feeding or 2 a day untill about that time.)
'loki" is a little mauve lineolated parakeet, "he" is about 7-9 months old and was supposed to be temporary...see he was a pet sitting job, but the guy had a heart attack and no next of kin...so loki ended up staying. hes a sweet little bird and says 'hi" alot, but doesnt like to be held. i dont know his sex yet, so im planning on sending off a blood sample, getting him dna' sexed and then getting him a same sex buddy in the spring to keep him company because he doesnt like people too much.
then theres "the girls"
there not "mine" but are the whole families, we share financial responsibility and reap the rewards.
11 hens, all different breeds (except for 3 easter eggers the others are all different) who gift us with between 5-9 eggs every day (depending on the season)
we only live on 1/4 an acre so they are officially "back yard chickens" and we do not have any roos.
i also have 4 peacock cichlids and a tiger barb, and as a family we have over 50 pond fish from comets to shubbies to koi.
im hoping to add a pair of parrotlets or english budgies in the spring too.
Here are some of my pets, Spikey, Lulu and Snowflake.
Lulu has wobbly hedgehog syndrome and her back half is paralyzed.
Spikey is a big lazy boy.
And Snowflake is my newest pet, and so far she's a sweetie.
Here's all three together for a little playtime. Spikey and Snowflake are about a year old, and Lulu is probably four years old. Lulu has always been small, but she's lost weight lately as her disease has progressed.
My friend's injured woodpecker that we are taking care of this weekend. We're hoping it survives, but it's not doing well. I have a thread about it in rainbow bridge

Nice photos, everyone! LOVE the hedgehogs, and that beardie is super adorable... and sorry about the woodpecker, STL.
