I used to own 4 parrots back in the day. Two very violent ones (one specie like 'merlin' above) and two other beautifuuuuuuul ones. The pretty ones had tails as long as 8-10 inches or maybe more. Very graceful. The violent ones would attack anything that came close to their cage.
Always alerted us when anyone was approaching our stairs. Noisy during the day, but calm at night. Always pulled a Houdini in their escape stunts. You could come out to see wiregauze bent or broken to facilitate their escape. Scoffeild of prison break would have marvelled at such art.

I miss them though it been so many years. One died naturally, one did a jail break and never returned, the meanest did a jail break and got bitten on the neck by a monstrous rat accross the next street. The prettiest also died in the same way, rat bite to the neck in the same street.

I have five beautiful African grey talking parrots. They are so entertaining & fun to be with, they are about 3 months old. Four of them are available for sale. I'm based in Abuja.

I once had a parrot named suzzi. She calls me Niggaaaaaa! And screams Jesus! When she's hungry, she only eats uncooked groundnuts. I left it with my aunt on my vacation only to be told she committed suicide. I was devastated.

I was surprised to login after a long while to see so much comments on this thread. I thought it was long dead.
I went through all the comments and i've been laughing ever since.
I still haven't gathered liver to free merlin yet but i really want to. I'll probably get an African grey later later. Parrots are cool to have around even when they don't talk. Mine dips her head into her bowl of water and uses her claws to style d hair. Lol. I'm very serious. I'll snap it the next time she does it.
I saw so many lovely parrots up there. Nice.

jenyna:

Yea....i read that its not adviceable to put 2 parrots of different beak size in d same cage

younghartz:


Really? Bt katherine and simon are different beak size

Bt I felt love when I saw something...
Sometime ago simon felt sick due to my careless,he got soak in engine oil,he became ugly,his color faded off,lookin dull at all time,no strength to eat bt I noticed something,6:45am every morning katherine helps simon to clean his feathers...jeeez! I couldn't believe it,she takes food from d plate and put it inside simon's mouth with her beak..this stuff happened for two weeks....
I really love d way simon and katherine blend with each other....

younghartz:


Do merlin make crazy noise at night?
Am nt sure tho cus simon never did that...(Senegal whatever breed)
But katherine(round neck) do that most times..maybe she has nightmare I guess...lol bt if I check on her I'd see rat in da cage.
Unfortunately my mom sis (who is so religious) came over to spend d night yesterday and I was up till 1am browsing then katherine made that funny sound for so long. so,I had to go check on her and funny enough I saw my mom sis praying and cast d evil spirit inside my bird.....lol
Then she turned around and said "kill this ur bird cus its satanic" birds don't make sound at night...

beautycrush24:

Thanks babe I plan getting more cages.
Haba....why did u stuff dem up like dat? I'm complaining merlin's cage is too small for her and u're puttin 4 big parrots in d same cage size

younghartz:


Your merlin looks like my simon
If you could watch,simon was outside d house resting on my hand

Mrdrix:



How old was simon when you got it, and how long has it been with you? How were you able to domesticate it? The one I have is just too wild, and not friendly at all, although he is dead now, but I never held it or even touched it once.

younghartz:


Ha! Bros enh dis ur question na die bt I'll ansa dem all

I never knew d age of simon cus d abokii sef no knw.

Simon was with me for 3yrs.

He didn't grow at all bt d feather became brighter and d tail became longer.

When I bought simon I placed him in my veranda I was using rod to carry it after den I started using hand glove...then d bond stated...katherine is d opposite of simon(so aggressive)

Mrdrix:


Ok, Thanks.

adamooye:

Mrdrix:

adamooye:
