well after getting rid of all my birds on the advice of our family doctor as he claimed i was allergic to them ive now got Frankie (Blue Fronted amazon) not long after i was told i needed to get rid of my birds the same doctor retired early ??????

anyway after spending time with friends birds (feathered kind) and being fine i decided to take the plunge as i really missed having a bird in the house.

bought Frankie 6 weeks ago a parent reared baby Blue front a bit fiesty when he first arrived but 6 weeks later hes loving tickles and cuddles and running the house his way

Frankie is gorgeous! What a shame you had to get rid of all your birds.

I grew up with a sulphur-crested cockatoo and she was a real character. Birds do make great pets.

He is a real beauty. I've always wanted an African grey. Shame about your other birds. Just goes to show doctors don't always get it right

I loved the greys, but if im honest they were a lot moodier than this Amazon.

greys tend to sulk a lot if they dont get their own way but this amazon just moves on it might be a 1 of type of thing but its defiantely a lot more responsive (AT THE MOMENT LOL)
