Is this a fact or not?
Someone who professes to be a bird expert told me that because Smokey is a pet and very tame, he cannot breed. Not that I am looking to have little babies straight away, we have thought about getting Smokey a girlfriend and just seeing if it happens. Have I been misinformed? If I want my own little ...

Dale, my son, has named him Zeke. Zeke is still very shy but is starting to warm to Dale. He is not as social as Charlie was or as Smokey is, so Dale sometimes gets a little disheartened with it. But he is putting in the hard work and slowly Zeke is accepting Dale and is hiding less . Dale understan...

Movie Equals Time To Practice Talking
I am laughing about this and it is kind of cute, but Smokey now has a new equation. Mum watches movie = time to practice my talking (In her face!!!) On Sunday afternoon I settled down with a good movie, a drink and some peanuts. Well of course this was Smokey's cue. He joined me. The movie started a...

I know just how you feel. As much I too love Smokey, something tells me he loves me more . He regurgitates on my right hand all the time - note never the left and that I find odd. He loves the blue ring on my right hand also. He also does it in my ears. He loves it when I wear my hair up and he will...

Thanks everyone. I am so glad that they didn't touch my little Smokey. He probably would have bitten their hands off anyway Anyway the insurance claim is underway. I haven't been able to sleep properly as I am listening for every sound. Guess it will get easier. At least no one was hurt. The thing t...

Smokey the Guard Bird
Before I explain why he is now my Guard Bird, I will briefly describe Smokey's general reaction to people. Me: he loves me of course and will play, come to me, is starting to talk (kind of) will do anything with me (almost ). My son, Dale, and my boyfriend Brett: Smokey can be a little moody with th...

Lauren, I can understand how you must have been feeling. In the estate that I live there are alot of wild birds, larakeets, cockatoos, galahs, and beautiful breeds I don't even know the names of. If a bird is on the road I always slow down when I approach for fear that it won't move out of the way i...

Our new family member
Yet to be named, he? is about 12 weeks old. He doesn't mind a pat but this could be cos he's a bit shy/afraid

I am glad other have the same problem. Smokey attacks the rings on my right hand - not the left. My right hand rings have a blue stone and the left ones are diamonds. But for some reason he loves the rings on my right hand. I sometimes wish he would play with the left hand cos at least I would still...

Hi. I have only just seen this posting and find it interesting that your bird reponds in just the way my ringneck does. However, if my partner Brett says no, Smokey backs off immediately. Is it the deeper tone of a male voice that makes him realise he means business. I need a hand to gently push him...

A sad loss
I haven't written about my son's budgie, Charlie, however, I am writing with a heart filled with much joy but tonight very much sadness as the tears flow from my eyes. Charlie has not been well for about a week and tonight at 7pm he died in my son's hand. Charlie was 4 years old with a fabulous pers...

Talking
Hi. Smokey is about 18 months old. He says the word Pretty very clearly. Anything else with pretty in it is relatively clear (pretty boy, pretty bird, where's the pretty bird) The other things he says are more of a mimic of the tone or sound of what I say to him rather than the clear actual words. I...

He rules the roost
Here are some photos of what it's like to live with Smokey. This photo is of my boyfriends laptop when you are not in the room and Smokey is roaming round. It needs to be covered up to trick him. m Under this newspaper are the tv and other remote controls as Smokey loves to chew off the buttons. He ...
