OUGAT(AFRICAN GREY)

I saw OUGAT in a pet shop when he was 4 weeks.... and I fell in love!! he was adorable!! still is...Hatched approx 18 Sept 2002

I brought in home, his first journey by car a 7 hour drive. He still has no problems to travel.I spoon fed him with a vitamin enriched hand feeding mixture.

At almost 5 months he started to whistle and at 6 months he started to talk. Now at 1 jr 3 mths he says about 50 words with sentences of up to 5 words.He definitely understands with meaning....speaks in 2 languages. English and Afrikaans.

He does not like new things at first...checks it out... but after a while its ok. Only likes me, but not aggresive to others...


JE'TAIME ( BLACK WING JARDINE)

Je'taime... means I LOVE YOU, hatched approx 5 Nov 2003.

I bought him from the  breeder at 3 weeks, easy to feed, wanted to start feeding himself at 6 weeks, can climb up and down a small ladder at 8 weeks,Eats a lot and all the time if I dont stop him, very tame and lovable!!!!Eats anything I give him.

Weight at almost 8 weeks 240g and 22 cm, weight at 9 weeks 250g and 23 cm... he seems to be picking up very well!! almost unbelievable. A very healthy and lively bird.

ALBINO RINGNECK(ESKIMO)

ESKIMO hatched about 12 Oct 2003, been hand fed since early, very tame, goes to anyone, I hand fed her until 13 weeks, then she decided she big enough to eat herself.

She adapts well with the birds and also well with humans.. happy both ways.



JENDAYA CONURE(GEELKOPPIE)

We lost her after she was terrified of a bad storm we had, she was afraid of the thunder.
