| RED BELLY PARROT NEW BEGINNINGS AVIARY Top-Quality ~ Lovingly Raised |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Baby was our first Red Belly. We purchased him over 4 years ago from Gay Noeth at 'On African Wings' in Saskatchewan. Baby became very attached to my husband, Jim, and decided that Jim was his girlfriend and often displayed his love for Jim through various birdie 'activities'. Jim would promptly respond by putting him back on to his cage play area. Baby is a lot of fun to watch and loves to play with toys and ring bells. He also talks a fair bit although most of the time it is when he is pouting so he mumbles under his little birdie breath with his back to us. It is very funny. |

| Recently we acquired a real girlfriend for him. Her name is Kiwi. When first introduced Baby was extremely inquisitive and wanted to know who this pretty little thing was. She on the other hand was a little apprehensive of the moves he was making on her...and his original 'pick up line'..."What ya doin?"...did not impress her. |

After only a few weeks we were able to put them together in a neutral cage and they seemed to do well. Kiwi had her side of the cage and Baby had his...although he did like to cross the line onto her side on occasion. They were never aggressive towards each other so we kept them together. After one month I can happily say that they are now extremely bonded. Jim and I watched in fascination as Baby preened Kiwi all over her head and neck and she just turned into mush!!! |

| Oh did I tell you that Kiwi is a beautiful 9 year old female that has a very extensive vocabulary, well we think it is. She says "love you, food, did you have a good day, hi kiwi, good morning, good night, pretty bird, mommy, what are you doing, hey Ki, here kitty, come here, did you poop, she will knock with her beak and say come in, she also has a few favorite whistles, and she LOVES to dance to music. Oh she also calls the dog...Rudy and has learnt new words in the past few months as well. She speaks extremely clearly and is an absolute sweetheart. The lady that we got her from took wonderful care of her and certainly loved this adorable girl. We are truly blessed to have her. |

| I don’t know if they will ever breed...I have heard from a few breeders that it is very uncommon for a hand raised Red Belly male to breed but you never know. I did get a nest box for them anyways...you know...just in case. |
