I was wondering if there are any other parrot-owners out there. I love to connect with people who own birds-- when the topic of pets comes up it is most often about dogs or cats. I have three parrots-- a Quaker named Kiwi, a Maximillian Pionus named Mango, and a Meyers named Kenya. Kiwi is 2 1/2 years old and Kenya and Mango are about 1 1/2. I do not know what I would do without them. They are hysterically funny and each have a distinct personality. They have gotten me through some very rough times by making me laugh or helping me relax when I play with them or cuddle with them. I looooove my birds.
