Hey y'all, I'm Kali, myself, my husband Ryan and my two little angels moved over here about six months ago from Tulsa, OK. We are here for another six months with my husbands work, and just thought it would be nice to chat to other parrot owners. I have two children, Toby, whos eight, and Jade, whos two. We have found the UK a bit of a culture shock, but we're doing alright now!My momma currently has care of my birds, three umbrella cockatoos,Mitch, Passhie (was al pachino origionally) and Flower (named by Toby when he was so young), Blue, our blue and gold macaw, and Cyclops, our sun conure. My mom runs an independant rescue, and has since before I was born, so the house was always full of birds. All ours, one way or another, were rescue birds, though Im ashamed to say we bought Flower six years ago when we went into a local petmart and he was in a cage in there. It broke our hearts seeing him, and we against everything we believed in, we knew we could give him a better home than he would end up going to. Unfortunately, the States think less than your pet stores and sell parrots quite freely, everywhere. We were heartbroken to leave them, but we couldn't split up our family, and we knew they would be fine with my momma. Even so, we still cant wait to get back to see them!
