Hi, I thought I would introduce myself as I have just joined Birdline. I have loved birds especially the larger parrots since I can remember. I have owned Budgies and when training as a vet nurse worked in vets that specailaised in birds so was lucky enough to get up close to anything from an eagle owl to a hyacinth macaw! I currently run a pet sitting business and have various birds and parrots to stay, a green winged macaw was a favourite, we have a senegal parrot in with us at the moment and soon will be having a meyer parrot and african grey. I thought this would be a good place to get advice from and I would also like to be a safe house so I can hopefully help and care for a bird that has been less fortunate.

I also have a husband and 2 kids as well as 2 dogs, and a British Giant rabbit that lives in the house. I look forward to participating in some topics on the forum as well as hopefully getting some advice from you guys.

 Hi and welcome to the forum! x

Thanks for the welcomes.  I am based in Gloucestershire between Cheltenham and Gloucester. I saw some of the gorgeous birds in birdlines care at the Three Counties show last weekend. I was fascinated by the variety and how many there were!

It looked fab from what I could see - there was that many people around it was hard to get a proper look! The parrots seemed really chilled by the whole thing and not phased at all. I was impressed by the size that space must have cost a fortune!!!
