I was at the pet shop in Great Eastern Mall yesterday. They are having reno sales. The tame lories were at 30% off. They were very tame, climbing all over my shoulder and back. I had hard time getting them out of my body.
Very tempting to buy one.

I didn't ask for the price. $2.5K is damn expensive. Lories are very noisy bird. I had one long time ago (red and blue) and it drowned in a pail while taking bath. I bought it at $80 then.

Is a blue rumped.

My blue rumped allows me to touch him now.

Just short whistle only. He likes to walk around the house and climbs on the sofa.

Sorry to hear about your losses.

My blue rumped doesn't allow me to touch today. He has been shouting each I wanna touch him. Very frustrating.

Sad to hear your blue rumped died. I didn't know those spray was so destructive. I better keep my blue rumped upstair if these people come and spray.

My blue rumped has been singing today.

Just bought the Hanging Parrot (Serindit) this morning. The Blue Rumped showed aggression towards the new comer.

Added on July 20, 2008, 5:09 pmI bought a very tame adult male blue rumped today. He gave me a shock of my life when he flew out of my house via back door and landed on my opposite house fence which has many cats. Phew..I got there on time to get him out otherwise I have to say goodbye to my $150.

The old one kept on whistling when he saw the new blue rump. When the new one flew, the old one followed. But damn..... after the new one settled down, he attacked both the Serindit and the old Blue Rump. I had to keep them in separate cages. I thought I could have one happy family in one cage.

I went to Macau Petshop, Tasik Selatan this morning. There are so many new parrots, 3 species of Amazon and 2 Macaws. Macaws are selling at $7.5K and $8K.

Yup..those were Amazon. Price range from $3K to 5K depending on species.

Eclectus is amongst the most quietest big parrot. Just called a breeder, he quoted me $2K for a baby Eclectus. Tot of getting a big bird. Tanaus are very boring la.

I went to KL Bird Park this morning. Took some pics.

I got a female rump this noon.

Yes I have 3 now. My wife and my daughter are quite fond of parrots, so I add a female to my collection. Hope they will mate.
The female is very fierce but she doesn't bite if caught hold of her. She is not eating any seeds, only water chest nuts at the moment.



You see how fierce and angry she is.



I can now hand feed the 1st rump. I can also touch and hold him now.
I am planning to get an Amazon.

What had happened to your parrot?
