Well because the weather has been strange this year my african greys have decided to breed late in the season. I have 3 beautiful eggs and they should hatch within the next 26-28 days:D:D:DSo if any of you have some nice names im open to any ideas :D:D:D

:yesyes: that's great Nicky. What will you do with them when they hatch? Keep them or find new homes?

oh wow! parrots are very smart! do you let your roam about your home?
did you have to clip their wings?
the closest Ive had to a parrot was a male and a female budgie
I would let them out of their cage and the female was notorious for bomb diving my cat!
she liked to sit on me but she would bite me if i touched her!
i had to separate them because she was too feisty for the poor male!

I used to breed budgerigars. I also had 2 cockateils who used to fly free in the house. They talked and got into to all sorts of mischief. They'd snuggle in by my collar to watch TV at night. It's amazing how much company birds can be. Has the third egg hatched yet?
