God decided that seeing
the sun set across the sky once a day was not enough, so he got out
his paints and brushes and created the wonderful colours and
characters on these very gregarious parrots. They are likened to the
sun blazing across the sky when a flock takes off in flight.
I do not own a Sun Conure, he choose me and consequently I am owned
by Oregon.
I bought Oregon from a birdstore in Perth, Western Australia in fact
I had to save up all my pennies..ok cents to buy this little critter.
The day that my hubby and I went to the bird store we had no
intention on purchasing a parrot, we merely went there to see what
was available and to have a look at cages. Well Oregon was sitting on
his perch and as I was talking to one of the employees, she handed
him to me and from there on end we were inseperable. I think it had
to do someting with the fact that he pooped on me straight
away...supposedly this means good luck.
Oregon
loves to simply "hang ten"
In this
picture he is hanging off my husband's thumb by one claw, he
will happily swing like this as long as he
likes.
We originally were looking at purchasing a Rainbow Lorikeet, but
Oregon who by now was on my shoulder whispering sweet nothings into
my ear was it, changed my mind in an instant. We put down a deposit
and had to pay him off over a period of 2 weeks during which time I
went to the store and played with him for an hour or so every few
days. It was exciting bringing him home and he has firmly placed
himself as a member of the family.
