LI Parrot Expo

Today I went to the parrot show, saw some cute parrots & got my cockatiel Gilbee some toys & a packet of Avicakes to try. I think my parakeet Ban (aka Chicken Nuggets) will end up liking them more since they're like his seed sticks.I wanted to get Ban a swing for his cage, but couldn't find one. He didn'ty get any toys, since he only plays with his "balls" (several plastic cage-like balls that are strung together). They other toys in his cage (rings, a preening toy, a bead toy with a bell & a chewy toy) he just ignores. XD Gilbee got some little woven balls, a preening toy that looks like a simplistic octopus, & another rainbow toy (wooden beads with lil wooden diamond shaped disks between the beads) for when he chews it up. I got a "beware of attack cockatiel" sign. If they had a parakeet one, I'd have gotten that too. XD I also got a couple of free wooden perches when we walked in. They're more parrot sized, but I'm sure I can find a use for them. :D We also visited "Parrots of the World," the shop where I got Ban. While I'll have had him for 10 years in February, counting backwards, he'll be 10 next month, which is old for a parakeet. :D This is a parakeet who refused to eat anything unless it was seeds. XD Even Gilbee is picky, although, he'll eat a bit of pretzel & popcorn rice cakes. XD (My previous cockatiel, Mel, loved apples & broccoli. :D)
