Let me Introduce You to my Parrot - Kramer
I've always loved birds - especially ones that can talk :) Several years ago, I asked my husband for an African Gray Parrot, but because they cost in the neighborhood of $1,200 - $1,600, we simply did not have the extra to spend. My husband,in his wisdom said, "If you can find one for $100 you can have one!"
Well, if you know me, I had to find a creative way to make that happen (creative thinking & prayer of course ;) Well, it wasn't long before someone gave me my first African Gray! He was such a joy to our entire family!
While researching the prices of these particular parrots, I found out that it cost just as much for a breeding pair of birds, as it did for a single hand fed baby bird. So.... as you can guess, I decided to start breeding these beautiful birds.
You can find a "proven" (have already proven to be successful parents) pair of breeding birds for approx. $1,400 - $1,600, and they average approx. 2-3 eggs per clutch. Needless to say, they have been a wonderful learning experience for my children, great new additions to many families, and a nice source of extra income.
In comes Kramer......
Kramer is a single male bird that I purchased from a breeder. She had a phone call from a single guy who was in a hurry to move & needed to find a new home for his bird - Kramer.
I fell in love with him & made him a part of our family. He has a wonderful vocabulary - although he needed to "unlearn" some of the "colorful" words that he had learned while living with the partying bachelor :)
He screams like little girls outside playing on a play ground - which he must have heard from his cage inside the house. He loves to scream like a frightened lady - saying "get him off - get him -off". That must have been when he went over to greet an unsuspecting female visitor :) Kramer loves my kids & likes to "call" them for super - especially Daniel, our oldest.
I'll post some pictures soon - until then, I'll also let Kramer speak for himself now & then.
Happy days to you!
