Hi Muriel
Just to let you know Toby is doing really well, very tame and seems to adore
me, this time i appear to be his favourite which is great. Frodo is
still grumpy with me....
He is growing so well, has put some weight on and filled out. He is
out of the cage from 5pm each evening (with frodo) until 9.00pm and now
their settled with the routine they are really enjoying the freedom.
A couple of pics for you, once again a lovelly bird, exactly as expected.
I just want to thank you and your husband for raising him he's a credit to
both of you.
Hope you like the pics
regards
Stewart Shillito

Hello Muriel,
Just a quick note to thank you for everything.
' Bo' has settled down brilliantly, sleeping from 20.00 until 8.o'clock the
following morning also eating us out of house and home. My grandchildren
love him. The bird has taken to one child in particular, and was reluctant to
leave her hand. Once again Muriel, thanks very much and I will certainly
recommend you to any person requiring a parrot.
Kindest
regards,
Tony
Fordham.
************************************* From: Ann, Mick & Laura Grapes 21.08.05 (A/Grey) Hello Muriel and Keith, Just thought I'd give you an up date on Jasper's progress, he has settled down into his new cage really well,and is eating and drinking lots! He has nearly demolished a treat bar,so I've taken it out as he seemed to like it better than his nut mix etc. We let him settle in his new home on Friday,and he was playing with all his toys,he didn;t venture too far off his top perch,but was brave when we were out of the room. Today we got him out for a stretch of his wings etc., and he loved it, we all handle him and he is freely getting on all of our hands now, and he doesn't bite!!! We are very grateful to you for all your help etc., and thanks for letting us visit him when you were rearing him, i expect you still have your hands full rearing the next batch! I will send you photo's via the Internet (when I get Laura to show me!) as I've not done it before, anyway once again many thanks, we are so pleased with him words can't say! With Best Wishes, Ann, Mick and Laura. From: Mark D'Ardenne 27.01.06 (Senegal) > > Well its no more than you and Keith deserve! All your parrots are amazing > and so well looked after.

Hi Muriel,
Hope everything is ok for you and all your
parrots. Kia has settled in very well and is truly a brilliant little parrot
with his own cheeky personality. He and Rio are getting on really well and
love sitting with one another preening and cuddling up. They haven't had any
more scruffs and everything is fine. They both are still very lovely and tame
and as well as Rio getting lots of cuddles from Kia we also get to cuddle up
with him on the sofa and give him a tickle behind the ears. He is
eating well and is also enjoying the new food although i am still mixing in
the food you provided but just reducing the quantity each time.
He enjoys his fruit and veg every day, and
absolutley loves grapes! He also gets treats such as millet, monkey nuts and
treat sticks which Rio also absolutley adores and probably couldn't be
without.
They are always out and about flying around,
and like you said Kia follows Rio everywhere she flys although he flys to us
aswell when Rio does and also on his own on occasions. He has also learnt to
step up, which he learnt really quickly and is very happy to come everywhere
on your shoulder or head, aswell as Rio is.
Kia has also moved into his bigger cage now and is
fine although he's only in it at night to go to bed.
He is also starting to make different noises now
rather than his baby one although it is very sweet but i think he's found his
louder voice and when Rio starts sqauking at the top of her voice, kia also
joins in!
Everybody at home is really pleased with him, and
we all love his inquisitive and lively behaviour, Rio seems very pleased
to have a little play mate which is great and they both are very loving
towards all of us.
I would like to thankyou very much once again for
raising such a brilliant parrot and if im ever after any more beautiful babys
to join the flock i will definatley come to you.
Thanks again.
Best Wishes
Susan, Rio and Kia.

Im so pleased Chico is okay and settling in. I must admit copious tears
have been shed! I miss him so very much. However, I am so pleased that I
brought him to you because I cannot think of two more lovely people to care
for him. Your devotion and love for your birds shines through.I know he
will be happy and enjoy his life with you.
I will stay in touch with you if that is okay as I would like to know how
Chico is getting along, and Im especially looking forward to him finding Mrs
Chico!
Once again, thank you so much for your kindness and help.

Hello Muriel and Keith,
Just thought we would drop you a line and let you
know how things are going.
He has spells where he favours either me or
Tracey, during the week was Traceys time, but over this weekend seems to be
favouring me again, to such an extent that whilst watching the rugby with me,
he got bored, tucked his beak into his wing feathers and went to sleep.
I registered with the avian vets in Sudbury
on Friday and booked an appointment for yesterday morning with the specialist
avian vet. He was very impressed with Barney, both in his condition and
with how tame he is, the vet said that you were to be commended, but we knew
that anyway!
Thanks
Mike, Tracey & Barney
********************************* From Paula Turner 05.03.07 (Timneh) Oh Muriel, he is absolutely amazing.... everything I wanted and more... we all adore him, I cannot believe how wonderful he is.
You have done an excellent job with him, he is so easy going and has just
slotted straight into the house.
It all started in the car... he let me know twice that he wanted to come out
for a nosey, So I trusted him and got him out, he was fascinated by the
cars and lights and rain drops and wind screen wipers, he was the perfect
angel.
When we got him home the girls and my mum were waiting for us, so they
all had a hold (again he was unfazed and actually seemed very amused).
So we popped him in his cage and he found his way around and played with each
toy and threw a bit of seed around... and gave me a few heart attacks with his
lack of grace at the top of the cage.
He was out again last night and popped in to the bath room to see the girls in
the bath.
had his cuddles on the sofa, back in his cage for 8pm, he had quite
a bit of seed and a good few drinks of water... ignored his fruit!! we dimmed
the lights at 8.30.
He saw the cats and the dog through the cage and was curious but not scared.
All in bed for 9pm... a long day.
This morning I found him right at the top of his cage, asleep at the top of
his bungy, he flew for the first time this morning...seems to have taken a
liking to little gracie and kept flying on to her head... much to her amusment.
He flew to the table for breakfast with the kids and took great pleasure in
throwing their colouring pencils onto the floor one by one!!! the kids were
creased over laughing... and he was more than happy to please the crowd!!
he had his first shower in the bath room this morning and seemed to really
love that and he is back in his cage drying off.
WOW what a lovely little chap he is... cannot thank you enough.
A very happy Paula and Family.

We are absolutely thrilled with her and
can't thank you enough for such a beautiful baby bird. She is just
gorgeous and as her name suggests a little Kraka! We will keep you
informed on how she goes and her antics. She has so far met Chester the
Jardine as some of the others were settling for sleep and covered for the
night. We cover them usually as I can be up late either on the pc or the
back plays up so I am about and that way it not disturb them at all.
If the dog starts to dream a few of them all quietly then call him by name
from under their covers to settle him back down, so expect in time Kraka
likely to be doing the same! She is just adorable, lovely, amazing and
whatever words can think of yourselves along these lines to save me trying to
think of them and rambling even more!
