used to have an avary ofr budgies and sell some of the babies off to the pet shop. Used to keep the good ones to ourselves. We had one bird for years his name was les, very dociale bird who was hand reared, didn't clip his wings cos he was to fat to fly and he used to imitate our chihuahua, by making the crying noise he'd make if he didn't get enough attention.
My auntie and uncle used to have a lorikeet that had fallen out of a nest for years, it had some serious issues but was a classic bird. Used to chase the mop round the floor when they were cleaning, this bird did not have feathers well it did when it was young but then they all fell out.
It was fed ice cream with apricot topping if it was good and ate at the table.
It would attack my auntie because it was female and saw her as takng my uncles attention away.
