New Member...Chip and Charlie!!!

[chip6607]

Hi, my name is Allison and I have two conures a green cheek and a maroon bellied. The green cheek is Charlie and my maroon bellied is Chip. Chip has a split bottom beak from when he was little and got in another bird's cage, but he eats fine. Well let me introduce them to you

Chip when I first got him,,,he was 9 months old

Then for the rest of the crew...we have a blue and gold macaw(Ally Belle), an African Grey(Hope), a cockatiel(PeeWee), a lovebird(Stinker), and our newest addition is a Goffins Gockatoo(Spanky). We also have two dogs; a bulldog(Bubba Bear) and an Australian Shepard/Dachshund mix(Freckles). And we have a cat(Sophie)

I have also had horses. My gelding Boo Boo was 6 and he passed away of colic. My mare Kiss was 27 and we had to put her down due to arthritis and old age

Hi Allison - welcome to the board, you'll fit right in with all those lovely pets of yours!

Can't wait to see and hear more about them ALL We love pictures here so don't hold back

All of my birds are in my signature and I also have 2 female guinea pigs, tropical fish and a horse which I've put on loan called Rudolf who is a 17h 2 liver chestnut gelding, ex race horse. I had my old boy Drifter, an arab cross section C, put to sleep 2 years ago at the age of 31 due to old age and arthritus too.

Enjoy the board and again - welcome

That is awesome everyone....I can't wait to check out the rest of the board and see everyone elses animals

[george]

Laurie, I sincerly hope you have a picture of your mini pony hiding in your house somewhere!!

[kiwi]

Yeah fess up Laurie!! We want pics of those horses big and small

[laurie]

well I can dig up one of the mini & I think possibly a couple the others..our house flooded & we lost the majority of my pictures EVEN MY WEDDING pictures which devistates me..but I do believe I may be able to dig out a few, I dunno whether to scan them in or take a picture of the picture LOL!

[george]

Oh no! When was that, during the hurricane? My mum had some old battered photos and she got them restored by a photo restoring guy (not the technical term!!). Maybe you could get yours done too?

[laurie]

no these were pictures I had in my house in oregon, all my wedding pictures & baby pictures, the only reason I have chantells baby pictures is because mom had them at her house! the ones at my house were total losses! I am telling ya what, I had none of them online & if I had I would have been rolling in gorgeous pictures of chantell riding & training the horses..I MAY be able to dig up a few, bad part is I had such lovely ones of Dakota my Fox Trotter..he was so elegant, a BAY ... I knew mom had a few of my pictures or copies , but all the horse pictures I had she didnt want.. I wish she would have, then I would have all of them...it might take some digging around & maybe I can make some calls to my momma & ask her to be so gracious as to dig out all her photos & double check for some horsey pics she will think I ahve lost my mind if I tell her they are for a forum board she is computer illiterate, so she dont understand my addiction LOL!

[george]

Aww, that's a bit poo! Sorry you've lost all your photo's. You never realise how much they mean until they're gone do you? My mum doesn't understand the computer either. My sister tried to help her set up a Facebook account months ago and she hasn't checked it since! Hehe! She doesn't even know how to turn the computer on. Seriously!

[debra]

Welcome to our little family! We're a crazy bunch who is just crazy about birds and all animals! Pics!! We need more pics!!

[Liz]

Welcome Allison!

My goodness, you don't know, but there are a LOT of people with green cheeks on the boards right now! I only have budgies, but I really like GCCs and you are all making me very jealous...

Anyway, conures distract me... Your whole flock sounds fantastic, can't wait to see some pictures! ;D
