Petey McSweet is our Sun Conure.
Born in 1999, "he" is 9 years old. We don't really know
Petey's gender, as we've never had "him" DNA'd. We do know that
he was once part of a bonded pair who was turned over to a bird store,
who sold the two birds separately. We met Petey after his buddy
had already been sold. Since Petey was choosy about his friends
(a kinda cranky, nippy fellow), and I was one of the few people he
didn't bite, he came home with us.
Mango is our
Jenday Conure, born in sometime in 2004 or 2005. We
don't really know Mango's gender, as we've never had "him"
DNA'd, although the people who gave him to us were told by the rescue
organization they got him from that he is a male. Someday, maybe
we'll find out for sure :-). Mango was brought here as a friend for
Petey, who was lonely being the only small bird in the house. It has
worked out well, and they are close friends. Mango also loves my
husband to distraction, although he despises me. This feisty, noisy
little guy has added spice and fun to our lives, and contentment to
Petey's. You can see photos of Mango, HERE.
