What is your "list"?

ROZ!! How on Earth did you not get a noise complaint?

Well it's only fair....I chose our current trio (pre-Husband) - Husband would like a Blue & Gold Macaw (I'm ok with that).

I would add a Cape parrot, as Merlin once had a Cape gf when I worked with parrots, and they're more his size.

So that would be Merlin's Dream Weaver parrot then

Merlin was my dream parrot from the get go!

One person across the alley did complain; but like I said, he was a cranky ol' curmudgeon. He'd yell at kids playing in the alley. My birds weren't "screamers". The toos I encouraged to scream mid day when most people (except Mr. Kranky Pants) were at work so they didn't do a lot of am/pm screaming. The conure didn't really scream a lot. The CAG . . . I guess people thought I had a lot of malfunctioning appliances.

I don't mind noise, but in general we don't tolerate a lot of noise from any of our animals. My dogs don't sit and just bark their fool heads off either - the chihuahua is not yappy, the four other large dogs don't bark unless there's something amiss.

I think why some people might have noise issues is they try to keep the animal quiet all the time which is not achievable. We understand vocalizing is normal and we let them go off at max volume every day for limited periods; but enough is enough, and then we shush them. They're pretty receptive to that. They learn they can scream their heads off for a while and then be done.

My house is actually pretty quiet considering all the animals. . . except for the CAGs that mimic most of the day.
Oh yeah - and also the cocktoo horse. He goes off randomly which gets really annoying.

No more birds here....but if I had a chance to get a Mynah I might change my mind. I have always liked them.

a female eclectus...they are beautiful, other than that i have every thing i want

dusty

A whiteface lutino cockatiel, a blackmasked or blue peachfaced lovebird, a Moluccan cockatoo and a Keel Billed Toucan.

An african grey, either timeh or congo.

Galah

B&G
Maybe another hybrid, like a camelot.
Hyacinth.


And throw in a Appaloosa Horse, Paint, Quarter Horse,
Dales Pony, and an Arabian, and Im set.

Maybe..

I love small birds! But Im ready for the big stuff(:
Last night I had a dream that my baby macaw turned into a lovebird.

A blue throated macaw would be amazing also...hm.
I need a lot of land so I can build an aviary.

Mine keeps changing...

A Poi is pretty high up on my list as of NOW.

Dusty,

OK, if we're doing horses, let's add a Fresian to mine. I could work up a musical kür in costume carrying the Hyancinth Macaw....

There are so many horses I want oh man.
And that would be so cool!

My parents bought me a quarter horse, and a thoroughbred.

I used to just walk up to the quarter horse, jump on, no saddle, no reins and just have him walk around. He was the calmest horse I've ever met.

My parents decided that having horses wasn't really a good investment. We went across the country for Christmas one year, and on Christmas day they told me they sold both horses.

Not even a chance to say good bye.

But I swear, I'll buy another horse one day.

Thats so sad): Im sorry! I love horses. Its like they can read your mind sometimes. They are great therapy

They actually are therapy.

I'm planning on basing my career around animal therapy.

Oh man! Me too!
Horse therapy and animal training.

Okay, I give up the most beautiful bird I saw myself: Scarlet-Chested,
I give up also Tourquisine, Bourke and cute and quiet Linnie.

Second week already I'm searching Internet for making my bird room soundproof for reasonable price for that one dream bird: Amazon. I know it's crazy, but I know you'll understand me guys

What kind of amazon?
And a sound proof room sounds so cool!

I have a short list compaired to most of you lol...

Hyacinth Macaw
Military Macaw
Sun Conure
I want another Tiel too but I dont have a preference on mutation...


Oh and for the fun of horses (I used to train and breed them) Id kill for a Gypse Vanner

Oh zaza... you really have such wonderful parents..

An Amazon is still my DREAM- but I really don't think it'll happen anytime soon, if ever, due to noise concerns.

Well, as long as we're dreaming...
I'd have a separate aviary so I could have my birds AND my husband, because I love them both. <3
Or, my husband would go deaf, then I could have the birds in the house! Now There's an idea!

Anyway, moving on...

I'm falling in love with conures. Their wacky personalities just keep me wanting more, and I do.
I also love my Quacker (), but I just found out that I think they may be illegal in colorado. shhh! So I don't know that I'd go in that direction.
The definite "next" on my list is an Ekkie. Prefer a male, not sure which sub species at this point.
I'm also intrigued by the Amazons. (I wonder why?)
If I could live my dream, I'd breed conures (not sure which ones at this point), and have a M&F Ekkie, a GCC (or three), and a large macaw (the scarlet is my fav) as pets.

I'd also have a (small) barn full of Rocky Mountain Horses. (Google them.)

Unfortunately, few people ever get to live their dream, but I'm amazingly happy living the life I am.

Oh yeah, ZaZa, regarding the horse situation? I wasn't there, and thus am in no position to pass judgement. Nevertheless, I don't agree with the way your parents handled it. I'm sorry.
