Our Pet African Grey Mai Enjoying The Sunshine!
Well as the weather warmed up today me and the children spent most of the day in the garden tidying it up planting plants and vegetable seeds into the garden i thought it only fair to bring Mai our African grey out to join us.
Mai in the garden
She use to chew her wing feathers off as she was bullied by her room mate Ruby when she lived with James who brought her when she was just 14 weeks old, once we got her back and split her from Ruby she seemed a lot happier and went from having no flight feathers to now having grown about 4 feathers on each side, so although she has been growing them back she is unable to fly, which is why I take her out in the garden. ( Please note: We wouldn’t advise you to take your parrot out into the garden, Mai is not fully flighted and as she was breed by myself she has trust in me, if she was able to fly I wouldn’t even think about taking her or even a partially clipped parrot into the garden, if you do so it is at your own risk as they can get spooked very easily and fly off)
Mai loves the garden and has her own Java tree to sit in by our front garden that I was planting and also loves to sit in the apple tree and watch the kids playing and running about, she also loves a run about on the grass picking up sticks I swear she thinks she is a dog!
Here are some more photos of her enjoying the garden.
And Finally
Watch out for more photos coming soon of Mai playing with our children in the garden.
