My African Grey Flock

If my birds were caracters in Torbjørn Egners "when the robbers came to Cardamom town", this is who they fit to be casted as

Mario - Tobias,
bc he leaves the birdroom when Matcho try to create drama, he does not have Matchos back when Matcho tries to be a jerk. (expect him to grow too old for that BS when finally matures, 12yo now😄

Matcho - Casper, robber with a bit of attitude

Jacko & Pippin - Jesper & Jonathan,
bc they like and follow the Cardamome Town law when Matcho does not try be a jerk

Nitra -Auntie Sofie
bc she gets pi**ed when Matcho tries to be a jerk and bully Jacko and Pippin at the border of J&P's area. Matcho does not think its fun to get Nitra chasing him, so he yields. And then sje stops wanting to whoop Matchos butt😄😄

When the Robbers Came to Cardamom Town (Norwegian: Folk og røvere i Kardemomme by) is a 1955 Norwegian children's book written and illustrated by Thorbjørn Egner, which tells the story of Kardemomme by (Cardamom Town). It is considered one of the most important works in Norwegian children's litera...

When birds do gymnastics...

Matcho, who else😄😄

12/07/2024

Matcho NO! Thats my toes....

He will still bite my toes if he got a chanse. But I know him and so if hes on the floor I have to keep an eye on him😄

And some claim its unnatural to be homosexual...
Jacko Pippin prove them wrong🙂

They are still partners and are always sitting next to eachother or doing things together when not interacting with the other greys.
They have claimed part of the birdroom as their area. Even matcho respects that now, but thats a different story. There they have a place to create a "nest". The do all the things bonded straight birds do, except mate this way or that. So obviously they have never laid any eggs. They are bonded male birds that are very happy together. in an environment and country these birds should not be in if mankind didnt exploit nature.
Love is Love❤

Please help if you can❤

This is where we're at now and it's all thanks to your generous support. The whole structure is done which was a major part and now we have to finish it.
We still need to work on :
-plumbing
-tiles
-widows and screens
-electric and solar system
-heating
I'm trying to get more time from my landlord until we can finish the first floor at least, which will allow us to move there. I'm hoping to get a couple more months , but I really cannot do it without more financial support. We need you today more then ever, please donate and share as much as you can ...

Pippin(left) and Jacko are still partners and best friends. We've been watching wintersports on tv 😉

22/11/2023

Nope, still not talking on camera.
Mario, 13 and almost a grown up🥰

Please help if you can🙂

Phase one of the construction will be done in almost 10 days or maybe less which is 40% of the project but we still have a lot to do such as walls, plumbing, electric, windows (very large windows ), screens, tiling, heating and more ...
14 years of hard work, 14 years of helping birds in need along with other animals, 14 years helping pet birds and their guardians, lots of TV interviews and countless personal one on one guidance and support raising awareness on animal welfare and fighting the illegal trade in wildlife, 14 years of struggle to build a solid foundation from zero and to get to where we are now.
All this hard work is finally paying off, and a very big part of our success goes to our amazing supporters who have always been our backbone. I know times are tough all over the world and this is why we need you today more then ever to survive and keep going.
Our project is halfway done but we cannot continue or finish it without your help, please don't leave us stuck in the middle, help us finish our sanctuary, the only parrot sanctuary in Lebanon!

A dear friend gave me two rocks. I cried a little placing them. Thank you❤

Summertime😊
Heavy rain expected later so better enjoy the sun while it lasts. July weather has been pretty bad so far, but we needed the rain to keep nature, farms and gardens lush🙂
Zarah and Nitra first in the clip, Jacko & Pippin share a suncage and so do Mario and Matcho by the pond. Asta the dog got a dried fish from her sons owners today so she will be busy gnawing on natures toothbrush😉
Chickens are not safe roaming free so they needed a suncage too. Mums, aunts and dad are behind a fence with roof. Norwegian jærhøns will jump/fly over fences and destroy my garden if let to roam free this time of year.

And no, none of the greys mimic the sound of chickens or the rooster😉

01/07/2023

Icy water on a sunny day🥰
Zarah found her new bath acceptable. Pebbles on the bottom so she wont slip and make it not so deep😊

21/06/2023

Gustav was put to rest on a bed of fuchsia flowers at sunset, under an appletree. With his good eye facing Dolly💔❤

21/06/2023

My heart is broken, Gustav died today💔
He was all fine this morning, told them l had to go do some shopping but would be back soon. 3hours later l found him dead in his nightcage 😭
I will bury him next to Dolly when rain and tears stop💕

04/06/2023

Lovely summerday, all but Matcho done eating pommegranate, easiest clean up ever expected😄

16/05/2023

Dolly's sweet cherry tree is in bloom now💔❤

13/05/2023

Zarah is almost ready for bed, but like a toddler she refuse to go to bed while the sun is still up😉
So as hours of daylight change so does my greys change their sleeping pattern. Its hard blocking out light in summer so they have longer naps in daytime and shorter nights than in winter.
Esc tonight so guess its time to hear Norways song for the first time, have fun all ecs fans😄

12/05/2023

Matcho, the weird one😂

26/04/2023

I only ate one... and yes, l sometimes try take a bath in Astas waterbowl when its nice and icycold (slave says to tell you bowl is clean too)
Zarah,13 and stubborn af😂

04/04/2023

First time outside in 2023😊
Nitra has no problem splitting up Mario and Matcho to get to where she wants.
She makes Matcho behave towards Jacko and Pippin, and Gustav makes her stop being a jerk towards Mario and Matcho. Zarah think all but Nitra are as****es this spring so she avoid all the Boys🥴

8 years ago this "oh my, that new thing is scary"- Mario moved into my life at 4,5 years old. A childhood dream about having an African Grey parrot finally came true❤

As the nerdy person l am l knew from the start Mario needed a birdfriend or partner to have a good life as a captive bird. But l needed to bond as a friend with Mario first. He was such a "chicken" to new toys and new foods😄
Now its only rain when outside in summer he freaks out about, not sure that will ever change🙃
(Partner Matcho is 2 years younger but he also freaks out about butterflies, not only rain🥴🙈)

14/01/2023

Sunday, biathlon on tv. Jacko and Pippin not interested😄
Edit, its Saturday😄
