Bird 49















Bird 49
Gender: suspect Male
Birth date: Unknown (from older group)
Preferred Partner: Gimpy (Bird 40)
Passed Away: Late August 2007

This is Bird 49. He hangs around with bird 40 the majority of the time, but I have never seen them mate.

Bird 49 has the second most developed cere of all our birds along with Grey (Bird 50) (take a peek at Bird 37's). He also may have a vision problem or even blindness in his left eye.

Bird 49 is friendly and fearless towards me. The birds have been loose in the home cage room for months now and only Bird 49 will confidently approach me when I have food in my hand. The rest will follow his lead, but are very nervous and hop back at the slightest movement or noise.
