Pickles and Pepper
In June of 2010 we 'rehomed' a pair of African Greys; one male, one female.
Below is Pickles, the male with the bands on his ankle. 
Here is Pepper, the female.
The pair, from left to right, Pickles and Pepper.
Making Babies
The protective parents.
And a view into the nesting box.
- July 20th, 2010 - Found first egg in the nest today.
We figure it was laid between the 18th and the 20th.
- July 24th, 2010 - There is a second egg in the nest this morning.
- July 27th, 2010 - third egg laid last night.
- July 31st, 2010 - after candling the eggs again, after 10 plus days no sign of growth.
The three, unfertilized eggs. (7/31/10)
Candling them one last time to make sure.
The eggs after 11, plus, days. Definitely not fertilized.
Outside of the Cage
So on the 13th of August we figured out that toast is a great treat to tempt the birds out of the cage. First was Pepper, then Pickles came out.
Here is Pickles before coming out himself.
Now they are both out; so guess how they got back in.
They got back in, one by one in my hands, soon after the above picture they flew off in two different directions and I had to get each one individually with heavy gloves on. But no one was harmed.
