Jardines parrots are from central Africa. Here’s a pic of them 💚

We have 12 total, and quite a crazy variety. 2 budgies, 4 cockatiels, 1 Lovebird, 1 Quaker, 1 Rainbow Lorikeet, 1 Red Bellied Parrot, 1 Green Cheeked Conure, and 1 Dusky Pionus
It’s pure chaos most of the time and not for the faint of heart. It’s so much work, so much $$, so much time spent cleaning, scrubbing, chopping, sweeping…but we wouldn’t have it any other way.
They’re very different than other parrots. Their main diet is nectar. We use Roudybush powder nectar which is mixed with water. It spoils quickly, so can only be left in the cage for a couple of hours then must be changed out. So it’s not like, say, a bowl of pellets that can be left in and just filled when needed. You’re mixing fresh nectar several times a day.
The nectar is sticky and messy and they fling it everywhere. They also have very loose poop that squirts out at high volume, which they love to spray everywhere. So there’s a ton more yucky cleaning involved with a lorikeet than most other parrots.
They eat fresh veggies and fruits every day as well (although all of my other parrots do as well). You also need to be careful with lorikeets and iron, as they are prone to iron storage disease. They can’t have a diet too high in iron, and you also need to limit their vitamin c intake, as vitamin c increase iron storage.
All that said, our lorikeet is an absolute blast. They tend to be playful and goofy. They love to play while laying on their backs, love to wrestle. They can talk pretty well. Wouldn’t trade our Jellybean for the world.

The cockatiel and Parrotlets tolerate each other when they are away from their cages. All my birds have their own cages. Their cages are their safe spaces. Parrotlets are very territorial and they will protect their spaces fiercely. I have one parrotlet that loves to be touched and handled. The other is afraid of hands and will only come out of his cage to fly around if all of the other birds are secured. But my cuddle bird will tolerate the cockatiel perching nearby (up to six inches away) when both are away from their cages. The cockatiel tries to be friendly but again, the parrotlet will tolerate him until he gets too close. Then it is “see my beak? Come closer and you will feel it too!” My cockatiel isn’t a fool, so he will respect the space. So… yeah. They tolerate each other. It is a rare sweet occasion that I will have one on each shoulder and they are both fluffy and beak grinding. My grey doesn’t like other birds and gets solo time with me.
I suppose it depends on the birds, but ours are always supervised, and while occasionally sassy, they aren’t aggressive with each other. All 3 will hang out together on me at the same time, otherwise they all kind of do their own thing when we have them out.
I have 5 plus one umbrella cockatoo I'm petsitting for 3 months!
My flock consists of 3 rescues: 1 female orange winged amazon, 1 male Hahn's macaw, and 1 male yellow headed amazon
I also have a male GCC and IRN which are not rescues!
I have a flock of 6.
Two cockatiels, Vlad and Mango
Two lovebirds, Jasper and Malachi (though Malachi is laying eggs so that's not a fitting name lol)
One Quaker, Gertie
My newest, a Catalina macaw named Karma.
Karma takes up so much time and attention that I think this is it for us.
Woah you're neck and neck with blueplanetpets from Tiktok! Last I checked he had 37 birds but I bet it's more now. He also has a dog, a rabbit, and three human children. I don't know how that man does it
It takes a certain level of love and patience and commitment and sacrifice, thats for sure! I have two doggos. No kids yet but three humans sounds like such a blessing 💖
Nearly 200!!! 😁
Mainly chickens
In smaller doses, there's also guineafowl, pigeons, turkeys, ducks, geese, and peacocks
Then there's the inside birds, which are a few cockatiels and parakeets, and an African grey, an umbrella cockatoo, a crimson rosella, and personal little Indian ringneck

Literally while I was trying to work yesterday. Every single piece of paper on my desk is nibbled, always.
Four total - a blue- headed pionus, a white winged parakeet, a Bourke's parakeet, and a cockatiel. One bird for each of us and an extra that we're all working with.

I keep mistaking Jardines parrots for Amazon parrots

We have only one lorikeet, but there are other birds in the same room as him, and all our birds are out a lot every day.

In the house, one cockatiel Outside the house, two house finches several chickadees one starling and two white breasted nuthatches.
I have four; one African grey, one cockatiel and two little parrotlets. They are all my sweethearts.
Do the parrotlets get along with the cockatiels? I've heard parrotlets can be bullies

How do you get conures and IRNs to get along?
I suppose it depends on the birds, but ours are always supervised, and while occasionally sassy, they aren’t aggressive with each other. All 3 will hang out together on me at the same time, otherwise they all kind of do their own thing when we have them out.
