The Old Folks Home

[Parront]

Welcome! I love exotic birds! I have had many in my life but never a Grey. I had amazons and cockatoos and lots of smaller birds. Good to see new life on the rockers!

Greys are just the best parrots. I have always had birds, since I moved out on my own in 1976. I had a breeding pair of Cockatiels and got up to 11 'tiels at one time! They can be prolific, and so hard to give up the chicks!

We like Prescott. We are in the forest here, in a mobile home park for the time being. The desert is too hot, Used to live in Palm Desert. We wanted a place we did not have to leave every summer. Property costs less here, and we are close to the VA med center. We did have a close-by forest fire this summer, not as bad as CA has periodically. But, they do have a "Fire Season" which is in the spring before the monsoon rain comes.

I am looking at New Mexico too. One of our Grad Students is from there and said it would be a good place to retire. Being a 5th generation Californian that would be a big move for me!

My plan for the day is to get lunch and then head to home depot. I need to replace the seal on a toilet tank in the master bedroom bathroom. Of course I bough what I thought the seal was based on the other toilett...not the same thing at all! Of course it turns out that I need more parts because of that.

Luckily the website for home depot says the parts are in stock

Property where you can have a chicken is too expensive in all the places in CA that can support life! The desert is affordable, for a reason. We can drive to San Diego to visit grandkids in a day, so that is good. There are some rural places close to town here that we are looking at.

That is my plan! Rural property here is ridiculous. Small places are twice what my house is worth

Yeah, and the yuppies w/4 horses on 1/2 acre complain about your rooster. HOA for everything we looked at, you can barely have a dog. Or paint your house without an ARC permit.

I have been looking in Chino Valley. 2 1/2 acres, mobilehome, ~180 to 250,000. I drive through the neighborhood to see if there is crowing! There is!

We had four walk in flight in the basement, and two upstairs bedrooms full of breeder cages. I can't actually say how many birds i had but it must have been at least 150, with finches, parakeets, cockatiels , love birds etc. Hand fed the cockateils if the parents were pluckers. Such cute babies!
