Bubu and Fibi

Bubu and Fibi (Psitticus Erithacus Erithacus).

I went to the Canton Animal Mart in Texas for quite a few years. In 2000 I met a lady from Oklahoma that had quite a few parrots and dogs. I talked to her for a while and finally I convinced her to give me four of the birds for the sanctuary. Among the birds were two feather plucked African Grays called Bubu and Fibi and two Double Yellow Headed Amazons.
Bubu and Fibi are amazing birds. They could mimic anything and though Bubu is very loud and dominating, Fibi is the one that would let you scratch her head. Bubu is wild but will take a peanut now and then. Fibi loves men but hates women with a passion. We bonded quickly and I housed them till 2005 when I found a family that was able to give them even better conditions then me. Ted and Viorica Douglas out of Laguna Hills adopted Bubu and Fibi as well as the Lady Amherst pheasants. They now have a beautiful aviary.
After I brought them home from Canton, they both stopped feather plucking and are now in great shape. Bubu and Fibi are a great success story and I will always check on them to see how they are doing.
