March 7, 2005 11:52 - African Greys and Timnehs
We had an email asking about the differences between the African Grey and the Timneh. Can anyone help answer? If you can help, just click on the "comments" link after this post, and post your answers.This person asked, between the African Grey and the Timneh, which is a better talker? I do know that the African Grey is generally known as a great talker. But, each bird is individual, and so any bird cannot be guaranteed to talk of course.
They also ask if the male or female might be a better talker.
And... "between the african grey and the white fronted, which is more hardy and easier to manage as a pet?"
I don't think it would make much difference, since the Greys are known for their talking ability. But, does anyone have any thoughts to help?
There's a great book I have to recommend, for new bird owners. And it's great for long time owners too. Help to teach your parrot to talk, cure bad behavior, health tips, and a ton more. See more about it here....

These are hard emails to answer, when someone writes that they have lost their pet. But we received another request for help in finding a lost parrot - in the Lemon Grove, California area. Please if you have any info, let us know.
LOST: "Rocko" Lemon Grove CA, missing since 12-1-04. White with yellow crown, female, spoon fed hand raised. ANYONE with ANY info please let us know at ParrotsNow. We have the phone number and contact info, and will pass on any leads. Contact us at ParrotsNow Contact form.
They didn't say what type of parrot Rocko is, but it sounds like it may be a Cockatoo. Losing any pet can be devastating, so always be careful for your Parrots sake.
We'll be adding tips here, to help protect your parrots. You can read more stories of Lost Parrots at our - Lost Parrots page.. There are some valuable lessons to learn.
