The crusty's - princess parrots Max & Arnie

These guys are also known as Alexandrae Parrots. They are not native to the Port Stephens area, but come from the Western Australian and Northern Territory desert areas.
They make fantastic pets as they are friendly and very gentle.
We only had Max for a few years, and then bought a baby named Ozzie as a companion for her. Unfortunatly Ozzie died and not long after that, we noticed Arnie strolling around the backyard - we think that it really was meant to be that he picked our yard!
They really are more human than birds though - they like nothing better than some cheese & biscuits or even a slurp of warm coffee.
They are also rather partial to pasta or a chew on a chop bone.

Thank you so much for thinking of me re the proposed meeting. It is fairly unlikely I'll be able to make however, even though I'd dearly love to. I've moved to just north of Coffs Harbour with my new lady and, though I'm still in Newy from time to time, will find that date hard to make as I'm actually in Tasmania as I write this.
Will let you know if I can make it though. Cheers, Ian

  I just spent some time in Malaysia & really liked Melaka, looks very similar with the Portugese influence and fabulous food. Having spent some time in India, I know how hard it is to find some peaceful places....loved Pushkar & Goa.
