My Pet Store Visit...
My mom and I often go to the petstore to pick up supplies for our spoiled little cutie pies, Henry the budgie & Buttons the bunny.
 Today was my mom's birthday and we found ourselves at the petstore after lunch, meeting some adorable little creatures. I will take shots each time I go and post pics of the new pets they get in. I am a bird owner so today I looked at nothing but. This stunningly gorgeous baby African Grey really took to me and even let me scratch his head twice...  The petstore guy was super jealous because he said he's been trying to scratch his head for days and he won't let him!  Here he was playing...  I fell in love with him but of course I had to be loyal to Henry and couldn't get him. Plus too, he cost 2000 bucks and I wasn't prepared to put out that kind of cash!  Here were some other adorable birds I saw, including this pretty Conure...  All these next ones were so cute too...     Next time I go, I'll take some more shots of some other pets they have too. I just love birds!  If anyone else visits a petstore and remembers to take some shots, feel free to post them here also... : ) |

Re: My Pet Store Visit...
He does look pretty fat!
He was napping though and had his head down in his neck and looked much fatter in the picture than he actually was. : ) |

Re: My Pet Store Visit...
It sure did for that little bird. I like that white one with the dark throat looking right at the camera. What an elegant little beauty! ~J

Re: My Pet Store Visit...
LoL Tom!
Did you know that birds can make themselves look really fat? Henry does it all the time. They can squeeze super thin too...it works both ways. Yes Janan, that white bird is quite unusual looking, isn't he? He looks kind of grumpy in the one picture...I dared to disturb their naptime! I could have stayed there the whole day watching them. They're so interesting and adorable. I want to go back and see that African Grey and felt like he bonded with me today... No I better not on 2nd thought...or he'll be under my tree for Christmas! I'll just look at his picture when I miss him. I sure hope he finds a great owner to care for and love him. For the money they're asking for him, no doubt it will be someone who will adore and spoil him. I just wish it could be me. ;( Henry would have a fit if he knew I was talking like this! : ) |

Re: My Pet Store Visit...
Yes they are kinda cool Zac and they have many other colored ones too. I've seen some real cool ones there over the years.
They'll likely get more in for Christmas so I'll show them if they do... : ) |

Re: My Pet Store Visit...
Well I was back at the pet store yesterday...
 I saw the dog grooming station first but as I snapped a shot, the lady in the photo informed me that it was against policy to take a picture of other people's dogs, even though the lady that owned them was standing right there and said I could...  The same African Grey was still there...  He was totally loving and affectionate with me and I wondered if he remembered me...  Saw some more cute Finches too...    Gosh I love birds...    I have other pics I took of a fish, some hampsters, and some reptiles. I'll load them shortly so you guys can see... : ) |

Re: My Pet Store Visit...
Wow lots of cool pics. We are also bird lovers...well pet lovers actually. We have two african greys 3years old and 2 years old. Also a military macaw 2years old, 3 assorted dogs and a bearded dragon. If I cant live in an exotic place...than the creatures must come to me...

Re: My Pet Store Visit...
That gecko looks like he is smiling! I have those all over my windows in the summer time. They like to snack on the moths that come to the windows at night. Here's a shot I took of one of my "wild" lizards:

Re: My Pet Store Visit...
Cool shot, Janan!
 Feel free to post more if you see them... Yes I thought the same thing about that gecko...that he looks like he's smiling. Some of them really look like they're posing for the shots. Animals seem to like my camera and are curious about it...likely because it's bright hot pink! That African Grey just loved it. : ) |

Re: My Pet Store Visit...
I was back at the petstore today and the African Grey I posted shots of earlier in this thead was purchased by someone. I didn't get to see him this time, but happy he has a home now.
I did see some great pets though...     This little fella was washing himself...  Then he took a nap...  Some great retiles...  A milksnake...  Look at the mug on this next guy!  It's like he's saying..."you've got some nerve pointing that thing at me"!  Other cool ones...    Until next time... : ) |

Re: My Pet Store Visit...
A playful Conure scratching his head...
 Thought this red & green little Finch looked really Christmassy looking...  Here was a gorgeous and unique pure white female budgie...  A rare pink parakeet...  These guys were too funny...  Pretty colors...  We were in a rush so I couldn't stay long. I just miss Henry and wanted to look at the birds for a bit. : ) |
