My Ramu's photo
Papu as you wanted to see my Ramu’s photo eagerly , yesterday night I searched the old albums and uploaded here. When we cliked this photo he was three year old .I guessed logically him as male because he got black coloured ring along with the red coloured ring around his neck(depicting beard)and some black fur around his beak(depicting mustaches).He had red coloured fur in his wings .He was quite big as compared to the local parrots and his tail was very long .Rao sir can explain in better way how to identify the gender of birds .As you can see here Ramu was nicely sitting on the grill of window near the gallery and enjoying the tree garden (contained peru, supari and coconut tree along with few flowers trees and creepers)near our gallery and watching the nature and people moving on the road .Many a time school boys used to whistle at him and he used to respond them by copying the same. Papu there are plenty of sweat memories and some sad stories are attached to him .When your exams are over you let me know I will brief you shortly. And also regarding the behavior of him .Right now I don’t want to disturb you. One more picture will follow this .When I go to my mom’s place I will get better pictures for you.

Rekha maam a very cute and pretty looking Ramu's photo... this reminds me of my own pet dog chintu which i lost a year after my marriage. We all become so attached to our pets, like we do with our own family members. He was a family member to me. When he died, i felt i lost a family member. This photo brings me the memories of my own dog... hmm let me ck if i hv a photo of him.

Yes, puspa maam these pet becomes one of the family members. I can understand the pain you have gone through when you have lost your loving pet. As mentioned earlier Ramu was survived for 25 yrs. He was like my younger brother .He use to love us more than we .Once Papu's exam is over i will share his life story. He was definitely different from other birds.

Dr Rekha, Thanks for uploading your Ramu's photo. After seeing this and after reading ur narration, I too feel like having a parrot in home.
Also thanks for replying my query as to how do you save those eggs from breaking. Ya, Now i understood how difficult it is to save from hubby, as I do have some similar experiences.

Papu,if u have many parrots sitting and enjoying in your neem tree do you need one more separately? .If u are planning to buy one then see to it that it should be very small (within few days of it’s birth) otherwise they always try run away .Lot's of cleaning and protection is required if you want to keep it outside the cage. As cats are always hunting for parrot’s .Regarding training i will brief you later. Regarding clear picture I will try to get from my mom’s place when I visit next .
My sincere advise will be better tobring after your boards exam .So that u can give lot's of time to him
