Those are odd looking fish

Cat saliva poisonous. All it takes is one little scratch.
A really good book is called "Companion Parrot Handbook" by Sally Blanchard.
In Van. there's a good bird pet store called West Coast Tropical Bird Studio http://www.wctropicalbird.com/. Vicky does sell online and is a wealth of information. I highly recommend both.

Awesome thanks for the heads up. I'll have to pick it up. We grabbed these two books already

I saw their webpage through a link on the genesis aviary homepage.. looks like cool stuff there, I am assuming it is a home type business but they do have a few times they are open.. next saturday I want to try to visit.

Nope they actually have a retail store. It's in a very odd location though. It's in a strip mall in the middle of a residential area. Took me hours to find the 1 time I was there.(this is Jason), But my wife can find it blind folded

I had a Senegal for a year. While he was in the care of a friend, he stopped eating and died mysteriously, the vet couldn't say what was wrong either... he was an incredible pet! Birds are amazing creatures!

That said, once I find a good home for the cat that is currently boarding in my apartment I'll be getting a pair of Pacific Parrotlets... I love the small parrots! I just don't feel I can trust a cat with birds, and the birds would likely be uncomfortable.

Beautiful lovebirds, and I guarantee that things will get loud... I had a single Senegal, and he was pretty loud just on his own! But rarely did it bother me, unless I stayed up late and then he woke up early in the morning. My fault, not his

And this is the first I've heard of someone owning a touraco. I've heard of them before, but never met anyone that had one. I looked at an African Starling in a store in Winnipeg, very cool looking bird... I think the larger non-parrot type birds are underestimated as interesting and rewarding pets.
