Nanday Story

Me and Tango

Hi!
I am Chantal and this is my beautiful Nanday Conure. His name is Tango. He is 7 month's and two weeks old. Tango is the most gentle, loving and cuddliest little companion I have ever had. He loves being around everyone and having everyone around him, as long as you don't work late.

He also enjoys chewing on anything he can get his little claws on. Anything from fingers, to fish tanks and his perches. In less than one night he ate one end of his perch, lol, silly little Tango.

He loves oranges, bananas, cashews ,cheese, apples and sunflower seeds. One thing I truly love about Tango is he lets me sleep in. He is a very quiet bird. He starts talking to me as soon as my body gets out of bed. Then he lets me know it's time to play so lets go.

I always wanted a bird but unfortunately I didn't get one of these amazing little companions until I was 20. See, my mom thought the same as everyone else, she thought that birds are every loud animals.

I remember my first time ever wanting a bird. I was about 5 and my mom took me to the pet store to pick out my first pet ever. So I went around looked at the dogs, cats and mice. I was almost ready to give up and go home, when all of the sudden out of the corner of my eye I saw this little birdy sitting on his perch.

I looked at him, then looked at my mom and said "I would like that one." My mom stopped me right there and said "No." I told her I really didn't want anything else and we should just go home. So she bought me a mouse. I was so angry but as time went on I kept on trying and the answer never changed.

So when I moved out I finally got my little companion and I couldn't be happier. So to all those people thinking about getting a bird, it's so worth it . So love your bird and take good care of them. I know I will.

Sincerely, Chantal and Tango.

Jan 18, 2008 Rating What a beautiful story by: Daryl It is clear to me that you have a passion for parrots, and that Tango fills your heart with joy. Parrots have a way of working their way into our hearts, and we are never quite the same again! Congratulations on your persistence in following your heart to one day live with a parrot... may you and Tango have many, many beautiful years together. I am owned by 7 conures, and we too have a 17 year old Nanday named Berta. She was adopted 6 months ago, and so we did not have the benefit of raising her ourselves... she is very defensive except with my boyfriend, who she adores (I think she prefers men to women!) I often wonder what Berta would have been like if we had her as a baby! But either way, she is still precious and a joy to us. Thanks for sharing your story of Tango.
