Welcome back! Has it really been since 2018? You and Dorian have been missed!

Wow, oh Wow and congratulations! I'm glad Acappella posted on this thread because I otherwise probably would not have seen the description of your property. Thanks for posting all the information/photos. What a perfect property. Clearly, you do an amazing job of integrating GreycieMae into your life. I'm impressed that you can get a harness on her so that she can join you outside. Given all your critters, you've got to be busy but I am sure it is a totally rewarding lifestyle. I wish you the best of luck!

HI! Dorian and I are back. I know I haven't logged on since 2018, but I never forgot about you guys. I just got busy, and sick, and my back went out, and, well, life. Dorian's still my little feathered entertainment unit. He doesn't talk as much these days, simply because the house we're now in is much smaller than our previous home, and he spends almost all the time with me. He used to use speech to lure me back downstairs to him when I was upstairs taking care of my dad. Dad's been gone for 9 years now, but every once in a while I still hear his voice coming from Dorian. This summer I've been taking Dorian in his travel cage out to the front porch on days when it hasn't been too hot. He loves barking at the dogs who walk by lol. He'll be 21 this coming November. Hard to believe I've had him for 17 years. I'm going to have some fun looking around and getting caught up. Glad you're still here.

Huey gets all the girls. That's because he has rock hard abs of fluffers. Tues and Thurs (usually) I get on the bike trainer which is in the attached bird room. Huey always gets excited with the loud music and activity. Here he is busting out some hanging crunches. What a stud muffins... 20210817_112548.mp4

Dorian has a roll his cage and his playstand. I scored a 12' x 12' x 12' box full of rolls of tape for $10 a few years ago at a thrift store, so he's well supplied.

Huey is beautiful.

OMG that is way too funny! You go Huey!

Timber has been known to get on the floor and come looking for us if we aren't in the same room as he is. He doesn't fly, but doesn't hesitate to cruise around on the floor. I'm convinced he doesn't realize he isn't human anyway, so probably thinks nothing of walking about like the rest of us. The only problem is, he really hates feet. This isn't a problem unless I'm wearing sandals. He is compelled to go after my toes if they are bare! We sleep on the second floor and he sleeps on the first. He hears us stirring in the morning and probably vocalizes more then than any other time during the day. If he doesn't think we are moving quickly enough to get downstairs, he runs through his whole vocabulary of speech, plus most of his mimic noises and whistle patterns. I rehomed him nine years ago, and like you Acappella I'm thrilled with the progress we've made over the years. During the first year, there were so many times I despaired of ever having a relationship with him. He was terrified and untrusting. I'd give a lot to know what he went through previously, but can't honestly say how many homes he was in before he came here.

We used to have a similar setup with the birdroom down the hall away from the living room/kitchen area. It was too easy to just leave them all asleep for a bit while we got out of our zombie state in the morning. Now that we no longer have a birdroom and they are all smack in the dining room, there's no avoiding them. Plus, my two Greys sleep in the bedroom with us now. GreycieMae is on a step ladder that has a monster living under it, and Huey has his own rolling perch. They now make note of our coming and going in the middle of the night and if it's near 5-6am, you might as well get Huey up. Greycie likes to sleep in though and will stay put until 7am if I'm being lazy.
