Good to see signs of life! I try to check every day. I'm sad that this forum, which provided so much support and information to me, when I was a first time parrot servant, is now so inactive. It is what it is there. I'll keep hanging in there as long as I am able. Sorry to hear you are still playing the bite game. They certainly have minds of their own, and Timber's behavior at times still baffles me, though I'm sure he'd tell me he has good reason. Recently, He took a swipe at me for no reason and out of nowhere. That hadn't happened in a few years. I actually thought of the problems you had expressed and though "uh oh" but it did seem to pass. I don't post often because things are much the same as ever with Timber and I don't have as many questions as I once did.

Wow, you started this in December, and there are 3 different reply’s. I hate social media. LOL. But I’ll go with it. 😃 I have Sukei. I think everyone that has posted knows Sukei’s story. He is a Middle East refugee African Grey. I’m guessing he is about 13 now. He was about 8 months old when I got him. He is still a bird living out on the Lam. (Fish and Wildlife say his import papers were not correct when he arrived at JFK for quarantine.) So one day we’re going to have to go to court and get that straight. When I retire in 5 years we are going to do so in the Philippines and I’ll need proper documents to get him out of the country. They used to be real big into bird smuggling. But it’s a long ridiculous story. They got all there money. Anyway he has become grumpy in his old age and likes to bite as some of you have heard the stories and seen the pictures lol. I let him out and some days are ok. Other days we play the bite game. (See if I can keep from getting bit) LOL I’ve got quite good at it. I work from home so he isn’t lonely that’s for sure. I hope a few more people post, there are a few I see that log in, but haven’t posted.
