Greytness

It definitely keeps me busy, but I have a good routine in place. I have my morning coffee while chopping up their fresh veggies. It's my time to mentally plan my day. In the evening is when everyone gets let out of their cages. They're all flighted, so I decided to make evenings their time to get out and fly/exercise. I have 10 fids. Like you, I stress over what will happen to them once my time is up on this earth. My family are not into birds, so I'll likely find homes for them if my health goes south. If I go suddenly, then I have a notebook of wishes,etc.

My pineapple GCC, ecclectus and black headed caique, unfortunately have all passed away 4 to 5 years ago. The pineapple and BHC succombed to an environmental toxicity within 30 minutes of each other. My husband had brought home a pan that we weren't aware had PTFE. My son cooked something over very high heat, which killed them. It's a miracle the others weren't affected. My ecki went into respiratory distress for reasons unknown to us, and had to be PTS. This was at a different time. So, in all, I've had 13 fids. I started my journey with birds later in life.

I have a young flock: Gizmo and Niko: dusky conures, age 13. Gizmo was my very first bird, and we got Niko a month later to keep her company Harley: Panama amazon, age 12 Maalik (12), Fynn (7), and Sydney (19)-all CAGS Shaylor-miligold macaw (11) Dexter-scarlet macaw (9) Teak-lesser Jardine's (11) Chloe-meyers (9)

Merry Christmas to all!

Happy Thanksgiving to you, too, Timbersmom! So happy to hear that Timber is doing well! That is something to be most thankful for!

Fantastic! Thank you again, Kevin!

Thank you, Kevin. So sorry to see that you're having to deal with this again. Please know that I am grateful to you for your efforts in keeping this site afloat.

Happy Hatch Day, Talon! I bet she was hoping to find a real waffle inside!

Odie looks really good! He must be enjoying all his good eats and lovin'! So glad you were able to FINALLY find that travel cage! Your nightly set up looks really nice. I don't have a sleeping area for my flock as I personally haven't found a need for it here. They'll stir a little at sunrise, but they usually don't get around to chatting amongst themselves until 0730ish, which works out just fine for me. There's been a few occasions where one or 2 of them have experienced a midnight terror flail, but it usually happens right before an earthquake. It's amazing how they know even before we humans do!

I'll take the smoke alarm sound any day over having 3 parrots making long, sustained belching sounds, one after the other, as if they'd just downed a tall frothy mug of beer!

Haha! Oh, that's so funny! Would love to have a match off with your two. The worst sound mine have picked up is my son's prolonged burping noise following with back and forth shrieking matches. I need me an Odie to help referee!

Why is it that when one of my CAGS learns to make an extremely obnoxious sound that the other 2 decide to adopt it as well, creating an annoying ongoing chorus? And why don't they share the more pleasant sounds amongst them?

What a cool thing to do bringing Alfie along with you! Thank you for sharing all your pics with us. Alfie is one spoiled birdie!

Thank you for the update! So has he pushed Greycie into the second place naughtiness category? One of my all time favorite videos from many years ago is when you and your family were playing games while Greycie was on top of the refridgerator. She was so full of sass and enjoying every minute of attention! What does Hughie think of his new 'friend'?

How's Odie doing? Did you ever look into his air sac issue?
