If, your lucky, and can find grapes "with seeds", give one to your bird, most birds will go straight for the seed, the best part...Grape seeds are good!!! Note: THERE ARE NO DUMB QUESTIONS!!!!!!!!!!

It's nice to have you back......................Jayd

Parrot's Parrots, also known as psittacines (pronounced /ˈsɪtəsaɪnz/),[2][3] are birds of the roughly 372 species in 86 genera that make up the order Psittaciformes,[4] found in most warm and tropical regions. The order is subdivided in three families: the Psittacidae ('true' parrots), the Cacatuidae (cockatoos) and the Strigopidae (New Zealand parrots).[5] Parrots have a pan-tropical distribution with several species inhabiting the temperate Southern Hemisphere as well. The greatest diversity of parrots is found in South America and Australasia. [Read More] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parrot

I've PM'ed you about Onyx's sleeping condition....Jayd

;)In Amazonia, wild parrots congregate on exposed riverbanks to consume clay. Perhaps this provides them "natural" vitamins. Another idea is that the clay helps detoxify harmful substances ingested in the diet. http://www.highlightskids.com/Science/Stories/SS1201_parrotseatDirt.asp :DThis is true of many Parrots.......................Jayd

What wonderful friends.......Jayd

This is more on the last post... A lot of Zon's never do a 100% single-out to one person, they'll do a 6, A0/40, more ore less, some favor male's or females, remember, they do go through stages, he trying you out, DON'T let them know your upset, keep throwing your love to these wonderful Zon's.....Set back and enjoy, A Zon, adapts to his surrounding far quicker than a Grey......

Ok. explain, won't take food? treats? dinner? doe's he step-up,? play with you?, have you changed your hand soap etc? Does he call you? Jayd

Yes, Boozle is the best.....

If I may: It is important to remember that tofu is a soy product. If your bird displays hormonal tendencies or has plucking or picking habits, discontinue all soy products. Soybeans contain natural forms of estrogen which can enhance hormone levels. http://www.greyfeathertoys.com/html/dairy.html

Good Job, really good work.................

Your the one that's fantastic, for having the willingness to ask questions...Keep up the good work, everyone here is behind you.....

Suggestion: I would have a change of cloths and shoes to change into after work...Also a good scrub down of hand's, arm's, and face....Glad you got the job.......

Stay calm,

With no disrespect to anyone, my personal opinion is: It's always best to err on the safe-side..Should we give advice on how serious a injury is with-out seeing it first hand? no! to give a suggestion? yes!...Our Fids lives depends on our concern, as well as our feelings of doing the right thing......Good Mama.......

Hi, here's another site for you, my feeling only, and I could be wrong, would be no, sorry. Has your friend had blood work done, to ease their mind?... http://www.avianbiotech.com/Diseases/Pacheco%27s.htm Transmission: Transmission of PDV is generally through infected feces and nasal discharge. PDV remains remarkably stable outside the host body as a dust or aerosol. This dust or aerosol contaminates the air that is then inhaled by another possible host. Contaminated surfaces, food, and drinking water may also contribute to the spread of the disease. Birds can be asymptomatic carriers of Pacheco's virus. Some believe that any bird that has survived an outbreak of the disease should be considered as a possible carrier. PDV can be reactivated when the bird is under stress such as during breeding, loss of mate, or change and environmental changes. Once it is reactivated the virus is shed in large numbers in the feces of the infected bird.

Oh my Gosh!! How wonderful that video is and you are doing a great job! Miss Spock being that age...they are so adorable....love that little "butterball butt" LOL Thanks for sharing... Jay and Maggie

Diego should not come in contact with this person, Amazon's have a poor survival rate with this disease... "herpes which although is not harmful to this Quaker,[maybe a carrier] can be very dangerous for other parrots." Pacheco's disease is a highly fatal, contagious disease of psittacine birds. http://kgkat.tripod.com/medical.html....Sorry, Jay d
