We have the 2 that are handicapped, one was the metabolic bone disease and both of her feet are wacky, Frito, and then Gabby, one of her legs are bent at the "hip" and the foot is turned inwards. Frito is the only one who has a special cage design, Gabby just has lots of shelves where she can rest (and chew said shelves, lol ). Frito has to have her cage papers changed daily though and she won't let Pat in to it! We raised the bottom to about 2" below the food and water bowls so she could crawl around and play. She loves that but what a mess, she will poop and walk through it or put her beak in it. I can't change her cage each time she poops and the thought of greys being so smart fly's right out the window when I see her do that!

Howardine, the site address is greyforums.net

This is Ming! Yup, we are officially insane. Lol. Actually, a friend found herself unable to keep Ming due to her health and she is also about to have both hips replaced. Ming is 14 and has been with them her whole life. One of the girls who helps me with my birds asked her mom and dad for one for Christmas. They asked me to help them and 4 days later I picked up Ming. Funny how things meant to be have a way of working out!

We have oneTimneh that has a badly turned foot, he gets around great and is the most aggressive with other animals and birds of our flock. Smarty Pants has no idea he has a problem at all.

Ha, Timber is not particular about walking through his poop either! I don't think greys see it quite like we do... He is in a "hospital" cage now, and I have to keep a towel in the bottom. You can imagine! When I'm not tending to him I'm doing laundry That's why I said I didn't know how you keep up with all of them. He takes up so much of my time and there is only one of him!

Ok, I thought it was just the skin needed to be updated because I updated the base code. Turns out this is a glitch in the skin. Ill have to turn it into the skin maker, and see if they can correct it. If not, I can dig into the html code myself, but that will take some time. These skin guys get paid well for a reason, css and html is a pain to pick through. Im still out of town, but Ill look at it this weekend when I get back, the snow has cleared off the roads, I can drive back. You folks in Ohio have it made, snow all the time LOL, however it does pose a problem when driving cross country..

I tried to enter Grey Forums two different times using www.greyforums.com. I got a page saying it was for sale. Did I do something wrong?

Thank you Judy! Mia culpa!

Wow I didn't know this. Something to bear in mind as I have carpets upstairs and in the hall that I want to replace at some point.

I admire your dedication and can't imagine the work involved. Now that Timber is "handicapped" it seems like a full time job at times for me. Bless you.

22 right now. 21 after Christmas! It is a team effort for sure.

Pretty baby How many birds do you have now? I have to admit I've lost track I really don't know how you do it.

Really cute!

Awww..Ming's a cutie. Cockatiels have so much personality packed into that little body it's unreal. I never knew they came without the overdone rouge. If our little Stevie could meet Ming, he'd ask him "whatchyadoin?"

Steve, come on out here! From a week or two ago!

So sorry about your niece. I've struggled with bouts of suicidal depression since my teens. (I'm bi-polar). As dark as it has gotten, I've always been blessed with 5% of my brain that's been able to reason out what my killing myself would do to my friends and family, but it's been very bad at times. I've been on a med now that has stabilized my mood for the past three years. You really believe that other people will be better off without you around, that you matter little in other people's lives. I'm sorry your niece lost this battle. I hope her family isn't blaming themselves. It's an insidious and evil illness and sometimes, despite everyone's best efforts, it wins.

I had no idea..
