Oh, poor kitty! I will definitely say a prayer for her quick recovery.

Hi, Maggie and Jay here... Kittykittykitty broke her arm a few weeks ago and is currently in a rehab facility. Can you please send some prayers and warm wishes her way to help lift her spirits?

Hello, we have two 18 year old African Greys that we have been in possession since 2002 . They were caged together initially and we named them Sonny and Cher. Cher was terrified of me in the beginning but after a couple of years of patience and nurturing she loves being with me. Sonny is more temperamental and he likes to dance to music but he gets moody sometimes. We have 2 cocker spaniels and they get along great with the birds as did our other spaniels that have since passed. Our birds are in good health and get a variety of foods . Cher loves mash potatoes and Sonny loves pasta. They both enjoy scrambled egg and chicken . Well that’s all I’ve got to say for now 😁 Thanks Colin

It saddens us greatly that only 3 members responded in more than 2 days.....A wish is just a moment of time and the time we have in our lives is but a fleeting moment. In the passing second, I said a prayer for each of your health and happiness. We lost a moment but we gain so much more. I love you all so much. Rev. Jayd

Beautiful!! Happy you found us.🦋

Hoping he is back to normal and you have a more secure storage place now.

Will do! Always tough to break a bone.

Most parrots in the wild are quite familiar with getting high (pun intended)...besides just by flying. My concern is not what he ate but how much...in the wild, parrots eat fermented fruits, berries and foods. Some actually seek it out and make it part of their staples. A vet is the best route....we send our prayers. Jayd and Maggie

I don't have any advice other than what's already been offered. Just posting to say I hope your bird is ok and recovers fully!

Sleeping it off is the best thing for him, but you should at least call a vet and ask, it’s a large amount considering his size

Go here and explain your situation. They will be able to help. https://www.facebook.com/groups/Parrotfirstaid/

Very nice looking birdies. 😍

Wow! Are you a photographer by any chance? Those images look extremely well done!

Beautiful!

Wow! Those are greyt photos.

Here's some pics of Cher This is Sonny

Welcome Colin, looking forward to learning more about your fids. Can't wait to see some pictures.

I hope you paid with a credit card for the broken one. I'd resolve it through them. They always referee in favor of the buyer if you have any evidence.

So....now I got this set up....and it should be here within the next couple of days.... http://www.lightyourreptiles.com/arcadia-parrot-pro-uv-flood/ Ill let you know when I get it...and how it works.

Hello and welcome! Love their names

Welcome to the forum! Yes, pictures please!

Welcome! Would love to see pics if you have them.

How frustrating when companies don't stand behind their products.

Oh that's unfortunate. Hopefully you manage to get it sorted and they send a replacement bulb!

Ok...received the light today with a broken bulb, and the USA Distributor did not want to replace the bulb as he said he has had nothing but but issues with broken bulbs in these. I have emailed the company directly and waiting to hear back from them.

We ended up purchasing this light set-up this morning: http://www.lightyourreptiles.com/arcadia-bird-cage-fixture-with-bulb-combo-exclusive-usa-use-kit/ We will let you know when we receive it.

Yes, I have seen these around. They look nice.! Thanks!

Thanks! Looking for a supplier for this http://www.arcadia-bird.com/e27-compact-lighting-unit/ in the USA

This is the bulb I use: https://www.amazon.com/Zoo-Med-24975-Compact-Fluorescent/dp/B000KH9S88/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1539033229&sr=8-4&keywords=avian+sun+lamp I have this cheap floor lamp, which has lasted since 2013. It seems very cheap, but it has really held up well considering. https://www.amazon.com/Zoo-Med-AvianSun-Deluxe-Floor/dp/B006L49LHC/ref=sr_1_15?ie=UTF8&qid=1539033375&sr=8-15&keywords=zoomed+lamp The one SR posted above looks nice.

This is one of the best light setups I've seen: http://www.arcadia-bird.com/e27-compact-lighting-unit/ Lots of people use the ZooMed I mentioned earlier but the stand it comes with is tall and susceptible to getting knocked around. Our's lastest barely a month before the light was hanging out of the unit from getting bounced around. That arcadia site has other options available too.

Thanks! I will post some shortly. Anyone else use Full Spectrum Lights? If so what brands please? Thanks!

Wonderful! Would love to see another picture of her looking great again!

Thank you so much! Which light set-up do you use please? Thank you so much! She keeps making good progress :)!

Sunlight isn't possible for us but I do the full spectrum avian light every day. It is important. Sure glad to hear she is better!

Sunlight is critical. It's the reason I built an outdoor aviary for them. Lots of people use the one by Zoomed. Just make sure it's an avian full spectrum light and not a general reptile light. I have also seen where people have ruined their birds eyes even with the avian light by allow exposure to close. Sunlight is best if you can do it.

Well, its 3 days later...She has spent an hour outside everyday...and she is like a new girl once again :)! We are going to continue to keep giving her time outside daily and we are going to get her a UVB light as well! Do any of you use them...If so which do you use? Thank you for all your help and support She has her follow up vet appointment today... Sunlight Seems CRITICAL...To these guys and gals !

Hello, I have had my grey for over 22 years. Last evening he ate a dime size amount or less of marijuana. I wasn't happy but it didn't occur to me it would hurt him. Then I noticed he was lethargic, quiet and a little wobbly. It scared me to death. As soon as I picked him up (stepped up on my finger) he regurgitated fluid and pieces of the pot. He continued to seem sleepy and then before bed he perked up slightly and was drinking water but not eating. This morning he is much better, he ate his breakfast fine and was a little more alert but is STILL DOZING. I live in cow country and the vets here don't do chickens much less a parrot. Has anyone experienced this or could please tell me how to help my boy??? I DO NOT IN ANY WAY FIND THAT HE DID THIS FUNNY. Any information I would be grateful for. Thank you
