Greytness

So thrilled to be back! I missed everyone! I have added to our flock since the last time I'd posted. I'm also now owned by a fantastic Scarlet named Dexter, bringing our flock to 11! He was an owner turn in at the ripe young age of 18 months. He's an absolute love bug with an incredible ability to pick up language. Maalik continues to steal our hearts with his antics, mimicry and his love. Looking forward to being back. Thank you, Talon, for the re-add! :-)

Google 'under seat airline pet carrier'. You will find quite a few available options.

Have a fabulous day of celebration! Enjoy your day!

All 10 of mine are flighted. Ziggy, my Ekki, is a rehomed bird who had always been clipped before he came to us. Unfortunately he's never figured out what wings are for once his flight feathers grew in.

This is Maalik and I hamming it up with an empty wine bottle. Every time I brought it up to my lips, Maalik would press his beak against my lips as if he was trying to drink from the bottle. (Not sure why the image uploaded sideways)

I hand chop every morning for my 10 fids the following: carrots, broccoli, sugar snap peas, baby swiss chard, kale, sweet potatoes, a grape, banana, pomegranate, red bell, blueberries, and then I throw in my home made birdie bread consisting of 9 different veggies blended in with a Harrison's 'flour base and more nutrient packed goodies.

Maalik gets little cuts on his face all the time. Couldn't figure out how he was getting them, but now I'm beginning to think they're from his tossing around his steel toys, too.

Nope! I don't have OCD

I have 19 birds and animals I used to race Porsches I have OCD

I was wonder where you'd gone. Welcome back! So sorry to hear about your baby. I don't think we truly ever get over these losses.

My birds aren't clipped (all 10 of them). The ceiling fans are turned off when I take them out, and only the portable fans are on. They know what a window is through their own trial and error. All my birds have figured out their boundaries within our home. My newest baby came here clipped, but I've let her flight feathers grow out, and she has recently learned how to fly. I've hung up a curtain separating rooms so that when they're out I can pull the curtain closed to contain them. Everyone in my home knows that when the birds are out all the windows and doors must be closed as well as the curtain drawn. You will simply have to figure out what works best within your environment and to make certain that everyone in your home follows what you've put into place. In keeping birds flighted comes great responsibility. But it certainly brings them tremendous joy and delight, not to mention much needed exercise.

How much living space will Phenix have with each cage? When selecting a cage, the bigger, the better. Also visualize the amount of room he'll have to roam about inside once you've hung all his toys. I also prefer flat top cages to the domed ones.

If you're completely set on getting a breeder baby, I do have a great recommendation for you. He usually has clutches in the spring. He's the head bird keeper for the San Diego Zoo and breeds magpie jays, green wings and CAGs. He ships. http://www.rainforestaviaries.com/

I'm so sorry. Gypsy had a wonderful life because of you. <3

Such sad news. My prayers go out to his family. He will be greatly missed.

Have you tried pine nuts? All 10 of my fids like that one the best.

What a great opportunity for your birds! The all looked so happy!! I've always fantasized about letting my fids fly inside a gymnasium. Wish I could make that happen.

Just saw on FB that someone lost 3 of her 4 birds from Teflon toxicity one hour after using her new air fryer. If anyone her has one of these appliances, PLEASE don't use it anywhere near your birds. Better yet, get rid of it!

Make sure you don't fart of burp near her, either!

Happy New Year everyone!

I was disheartened to see that there were people trying to poke holes into his beautiful story. Made me feel sick to my stomach.

Such great news! Congratulations!

Happy hatch day, Dorian! May there be many more hatch days to come!

I am DYING!

Spoiled birdie(s)!
