Greytness

My birds are the same way about green things. The only way I can get them to eat other greens is to chop those up into sweet potato. They can't pick it out if it's stuck to sweet potatoes! I spend a king's ransom annually keeping my 10 fids supplied with sugar snap peas, which are $5.99/lb in California.

I've never thought to give them any bones. They get roasted chicken treats from time to time, but never the bones. Hope you had a great Christmas.

Haha! I thought so! Great angle shot!

Thanks for the update! So happy to hear she's doing better!

Please keep us posted. She looks like such a sweetheart. Her eyes dance!

Could you perhaps rest a rope perch directly on top of her sleep towel to provide her with a soft perch should she wish to grab onto one?

That look...RUN!!!!

Thank you!! So glad to no longer have them as neighbors. Fairly certain the feelings are mutual. The aviary is all situated on our property. My son is currently using it for his ducks until he can get around to building another quack house for them. Met 2 of our new neighbors who both seem to be quite decent folks. Am loving it here so far, and am beyond happy! Just finished unpacking and organizing the interior, so my next project will be the garage.

They always seem to grab onto the most annoying sounds they can. Maalik imitates my son's extremely long burps. He has it down to where I don't know if it came from my son or from him!

Num num!

So happy to see that you're back! Life certainly throws some mucky curve balls from time to time. And yours take the cake! Thank you for posting such a handsome picture of Huey! We need our fixings around here! I just moved into a new home this past week. Getting our other house ready for sale, so we haven't even packed much of anything. Thirty four years of 'stuff' is a lot to go through and pack. Can't wait to have some down time. We did get our aviary set up, which my son's ducks are enjoying for now until he has time to build them another Quack House. Again, so happy to see that you're back!

We close escrow this week and will be moving on Thursday! It's been quite an ordeal going through 34 years of accumulated stuff. My fabricator is all lined up to take down and transport my aviary next Wednesday, which I'm super excited about! The only down side is that I'll now have to crate them and carry each one out, whereas right now I have an attached enclosed area that extends from my window directly into the aviary. So there's no need to crate and carry them outside. My birds don't like being crated, especially the macaws so it'll be interesting!

I need another hefty dose of Hughie and Greycie! Miss your posts.

Fantastic! It always takes time and a lot of patience, as you do everything in 'grey time'. Sounds like she's coming along quite nicely!

Oh, yes she has. While I love my current home, having remodeled it to our tastes, we've never been able to completely relax here. I am constantly closing windows and doors whenever my birds get too loud so as not to set her off. My 4 new neighbors all have animals: horses, chickens, dogs, etc. It will be amazing to not be chastized for our birds animal vocalizations.

After living in our home for 34 years, we've decided to move to the country! We purchased a nice home on 2.2 acres of land. What I'm most excited about is no longer having to worry about neighbors being disturbed by the sounds from my birds and parrots, especially my macaws. Our aviary has rarely been used on account of our neighbor's intense sensitivity to sound, called misophonia. Unfortunately my birds' vocalizations is one of the sounds that will throw her into feelings of hate, anger and rage. But that is about to change, as I plan on moving the aviary with us for my birds to enjoy! Can't wait!

Alfie's great adventures! What a great outing for you both!

That's how I give to my fids: 1 to 2 drops daily. @timbersmom, I use Nutiva Organic RPO, which you can find on Amazon. What I like is that they grow their own and don't cultivate it by destroying the natural habitat.

Please keep us posted as to how both you and Snickers are doing. I'm sure that he's all settled in by now. We humans have a much more difficult time letting go.

I'm switched.

We want to see more Greycie videos!

I can't bring myself to click and read. Too upsetting for me.

Any updates on how Snickers is doing? And how are you doing??

You've been sidelined!
