Greytness

Glad to meet your 'crack heads'!

Love the puns! :-)

That's a good one!

Oh no. If Maalik adds my husband's nose honking to his sneezing vocalizations, I'm doomed!

You're probably on to something here.

Of all the sounds that Maalik could choose to imitate, he had to come up with my husband's sneeze. OMG. When my husband sneezes, you would think that a freight train was roaring past your ears. All day yesterday Maalik practiced and practiced the sound of his sneeze. He doesn't have it down quite yet, but it's just a matter of time.

Did you move him into your room before or after he started plucking his legs?

Mine loves to be plastered against my neck on my shoulder. He prefers my left shoulder for some odd reason. It's funny, seeing that I'm also left handed. If Maalik's eyes pin over something, or if he gets roudy, then he's moved down to my hand or forearm.

I'm on it!

Nice work! I Like how you incorporated the white rocks around the base to help keep the critters out. I can't wait to get started on my sunroom/aviary project in 2015. In the meantime, can my fids fly over for a play date some time?

Murfchck, I'm also a member of the 9 flock club. It's going to take me some time to acknowledge all my fids as you have!

Oh, no. Then I'm doomed, especially since I already have to endure the sounds from 4 barking German Shepherds.

In the past 3 weeks, Maalik has suddenly barraged us with a whole new vocabulary set, imitations and sounds. He's 15 months old now. He imitates something from each of our other 7 bird's vocabulary, laughs exactly like our Panama Amazon to the point where I don't know who's laughing, and threading together more word strings. Today he said, 'Play ball!', something we never say, so he must have picked it up from the TV. I'm thoroughly enjoying this! But let's hope that he doesn't pick up our dogs' barking. Then I'll shoot myself!

katana600, you are absolutely correct. He's a Military/Blue & Gold hybrid. Both are known for their more laid back personalities. The red military crest never comes through for this particular hybrid. We visit him 3 times a week. I already feel that he knows us!

I already have first dibs! :rolleyes:

AW, LOVE baby CAGS! So sweet! Welcome aboard! Keep those pictures of your new baby coming!

No, I haven't DNA'd him yet. I might research a company and then have them pull a feather for me. We still haven't come up with a name for him yet. Don't know why it's been so difficult for us to come up with the right name for him.

A perfect choice! Congratulations!

I love seeing actual pictures of people that I can then associate with the name. Caesar's Dad, that looks like a classic Les Paul guitar! There's nothing better than the sound of a Les Paul.

Welcome to the forum! Your new girl sounds amazing! What was the reason for the previous owners relinquishing her to you?

Murchck, agreed. I get pinched almost daily by my GCC and duskie conures. It's just what they do. Maalik pinches me from time to time as well. The only fids that have made me bleed is Harley, my Panama Amazon when I was in a hurry to get him back into his cage. And my caique, Walter, as I was removing him from a stranger's arm. Lessons from both well learned.

It's okay. This is all so very raw for you. We completely understand that you're going through an extremely difficult time right now. It's just going to take a lot of time for your heart to heal.

Look how happy GreycieMae is as she beholds her new digs from above! So many fun items in there to help keep them all very busy!

Happy belated hatch day, Talon! May you enjoy many, many more hatch day celebrations in the years to come!

There are a lot of new friends, including myself on this board. For the new folks who don't know about you and Caesar, I'd love to hear about your special guy. He was a stunning one.
