Awesome haha! Quite a big hat that is! Those coloured hats inspired me to make mine coloured too Haha seems like this became a trend, maybe there could be some sort of 'Bird hat' thread sticky, or just thisone

Haha cool! She walks downstairs? Dexter does not seem to be able to walk down yet haha, he just waits untill I pick him up and carry him, lazy bird He doesn't like to fly down either, so once he got up he stays there

Haha, don't worry about stealing my thread, I just love these pics! I can never see enough of them ^^ What a cutie, he's really special! Just lovely!

That would be neat!

I understand your worries, they tend to panic quite easily in these situations and they will (in my experience) not calm down until they got loose. About the inches, I have no clue, my country uses centimeters as measurement so I have no idea Maybe you could replace the perch? Or even get something like a little teddybear, if you're lucky he might like it a lot and he wont shred it apart

Ha! Thats amazing! Do you happen to have that picture still? I'd love to see it!

Ha! The nose picking pic! So cute!

Very nice toy!

I'd say the EZ care cage is just fine for him. If he usually sleeps straight against the bars, you might place a small towel there or something to make sure his wings can't get through on that spot?

Recently I made a small hat for Dexter, and he is just loving it! Actually he doesn't care much about the hat itself, but he loves all the extra attention and 'Awwwwwwwwwwwww you're so cuuuuute' voices which make him want to wear it! Anyway, I seem to be unable to upload an image directly into this page so I have just copied a link of him wearing it http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/32/c9of.jpg/

Thanks for these kind words I sure am happy Mickey and Dexter get along so well! They really seem in love sometimes, I even caught Dexter 'vomitting' (don't know the exact English words ^^) for Mickey so that he could have some of his food! He ate it out of his beak! Mickey does the same thing to me once in a while, it's their amazing yet disgusting way of saying I love you! I sure will be uploading more videos as Dexter progresses learning his tricks now Or maybe even the smallest things, every day is fun having him around I made a small party hat for him, which he really seems to like, and he looks so cute wearing it! I am trying to get a photo in here This is the link: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/32/c9of.jpg/

Aww, I find them soo cute when they're walking

Ha, thats sweet! You spoiled him a little haven´t you?

It's so funny how different they all are. 3 out of 4 here just love to walk around, and the other one NEVER even touches the ground!

Ha! Thanks

The grey is called Dexter The cockatiel in the first video is Mickey He just loves to cuddle all day long

I will post more videos of him being amazing

That song is so true Inara!

Hi there, My name is Dennis Ooijer and I am 22 years old. I have been in love with birds for as long as I remember. I have 2 budgies and 1 cockatiel, the budgies being both 2 years old of age and the cockatiel 1 year old. Recently (past august) I have bought a 'baby' african grey, 6 weeks old, and hand feeded him from there on. He was being attacked (not really, but his brothers were seriously threatening him to do so) by his fellow brothers so the breeder decided to get him out since he was not getting enough food. I have been wanting to buy an african grey for so long, and read so much about them, but I just never found the right opportunity to get one. I even took care of one for 2 3 weeks while a friend went on a vacation to practise and see if this is something for me. Turns out it sure is! And I am loving it right now. He's out and playing almost all day long and he seems so very happy! Here are two short videos of him, one featuring my cockatiel as well, they just love eachother! Him being around 7 weeks old: And this one is recorded today, he's around 4 months old now Anyway, I hope to hang around here a lot Please forgive me if my English sucks, it's not my native language

Hey all! I was wondering, do any of your birds walk the stairs? Our African grey Dexter decided flying is too mainstream so he just started walking, and now every time we go upstairs he just walks along! Here is a little video of him walking:
