I am afraid, I have to agree with Nev.

Great Post! I am sure Judy, Dan and others will be adding tonnes of stuff soon... Lucky I got here before them!! Sitting Fluffed up: Shows comfort. Usually after meals and just before bedtime. Trying desperately to climb on you: Daddy, I wanna play!:woohoo: This usually happens when Daddy/mommy is very busy with other stuff. Running Back n forth on perch: Pick me up NOW. In Cage... LET ME OUT!

MOMMA... Is his eye okay? Can you post a pic please.

Yeah, just got a scale guys. Best $25 spent this week! Digital, Calibrated. Dennis likes to sit on it too! IT says 350 gms Exactly. After Dinner, it was @ 368 gms.

What I forgot to mention. Dennis is 11 Weeks Plus. Learning to Fly now. Diet is LOW these days. I only feed him as much as he can take. Is 350 gms okay?

I went back to the shop today to get the papers for Dennis today. The shop-keeper told me that I was not a good parent. Dennis looked Skinny. THen the moron tells me to stick to a sunflower seed diet only so I knew he did not know what he was talking about. Then I went to the vet. HE was a nice old guy. Gentle soft spoken. He weighed Dennis and it was 350 gms (750 lbs). Is there a age chart for parrots?

Dennis loves you all toooo. *HUGS* I kiss him all the time on the beak and on the back. YEsterday he was nibbling on my face too. I guess it was my shave. I will post some again today. He is going for his First Vet visit in the afternoon. P.S For anyone in UAE, I found a certified Exotic Avian Vet in Nad Al Shaeba (Falcon) Clinic. It's somewhere near where they quarantine the Falcons.

Thanks all! Lyric: It says Dennis on his leg band. so, I though... Dave: It's a Canon.

Thanks LMG.. what about for US? I really need that one... I have a year and I am already worried.

Hello friends, I just met this friend of a friend who has a very sweet CAG. The name is Clipper and he/she is so funny. Talks, says his owner's phone number and other cool stuff. She rescued the bird and gave me tonnes of advice too. Now she asked me if she was going back to the UK, what kind of paper work would get her bird out and in UK. I just checked with the Vet and they told me that a Helth Check paper would okay the bird OUT of UAE but we need to check with UK what is it that they need. The bird has NO leg ring. Then I started thinking... I might be moving in a year to US (next summer)... So what do they need in Texas to okay the bird? I have NO Birth Certificate. Would go back to the pet store tomorrow to see if he can provide one (but highly unlikely). Any suggestions, Ideas, HELP? We do not want to loose our birds.

I'm gonna go shopping for infant food today. Specially Apple sauce. The Cerelac infant formula I bought as an emergency for Dennis can go to my Neice who wsa born last week! :woohoo: Dennis has developed a taste for corn and chic peas (Garbanzo beans)but when given a choice, he picks the corn. YEah, I'm gonna let him munch all he wants on my fingers. H'll soon learn there is no juice/milk comming out of them. NOW HOW DO I POST PICS? I HATE ASKING THIS BEING AN ENGINEER MYSELF:silly:

Lot of you know what recently happened. I've been in touch with most of the ol'timers here getting all the help I could. I am loving feeding my grey baby (I named him Dennis). I am getting the sexing kit this week. HE is a very curious little fellow at 9 weeks. He will be 10 this Friday. I have learnt a lot of new things about babies since I got him. When I picked him out of the 8 chicks the store had, I got him cause of the way he acted when he saw me. I knew he wanted to come to me. I hand feed him. I took some training at a vet on doing that. And also confirmed my technique with the store and one other vet. Just wanted to be sure, not meaning to distrust my first vet. I have a few questions that might seem silly now: 1. when do babies recognize their parents (or us humans) Human babies do that around 3-6 months of age right? So what about birds? 2. He loves to bite my fingers and nails. And he applies pressure. I just pull back and reach to touch his beak or head-scratch him. HE does not mind. I saw a spray for birds with feather plucking issues. It just makes the feathers taste bad so the bird eventually leave them alone... I just had an idea, what if I spary it on my fingers and let him bite for a while? I know nasty idea, but just wanted to check on the safety of the chemicals... It is an Italian made chemical. 3. How do you massage the crop when empty? Just rub it? top to bottom direction? 4. He had his first corn today. He LOVED it... Was later on fighting with me to get into my plate to reach it!! CUTE!! 5. I've figured a way to have birds try new foods... JUST HEAT THEM FOR ABOUT 5 SECONDS IN A MICROWAVE. The warmth makes them feel it is good or something. Cold corn was rejected... warm corn was welcome. 6. THIS IS TOO LONG NOW - Sorry!

MUSTEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE you lucky girl!

Karma for you friend for bringing that lucky bird home. We appreciate that a lot. Give it some time and it will all work out just fine. The bobbing of the head means he wants love (I think) Tail bobbing means call 911! I had a tragedy recently considering that. Let us know how it goes.

Yes, it is a fake... I have read that garbage before somewhere. That was my first thought when I opened this post. LETS NOT DELETE IT. I think we can have some fun with this one. :evil:

Forget the wars... Fairy I missed you tooo. Hugz. I am not going away this time. The baby does not leave me alone!

you peopleeeee missed meeeeee! I love you fairy!

These birds are imported here... so no idea on the breeder.

Hi, WE HAVE THE SAME BABIES and THE SAME CAGES buddy! I have named mine Dennis cause that is what was on his Band. 02 DENNIS 93. Can anyone tell me what is that supposed to mean?
