pigeon

I set the oil for my stirfry on fire once in a teflon pan, and it got so hot that I couldn't get the pan off the stove (I think the stove was broken)! I was so scared for the birds... I had to put them in a different room with the windows open in the -15 degree (farenheight!) weather - good thing they were okay!

I never said I was disappointed with him! Aside from making the garbage can his territory, he is the best bird ever!

Well, he's gotten to the point where if I'm in the other room watching TV or something, he'll chatter away. But once I go over and start talking to him, he'll shut right up. Oh well!

Yes, I've had him since he was a wee baby, and we syringe-fed him. We got him for like $300 from a breeder in Florida!

I have a TAG that's about 10 years old, and I have a few questions about him. 1. He shreds his tail a lot, and sometimes his chest. He never pulls them out, or bleeds or anything, but should I still be concerned, and take him to the vet? 2. He's pretty boring. He just sits there most of the time, and I've only seen him playing with his toys a few times. I'm sure he plays when nobody is home, and that he talks to himself (and our cockatiel). Should I be concerned that he doesn't seem interested? 3. Any tips on getting him to talk more? He whistled in front of me a few times in the past couple of months, but that's it. 4. Any ideas for fun toys? We just discovered a laser toy light, and he seems to have fun playing with it. 5. I live in Upstate NY. Is it okay to bring him outside when it gets warmer (it's around 60 degrees right now) and let him play in the grass? Should I be concerned about other animals getting to him, and get him a leash? I heard that some other birds like to eat dandelions - what about TAGs? Sorry for so many questions! <br><br>Post edited by: pigeon, at: 2007/05/03 20:27
