Hi & Welcome! I look forward to hearing more and seeing some pics!!

I always leave my birds cage doors open. In 5 years, I can count the number of times on one hand any of the 3 have gone back into their cage on their own. I only put them in their cages with a noodle treat when I am leaving or having company. When I return,99% of the time open their door and have them step up onto me and they all go onto their potty baskets..... The other 1% of the times, they immediately climb out of their cage and onto the top of the door waiting for me. I am happy you no longer wing clip! That's my vote!! :)

WOW! How adorable!!!!! Welcome to our Family. I look forward to hearing more and please keep those pics coming!! Don't let anyone here scare you off, if they shun you for having such a young baby. You sound like you have lots of experience and will be fine. It's just some of us lack the experience and prefer to wait for a weaned bird. I am happy you have joined us. I LOVE watching the babies grow!!

What wonderful pictures! He looks so happy and content, which I am sure he is. it is always best to hear the advice you get, but ALWAYS follow your instincts. And in this case, I am glad you did! I am so happy for you and wish to hear and see more! Please don't be a stranger for so long. You are a valued member of our family and we want to hear more!

Praying for Spock. Our poor baby has been thru so much. I hope this is just a fluke, perhaps he ate too much too fast. Please let us know how he is and what you find out...

YES!! Let's see the pics!!!

Happy Bird-day Tobie!! Hope you got lots of chewable fun toys!

Just today, there is a LOST Cockatiel in our local newspaper. Lost on June 10... The family is devastated it said. :(

Jules, it is an option for you only to log onto your Facebook. It does not give members the option to see anyone here. Just a convenience is all. . No one here can see you except your Facebook friends.

Nope, I am a faithful Blackberry only owner. Sorry...

Yes, my birds will come to me in my house when I call them. I did not teach that to them, they just seem to have realized that when I call their name loudly and tell them where I am, they will fly to me and I praise them. I suppose, you could say, they are trained....

I am so sorry... Prayers coming your way.

I am a strong believer in not trying to teach recall training. Why? Because it scare the bee gee bers out of me..... I couldn't bear with the thought of losing my birds, so I protect them from ANY chance I can of losing them. I have read too many stories of birds escaping or not returning and it frightens me to death. How's that for a closed mind....

Hi Mark & Welcome to our family. I am so happy you are doing so much research into your new addition. I am sure you will figure out her physical abilities as time goes on. I have an amazon that does the same with her wings when she steps up. I attribute it to her showing off for me and getting the opportunity to exercise them as she is stlll clipped when we got her. i look forward to hearing more form you. I am sure others with more experience will be here soon to help you better.

Bird cleaner and a brush? I haven't much of a clue other than that... Sorry.

Amazon today...perhaps a grey tomorrow. Depends on the mood of the birds in my house! )

Those are adorable! Thanks for sharing with us!!

What a wonderful story. Thank you for sharing your life with Buddy with us! I look forward to hearing more and seeing pics!

Added to my Bookmarks! Thanks Jay!!

Thank you for the suggestion. But when members can't seem to move forward with out getting every last detail, comment, and opinion in, and they want to bicker with negativity, and the MAJORITY of members want to move forward, while a select few prefer to hash it out because they missed something. WE will step in and close a thread so we CAN move past it. I'm sorry if some would prefer it differently, this is what makes Greyforums different from others. As I previously stated in other threads, if some members don't like our code of ethics in the way we treat each other with , they are free to find another forum and many times they do. There are hundreds of African Grey forums out there in the world wide internet.

I think Spock has been kept in his cage a bit too long...LOL! :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JUDY! :) :) Judy, you have been a wonderfully loyal friend from the beginning. You have always been a phone call away when I have a question, need help or just need a friend. I feel so blessed to have you in my life. May you have the best birthday ever. Margarita's, good food, presents and a fun day! Love you girl. Penny

I am so happy for you & Emma!! Great NEWS!!

Again. Enough said. CLOSED

Nothing that needs repeating, re hashing or explaining anymore. Time to move forward. Members come and go on forums. Nuff said....
