How cute!

that's an understatement Jill!!

Okay...... Jeez Jill, you don't miss a thing...do you???? Here's the explanation: I will post an announcement when I have this feature adjusted properly and up and running....however..... .JILL can't seem to wait!! It is a reputation bar......Every member gets one green bar, after xx amount of posts, or after another member clicks on the reputation icon on the bottom left of your post, you have the option to approve or dissaprove and leave a comment. Eventually, the comments can be viewed on your profile page. Your reputation will go up, it's kind of like karma. A better explanation is coming here soon. If you look at Pearlyn's post, you will see that she has 2 green bars, that's because I have been testing my settings and adjustments on her profile. As I get everything working properly, I will post a tutorial on how the system works in it's entirety. It takes many reputation clicks to add to the green bar. There is a limitation, you will see that as you go. SO...PLEASE BE PATIENT, I HAVE RUN INTO SOME PROBLEMS AND AM TRYING TO TROUBLESHOOT THEM IN BETWEEN MY REAL JOB...

Thanks, and I will help you anyway I can I'm glad your here in our family too!

I have posted photo's of Nilah, but I will repost them. I do know for a fact that she is a Yellow Crown Amazon, well all her paperwork from the breeder and various other breeders and owners have said they agree. She is an incredible talker, but I think that is due to her breeder and care as a baby. She was bred from the best and never caged, and was hand handled from the day she was born by various people. Well, that's my reasoning anyways....

i know.... i sent this request to the tech guys..........their reply.........................we will get to it when the more important issues are fixed.................well, it takes time to fix those more important things i guess..........

Well, I just learned after looking at the difference in coloring between NIlah and the video that Dave posted, that Nilah looks quite different. I now see that Yellow Crowned Amazons are not the same as Yellow Naped Amazons...I was told and some research says they are the same. But I just learned they are not! Any info anyone has on the difference would be greatly appreciated. I would love to learn the difference besides coloring. :rolleyes:

Jooles...give it a day or so, it shows up in your profile in the back end. When I did this for Judy, it took a day or so to take effect....it should kick over here soon....

Well everyone......please read my announcement concerning images and photo's, you will find the answer to your questions there...:0 http://www.greyforums.net/forums/announcement.php?f=24

Happy St George's Day to all!!

Yea, it does take the smaller dvd's . Thanks for your help!

Okay....GRRRRRRR.............................thanks Dan, I'm just being lazy..........Thanks for the quick and concise instructions. I will set up the camera and try and get Nilah 0n video. One question, I have a dvd recorder, can't I just put the dvd in my dvd drive on my computer and do it that way? I have so many cables and plugs, finding the right one for my camera is an overwhelming task.

Okay Okay Okay.........I got the USB cable part, but putting it in my computer so I can find it again..............well, that's overwhelming to me.....

Awww. Sorry to hear of Kim's accident. Hope your being a good nurse and caretaker! Dan wrote: "It is believed by most, that our parrots are communicating a ton to us and we are missing it." This, I believe is the truest statement, and yet, one that makes me sad...that in our very busy lives. we tend to miss most of these signs.. I believe that our birds are very capable of talking to us and communicating to us via our language. Talon always says, "Thirsty Bird" when she wants a drink, and yes...she is very picky, she prefers juice over water and will say it continually until one of us gets her some juice. Nilah, still calls me, "Bird" and then says in a relieved tone, "Hi Bird..." when she sees me. Talon and Rikki always say "Bye Bye" when I leave.

Talon always says, "Be back soon, okay?" When I tell her to step up in the morning after I have showered and am ready to leave for work. She also does it any time I get a "special" noodle treat out of the cupboard, as she knows she only gets this type of noodle when I put her in her play cage which means I am leaving. Rikki, Talon & NIlah (amazon) also say, "Time for nuh nites" and "Wanna go nuh nites" when it gets dark out before bed.

Everyone has given you excellant advice and experienced opinions. There is not much more I can add that others haven't already said, except one thing: Greys can be VERY jealous creatures, especially once they have bonded with that special person in their home, which sounds to me like you would be the chosen one. I know that personally, I would never have been able to handle a grey when my children were that young. My youngest is now 11 and we have had our birds for 4 1/2 years. Best of luck, I am sure you will make the best decision for everyone.

Please take advantage of our many Profile Settings and List your Birthday! It will show up on our Forum page when it is your Birthday, also I am working on setting it up on your posting page under your avatar. You DON"T have to put the year, only the month and day! :rolleyes:
