Talon

Okay, Judy and Bernie......STOP DERAILING THOSE OF US IN THIS GROUP!! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: First of all, NO ONE should ever diet....you should only modify your life style into a healthier one, and in doing so, you will lose any excess weight, build your immune system, and feel better and healthier than you could imagine. Encouragement is why we have this group. :cheer:

You need to take your bird to a vet asap!!! Don't wait, there could be an infection.

WOW! I would love to ave one for my birds. IS there a way David would explain what it is made out of....:huh:

Welcome to our family. The forum can be a bit intimidating at first, but after a while, it will seem easy to you. Please feel free to ask if you need any help finding your way around. I look forward to hearing more from you and am anxious to see and hear about your flock at home! B)

Pearl, that is a great bed. Did you make it? Talon would love it!! She has a hut right now, but she' too big for it so she sleeps on the top of it...:blink:

We have a "How much does your grey weigh" thread in the Grey Lounge. Amazons can be so much bigger, I would like to know how much Your Amazon Weighs. Nilah at 8 months weighed 390 grams

Nilah was able to talk when I got her at 6 months old. they are soooo smart!! As for the duet......be careful what you wish for....:laugh:

I err on the side of caution, and am very vigilant about NOT letting my birds have the seeds. It is a personal choice. B)

I LOVE this thread!!! Nilah just turned 9 months yesterday, and she says many things, but my most favorite is, "Want a cup of coffee?" in a Brooklyn, New York accent. I am from New England, not New York, but I taught it to her in a NY accent as I have a dear friend from there and he loves coffee. :laugh:

WOW! How beautiful....

2 of my 3 birds can fly, but they do loves to walk around on the floor and explore as well. B)

How exciting!! Can't wait for pictures!! :woohoo:

Nilah being 9 months old is still young, but she loves to sing thew scales in La la la la la la laaaaaaaaa. WHe I pretend (yes, it's pretty bad) to sing an opera scale, she LOVES it and copies me. :laugh:

I put the tv on....Nick Jr. But twice a week, I put the Bird Sitter dvd in for them. I like them to learn the other bird sounds. B)

Although we all know how dangerous and deadly this could be, not to mention how lethal a cats saliva is to a bird. I thought this was cute and wanted to share it. http://video.yahoo.com/watch/5737286?fr=yvmtf

Owen is adorable! Thank you for sharing his story with us.

Uh oh...I dropped it! I LOVE it!!:woohoo:

Cooper is so cute!! That's an adorable video. Thank you for sharing....

WOW! 28 species.....I am amazed at this breed of parrots. Thank you everyone for sharing all this information. B)

I couldn't agree more with everything you all said!

Beautiful photo's Dave!!! If you haven't figured it out by now... I love Amazon's!! :woohoo: :woohoo: But my vote is that each bird is unique in it's own personality. You really can't predict who will get along with who....alot depends on the owner and how they handle the birds.

WOW! I too, love the plexi-glass idea for the top of the cage. I took my tray out because it was dark. What a great idea!!

She's famous!!! How exciting!!!!! Congratulations!!!

Morning update! Just got Rilli up for breakfast. She ate some oatmeal, a little peanut butter toast. She prefers to just stay on my shoulder and preen. She is somewhat quieter than usual. Just wants her mommy... I haven't put anything on her foot, I can't see anywhere that it might hurt her, and I know she would just lick off whatever I put on it. It seems to be the bottom since she holds it up sometimes. Also what ever I put on it would come off as soon as she perches somewhere...:huh:
