Talon

Birdhouse, although your post led me to tears...you are 100 percent right...as sad as that is...

i think it's thought provoking..will be interested to read what others post.

This is a thought that I think most of us here have thought about at one time or another. I know I have, my birds were always a pet somewhere since they were born. They know nothing but living as a pet. In my opinion, letting them go free would be a disservice to them in so many ways..As much as they have wild instincts, they would never survive here in the wild when they only know the safety of their home and food and water being given to them on a daily basis. I am their flock, they would be lonely and lost, and would die very quickly....my job is to give them the best life I possibly can, protect them at all costs. And that is what I do each and every day. my birds have the largest cafes possible, are out as much as possible, and I have built them an outdoor bird room that they can use when it's not winter. Very interesting topic, there is one of theses in our archives, but it's buried too deep to find.

Hi and Welcome to our family! I look forward to hearing more. We love pics!!

Wow, what an ordeal. Great to hear from you. Keep us updated, and bes of luck!

Everyone good now?

I all about bribing... Especially when it comes to my Amazon, Nilah! I say you do what works.

So pretty!

Are you,guys still,having problems?

I have stayed home for my pets...... Never ever have I been on a date in a restaurant and my newly ex and his date came in and was seated to the table right beside ours.....

Wow! That's an incredible fact. I love looking forward to your knowledge, we never know what you'll teach us next!

Any updates??.

Oh how I love Greyie videos!!! She's a character, love her!

Does anyone here subscribe to Squawk Box? Just curious how your finds like it. I can imagine my greys would be frightened to death of it, but my amazon would LOVE it! It's seems a bit pricey, but you do get a lot.

Oh, my heart is so sad....prayers, good thoughts and sending lots of prayers your way.

Oh my gosh! I LOVE that pic!!! That's the most beautiful bat I've ever seen!!!!!

Thank you for the answer!

Aww........nooo.....

Aww. Yes, I have Talon as my troublemaker. Mostly you hear, Talon get out of the cupboard, Talon, get off the door, Talon, stop chewing that....Talon stop going after Nilah.... Then there is Nilah herself.....if she is not on me which is most of the time when I get home from work, she has to be watched almost every minute, she will go anywhere and everywhere, I find her chewing the toothpaste tube in the bathroom, chewing the dental floss case, chewing scissors, screw drivers , anything she can get her beak on...if it's quiet......I know she's into something.

Aww. Your just the best! You are so full of knowledge and ideas, you have no idea what an asset you are to us and how much I, as well as many have learned from you. Love you ❤️

Thank you everyone for all the beautiful birthday wishes ! You truly made my day so much more special!!

I could pick out Talon, she has a red factor spot on her right shoulder. Rikki has an overgrowth flake on the top of her beak that continually grows even after it gets flicked off. Nilah..only by her voice

All 3 of my parrots were clipped when I got them..I allowed their wings to grow out so they could fly. I would NEVER do that to any bird. To me, it's like cutting off someones legs! Just my opinion & my beliefs.

For me..I bought Talon for my son who was 16 at the time & had been doing his research for 2 years. When I divorced his father, he gave me Talon as I spent more time with her, a decision he regrests now, but has since rescued his own cag. Rikki my cag, was a rescue from a member on this forum. Nilah, my amazon was bought on the spare of the moment at one of the biggest Bird Stores in the country, I brought my kids with me on my yearly trip to buy toys & they begged for her...of course I said no, but she immediately copied a sound I made to her...that was it..she was coming home with me...:0

Thank you everyone for the wonderful birthday wishes! THANK YOU Judy for being so thoughtful, you've always been one of my dear friends.❤️❤️ Ray, it was probably the best birthday I've had ever!! ❤️
