Talon

............................................................................................................................................??????????????????????????????????????????????????????? I can't imagine......:pinch:

She may be a little quiet when you get home, but I expect very soon after she will be happy she is home and back to her own routine with your tlc. If you are too worried about the visit and how she will be, she will sense that and pick up on it before hand and will become nervous.....:huh:

I'm sure all will go well today. Poor Josey, she has never had the chance to fly??? I expect a full report asap as soon as you are able...:huh:

Thanks everyone for such lovely compliments to Nilah! She is a beauty, and she is exceptionally smart! She hears you say something or sing a line from a song only twice, and she is repeating it. She loves to talk to you in conversation. Of course you can't always tell what she is saying, but she continues on anyways. She already says, Heelllllooooo! Pretty Bird, Your a Good bird, and my favorite..."Rikki talks alot". :laugh: :laugh: What a different personality she has as compared to my greys. NOTHING Phases her, she likes everything I feed her the first try, (I don't even have to eat it first), loves every toy the first time she sees it. I took her in the shower which my greys think was designed to kill them, and she loved it! The bird store unfortunately cut her nails so short, she can't grasp anything! I have had to cover everything with vet wrap to help her get some traction. She can't balance herself when standing on you, so we really can't walk with her perched on our arm or shoulder. She walks onto you like she is walking on glare ice. Poor thing Her wings are also clipped so she can't fly even the least little bit. She doesn't know what step up means, but yesterday, she was catching onto that! She's fun and I have a lot of research to do on amazons since she is my first one. Rikki and Talon aren't wuite sure where their place is with her yet. Rikki has been trying to make friends, (Nilah seems to like her) but she's very cautious because she is bigger than her. Talon doesn't seemed phased by her at all. They are still all settling in, but in time I am sure things will be fine. The best thing of all is SHE DOESN'T AND WON'T BITE!!!!!!!! I'M LOVING IT!! :woohoo: I'll keep you updated. Time to go get them up for their oatmeal and whole grain toast! :side: :silly:

I wouldn't worry about it. There is not enough caffeine in it to hurt them from a tiny sip or two.

{Feel-good-000200A2} Yea, I'm just an old softeee. My family thinks I've lost my mind!! :blink:

Yea, good luck getting out of their without buying a bird...it's impossible!!

Okay, finally back from a very long and fun weekend! What a store! I have never seen so many toys in my life. It puts you into overload!! :pinch: There are rooms and rooms of toys, birds, food, toys and more toys. Hanging perches, tree stands, table stands, lights, treats, a boarding facility, a nursery, a room to sit and spend time with birds, and 2 rooms filed with birds!! What a place!! It is worth the trip to see it. I'd love to go back again!! I bought a lot of things for my birds, they will be very happy for the next couple of months. And FYI, YES! I did come home with another bird, not a caique or electrus, but a Yellow Nape Amazon! She is a doll!

Well after my weekend in the Bird of Paradise Superstore, I came home with a Yellow Crown Amazon. She is so sweet. She's 7 months old, and a doll. She can mimic you so very quickly. She loves to just hang out with us. Her wings are clipped, so she stays put. They trimmed her nails so short, she can't balance herself very well, she has nothing to grip onto, so she doesn't feel comfortable when you walk with her. Hopefully they will grow back soon. We named her Nilah. Talon seems to be curious with her, but Rikki is scared of her, probably because she is bigger than her. I will post pictures soon. And YES, for those of you that were following my other thread, I bought Lots and Lots of toys!! :blink: :P

Yes I do need 5. :laugh: :laugh:

I have 4 now.....one coming for sure in the future......do I really need 5 now??? :whistle: :silly: :pinch: :side:

Okay, Thanks Judy!!! I think I'm leaning towards that too, IF I BRING ONE HOME.....

Today's the day!! I'm headed to New Jersey.......and YES< I have my bird carrier in the car......I don't need another bird, but I have the feeling I won't be able to say NO! Looks like maybe a Caique or an Electus. Any suggestions? I want a friendly, calm, easY going bird that my kids can easily handle. I have my hands full with Rikki the BOSS! :laugh:

Talon loves to hold an ice cube and suck on it. But her most favorite thing is when I put a handful of SNOW in her bowl and she plays in it and eats it! :woohoo:

I am happy to hear that Jamal. Safety first should be everyone's motto, if it was, then maybe we wouldn't hear so many stories about clipped birds flying away..... Karma for you!!
