Talon

I agree with Dan with Tycos-mom and JUdy. I would never clip my birds wings. I have windows all over my house, and have rarely seen them fly into them. MY 2 birds are out of their cages most of the day. You can hang things in the windows so they understand it won't take them outside. They do need to learn to fly, both my birds were clipped when they came to me. I quickly allowed them to grow and learn to fly. Talon learned at a young age as we had her at 2 1/2 months old. Rikki, we got when she was 2, we have had her a year this week, and she finally has mastered flying, but still isn't quite as good as Talon yet. I'm sure you can see that I am completely against clipping for many reasons which I won't get into, but I do understand that people have their own reasons for doing it. B)

That's clever! :)

Very cute!! You do good work! :)

I agree in some aspects, but let's not forget Elvis, and the mockery that surrounds him and his death...it's all about selling news papers, increasing ratings, etc. every human being deserves to finally find peace. I hope that all the recent celebrities, Michael Jackson, Ed McMahon, Farrah Fawcett, Billy Mays, all have found the peace they deserve. :huh:

Casper, you are so right, just last night, my mother and her husband stopped by unexpectedly for a visit. I said, "let's go sit in the living room" and when we did, there was bird poop all over the loveseat and sofa....:blink: I had to clean it off before they dared to sit. You should have seen their faces..... :unsure: :ohmy: Didn't phase me at all.<br><br>Post edited by: Talon, at: 2009/06/30 20:19

Toni, the makeover that is going on near me is near Springfield, MA

Yes, Talon does that blood curdling scream as well. When I brought our new kitten home, she spent the first day dive bombing the poor thing and screaming at it in that God awful sound. She let that kitten know right off the bat whose house this really was....:evil: She also makes that screaming sound when I get the long handled purple duster out of the broom closet to dust off the ceiling fans or the corners of the room. But she also flies at it as she screams! :evil: :blink:

Extreme Home Makeover is in a city just 25 miles away from me right now making over a house for a family that has 4 children and several nieces and nephews living with them. They lost their house to a fire last winter, It was built this past week! A million dollar home!! :woohoo:

Tycos-mom, I am so happy to know that I will not be alone in trying to fix my house up one day. It's so hard to see the destruction they have done, but I wouldn't give them up, or their ability to fly around my house for anything. You would think they are doing this out of boredom, but the truth is, when we go outside on the front porch, or the back deck, they want to come, so they fly to the window sill, and use the panes to hold onto while they watch us....:blink:

OMG! There are so many things....let's see, Laptop, ALL cords to the electronics, like 100 pair of ipod headphones, my Blackberry, my keyboard, the tops of the wooden doors in my house, many shower curtains, many broken dishes as Rikki LOVES to push them onto the ceramic tile floor and watch them smash! Dvd cases, and last but not least, Probably the most expensive.....the wooden window panes in my BRAND NEW HOUSE!!!!!!

Karma to you for being so loving to these birds! Bless you and your family and flock.B)

I'm so sorry, my thoughts and prayers are with you.

Very Nice Janet! I love your enthusiasm. :woohoo: I especially LOVE the karma incentive!! Let's go everyone......get your karma asap! {Communicate-00020117}

WHAT?!?!?!? :ohmy: Doing what...........wait, don't tell me............you sat at your computer all day playing in the forum? :whistle: :whistle: :whistle: :whistle:

Chimaysmommy, I can't agree more with you. It is a sad day, but I hope he finally is at peace, because after all the accusations, not findings of guilt, his life spiraled out of control into destruction. I personally don't believe he deserved what happened to him. His music and talent is untouchable.

yup, I'm all alone.......:huh:

Great Judy! :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: I have a myspace, but never use it. I use Facebook daily...in fact several times a day. B)

I am resurrecting this again...THANKS TO JUDY!!! :whistle: :silly:

This is hilarious!! I would love to be a fly on the wall at your house and watch all the fun you have with these two precious babies!! :woohoo:

Dave, what did you do to that man to deserve the top bunk??????? :lol: :whistle:

Yes, you can steam clean a cage. I personally would use a bird safe cleaning product. I am sure others here will chime in with better advice. B)

Welcome to our newest room! Let's talk about finding our birds the best housing possible. Pictures welcomed, so post a picture of your cage or aviary. Here's Rikki's cage:

I have the 14' Jolly Ball. Mine came with the toys inside and out. Talon LOVES IT!! She spends time inside as I leave little toys and treats in it for her sometimes. She will preen herself inside it also. Rikki wants nothing to do with it tho. Talon will go to any toy without fear, she didn't when she was younger, but now she does. :blink:
