Talon

HEY! I like that idea Dave! Maybe it's time to re-invent myself, after all, I'm at that age......:blink:

Thanks guys, so far she's not the least bit interested in anything NEW!!! Even tho she's been looking at it for weeks!

That's so cute! Thanks Judy!!

Very cute! B)

Happy Birthday!! It is Rikki's too! {Nature-0002008E}

Well, Talon has done it! She has started hanging out on the back of the couch when I am watching tv. She was pulling my hair with her beak and I was getting a little upset at her because she wouldn't stop and it kind of hurt!! :ohmy: . My kids said, "Mom, it's okay, she's only preening you, she loves you!" So...of course my heart melted at that thought, :kiss: and I allowed her to preen me. Well, 4 days of preening later, when I looked in the mirror.....:ohmy: I look like Dennis the Menace, with a cowlick sticking up on the top of my head!! :pinch: Her "preening" was breaking off my hair which happens to be very fine... :( I have about 2-3 inches of hair sticking up off the top of my head!! :blink:

Just wanted to announce that Rikki is 3 years old today!:woohoo: We are pampering her of course, bought some new toys, and a huge ball that hangs and has toys hanging inside of it. But her favorite thing to do is hang around on my shoulder. She doesn't play much unless I leave and she goes in her cage. Happy Hatchday RIKKI! {Holidays-0002013E}

Well, first let me say welcome. Maybe you could tell us something about yourself. I see you have been posting like crazy. There are threads here already about how karma works. But there aren't many members up yet. I am sure you will receive karma very soon.

SO SAD,

That's a great idea! I have done that before, and they do seem to like it. A small cardboard box is fun, They love to climb in it, chew it up, and if you put some hidden toys inside, they love that too!

Try a tv or video for entertainment. Personally, I would NEVER give an anti-phycotic drug to my birds. :ohmy:<br><br>Post edited by: Talon, at: 2008/12/13 17:58

Beautiful entries!! B)

I hate rollercoasters. I am afraid of heights!! :pinch:

I am so happy for you! Sounds like a wonderful time. Maybe I should start saving now to take my kids there. They've never been, and I haven't been since I was 18. :unsure:

That was great!! Thank you Dan!! {Feel-good-0002006E}

oops, almost forgot about you! How was your vacation? Did you enjoy it? Are you all rested? You must have had a blast with your family and grandkids! :cheer:

AWWWW..... I bet this is the longest day of your life. I am sure they will be so excited to see you!! I wish I could watch the reunion, it would be fun to see. :cheer: Did they go somewhere else in new cages? Have they been their before? Do they know her? What time are you getting them? Inquiring minds want to know.......:blink:

Jane that is hilarious!! :laugh: :laugh: cflanny, that is adorable. I know when I am sick on the couch, Talon will just perch on me all day and stay quiet while I rest. It's amazing how in tuned they are with us.

I'm not sure. I've never dared move it. But both my birds tend to hang out on the right side of their cages. :dry:

I am very interested in this. I just purchased one of the same lights for Rikki, (she hasn't had a light until now) I bought it much cheaper at a different site though. She has had it 2 days, but has spent very little time in her cage the last few days because I have been home. My problem is, I cover her cage at night, and have to take it off every night. :pinch: Talon has had a light for about 2 1/2 years, but she also spends very little time in her cage, but when I am at work, she is sitting on the opposite side of the cage. Her light is on her left side of her cage, whereas Rikki's is on top.

I would like to add that our birds are the luckiest birds on the internet, to have Dave here to remind us, and help us with give the best care possible to them!! A BIG THANK YOU TO YOU DAVE!! {Love-000200BF}

This is a wonderful article worthy of publishing on our front page Dave! :cheer: I commend you for taking the time out of your life to remind us of the importance, of our birds right to the type of life that they deserve from us. Karma for you!

Plus its festive! Melissa

OMG! I am a daily regular at Starbucks, and once a week I treat the kids and bring home those trays with hot chocolate. I just threw one away this morning. I LOVE this toy! It is so easy, clever, and something I have every day!! LOTS OF KARMA FOR YOU! :woohoo: :woohoo:

Welcome to our family! Congrats on the new addition, and karma for you for taking the time to "borrow" a grey to try out. Quite unusual I might add, but to each his own. My heart goes out to the borrowed grey. It is perfectly normal for your grey to be silent. Gosh, you've only had her for 2 days! :ohmy: It takes a long time for them to adjust to their new family, new surroundings, perhaps new toys, a cage, new sights and sounds, etc. Please give it time and be patient. Greys will bite! So, don't put your face close to hers unless and until you have complete trust and are bonded with her. That takes TIME..... If she wil step up with you, that's great! COntinue if she is willing, but let her take the lead and keep an eye on her body language.
