Talon

All my cages are light tan.

The larger the better. Many others have not liked the corner cages. They seem to have less width for wing span, just a thought

Wow! Thanks looks like greyt fun!

You have to do an advance search to get the information you are looking for

I have 2 greys and an Amazon. My schedule went from 4 people minimum in my house , and me being home much of every day with my birds out of their cages, to just me and my 17 year old who is rarely home, to me working 9-10 hour days 5 days a week and them only out when I get home in the evenings during the week. . I have extra large cages for them, leave the tv on when I am gone, but I feel very guilty. They seem to have adjusted ok, I know they would prefer more time outside as before, but when they are out, they are the center of attention as I go about my evening.. I include them in everything I do. In the mornings as I get them breakfast, I am constantly talking to them so they get some attention. I find them to adapt very well to changes as long as you their flock member is consistent with the attention they get quality wise.

OMG!!!!! I love that! Instructions on your set up please!!! That is the coolest thing I've ever seen!

HAPPY 5th BIRTHDAY Gracie!!! Maybe a video of you getting Bird-day cake???? We love your videos!! Hope daddy is spoiling you with lots of new toys to destroy!

Boy I've missed these tidbits od information to keep us learning!!

Wow, I had no idea!

Ray, no apology necessary. As family and a fellow Amazon owner, I completely understand how difficult it is to move on after such a tragic loss. Coming here and the constant reminders that are here has got to be very difficult. The love of an Amazon, it is a bond like no other creature. It can never be put into words, it is only something you can experience . Many will not understand what I mean, but I know you do. My heart has ached for you every day since we lost Cricket. But it is Thanks to Cricket , that I have the relationship I do with Nilah. Why I have undying love for her, and undying patience when she acts out like an Amazon will. Cricket and you have taught me so much about my Nilah. I only wish that one day you will again find happiness with another Amazon that needs all you have to give.

Wow!! Lucky you!!

That is a riot Ray!

Well, Nonsense knows her mother. If what I read is correct, nonsense lived with your girlfriends mom, so she knows her a and has already established a relationship with her so I'm not at all surprised. It takes so long for a grey to accept change and learn to build a relationship. That's something if you try to rush takes way longer than normal.

Bahahahahahaaaaa!!!!!! :rolleyes:

Does TeFal cookware contain Teflon? Finding mixed reviews online. Wondering if that are safe for my parrots

I agree with Greywings and Timbersmom.....my Amazon has taken to screaming at the window, NO NO NO and whatever else I can't understand in the mornings....it is quite annoying a, but when she does it and it lasts about 15 minutes . I immediately stop talking and ignore her completely.....its been months, but I refuse to acknowledge her behavior. Just something that comes with owning a parrot. You can't control their behavior as much as you wish!

There are multiple stickies with very pertinent information in many of our rooms. As we are not vets, and behavior specialists, we welcome the advice from our experienced members in our stickies. The reason being, there is no set way to interact with birds as far as diet, training, etc. what works for one personality, won't work for another when it comes to parrots.....so the more advice we have the better choices and options you have to try. IN OWNING A PARROT, YOU HAVE TO HAVE AN OPEN MIND or YOU WILL HAVE PROBLEMS IN YOUR INTERACTIONS.....Just my opinion. And I do have the final say regarding stickies...:cool: But appreciate any and all suggestions and opinions.

Great thread! I have some reservations about posting signs I have birds....it's also an invitation to break in and steal them...so it's a personal decision.

Oh I'm so sorry...what happened? They do hide their illnesses from us very well..

Put her cage outside, continue talking to her, and don't let her out of your site. Constant talking and treats . Hurry

Omg! My heart is pounding! You are so lucky! Phew!!,

That's is hysterical! You definitely need some more meds!! Lol

Yes, this is very out of character ....

Nancy, your letting Sophie go....??????

Thank you Inara, very thought provoking and helpful.
