Talon

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.

That's interesting, not something my birds have ever done so I can't offer any explanations. One of my guys does "beak" my finger, but not swallow it. It's an affectionate thing she does to me as she coos and rubs her head on my hand.

Welcoming to our family! I love the pics and look forward to hearing more about Spy and your family.

2 of my three parrots like juice. It's my tag , Talon's bedtime ritual, she says "thirsty bird", and that's my order to get her her nighttime juice she drinks out of a glass I hold for her, when she's done, she pushes the glass away with her beak, wipes her beak on her swirly perch, then steps up and I put her to bed!

I have a tag and a cag. They are not head shakers either!

Love the video! Definitely gives us all ideas!

Inara, You our completely wrote my feelings. Thank you for understanding.....

Great thread ! Can't wait to read the suggestions!

Welcome to out greyt family! What a wonderful introduction! I look forward to hearing me, seeing pictures and all you contribute to our family!
