Talon

OMG! How terribly scary this is for all of us to imagine. I am so sorry for you, but am happy you were able to contain and put the fire out before the smoke affected your birds. I am so happy you all are safe. What a reminder that we should have a ready escape/rescue plan for our birds. Perhaps everyone here should think about this, plan and offer suggestions. WE WILL START A NEW TOPIC IN THE RESCUE ROOM AND MAKE IT A STICKY IMMEDIATELY!

WOW! I am glad you found this before something terrible happened. Thank you for the warning. You have to always check for hazards, don't trust the people making these toys to think about what COULD happen.... :huh:

I have read stories about things lie this. I regularly inspect Talon's hut for anything that may hurt her, or cause her to get tangles. I think if you are very cautious and careful, then it can be safe if they like it.<br><br>Post edited by: Talon, at: 2008/10/19 04:17

Well said Dan! I completely and totally agree with you. Karma for you!! Where I am from, it is very difficult to find a breeder in this state. Most of us have to go out of state to find a bird. They are rare here. No rescues, no breeders. :huh:

Good bye for now. But I expect to see you back here asap! I hope all goes well. You will be missed. Please keep in touch when you can. Best wishes, Talon B)

I use a Happy hut for Talon, she loves to sleep in it in the winter, and sleep on top of it in the summer. Rikki likes to sleep on a perch, not in a hut, but I might try again with her after I get her a new and bigger cage.

OMG!!!!.......................Does it ever end??????

Tracy, that is adorable! Thanks everyone for your wishes for a Happy Hatchday!! And Siobhan, what can I say.......gee.....thanks for reminding me........:pinch: :P

Thanks guys! I will relay this to Talon!! :cheer: :cheer:

Just wanted to wish Talon a Happy Bird-day! She turned 3 years old today!!!! I can't wait until the terrible two's stop........ {Nature-000200C9}<br><br>Post edited by: Talon, at: 2009/10/13 14:38

Yea, well I only catch the morning one, the rest go where ever they BOTH decide to go......:angry: :pinch:

Thank you Judy! Your words mean a lot to me. :kiss: Luvparrots, Thank you too!!

Guess What? After 2 1/2 months, I have Rikki potty trained just like Talon!! She now knows that after being taken out of her cage, she has to wait until I get her into the kitchen and onto her "potty basket" before she can go!! No more cleaning up that morning bomb from the floor!!!!! :woohoo: I am so proud of her! They just amaze me with their intelligence! :woohoo: :woohoo: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer:

This is hilarious!!! {Feel-good-0002006E}

Jeez, you guys have dug down deep to find this thread...it's over a year old. History!

I have many credit cards, but only one that I use for online purchases, (which are many ). This past summer I had almost $10,000 in various charges on my card over a period of 3 months. Many were for purchases out of the country. One charge was $1800 in airline tickets! Luckily for me, my credit card company canceled the card asap, and took off all the charges, but not after a lot of paperwork, and notarized statements from me for each and every charge...... I have been a customer of theirs for over 20 years, I wonder if that helped or not.

When I got my new cag, Rikki 3 1/2 months ago, she would always fly and land on my head! I hated it! I don't know if that was something she was used to doing with her previous owner, as she is such a sweet bird, but I didn't like it one bit!! Every time she did it, I had a "Hissy" fit, and she got the idea after a couple of weeks. She has never done it again to anyone! :cheer:

I love this contest!!!!!! Boy do I have some good photos of destroyed laptops, remotes, etc! :pinch: Great idea Siobhan! :woohoo: :woohoo:

Thank you for sharing your sad story with us. I am so very sorry for your loss. You, your husband and your grey are in my thoughts and prayers. I wish you all well, and please never give up on your sweet bird. This is just another example of how you should NEVER let your guard down by trusting your bird,and assuming they love us enough to stay with us, or come back to us when you call. That's not how their minds work! I only wish people would do the research and learn these facts before a tragic event like this occurs.

Remant333, What happened? How did you lose your grey? I'm curious what the circumstances where that led up to him being missing. I like to learn all I can in hopes of preventing any chance I might miss of risking being in the same situation.

UPDATE!! I have a CAG & a TAG! And I love and adore them both! :woohoo:

Nice!

How beautiful!!! She's gorgeous!
