Talon

YES, I took the test after a year and a half of calling Talon a "HE", it turned out HE was a SHE!! And we love her just the same, just found I treated her more gently... :P

HELLO Everyone! Here's is a thread that was started about our greys ages and birthdays. Check it out! http://www.greyforums.net/forums/african-grey/14795-birthdays-for-our-greys.html#15092 BTW< Talon is now 2 years and 8 months old.

Awwwww....I'm so sorry. I love cats, and I know your heart is breaking right now. But she's in a happy place waiting and watching over you. One day, I believe you will once again be with her. My condolences.

WOW! What a sight to see. I would want to take them all home as well! I hope they find loving permanent homes for them, although they seem so happy to be living together.

I do!! I would love to have the innocence, the happiness, the wonder of the world, life before it became too complicated, that many children still manage to hang on to. If we, as adults, still hand some of that, this world would be a very different place. :dry:

Me too....

Thanks for mentioning it. Thats a piece of advice that makes perfect sense, but I never thought about before. I will leave the light off for the rest of the week, and see if the redness goes away. Her eye is not red when I get her up from her sleep cage in the am. :dry:

I WOULD LIKE TO THANK EVERYONE FOR CLEANING THIS THREAD UP. I have been working the entire weekend, otherwise I would have done it myself. This could have really gotten out of hand, since you treated each others with dignity and respect for the most part, I will give karma to everyone here.B)

WOW! I too loved the last one. I really appreciate you sharing your photos with us. I love to see other parts of the world that I have never seen.

WOW! That is stunning! Thank you so much for sharing that photo with us. Absolutely beautiful....:cheer:

I LOVE IT! {Characters-0002005D}

OMG, Dan!! I had no idea about the light. She was in her play cage today for about 4 hours, and her eye was a little red, but not anywhere near as bad as before. Maybe I better just shut off the old light for now. It never gave her any problems before. The light isn't tall enough to reach the top of her cage. I have it on a high stool already. :dry:

Dan, that is adorable. He really loves his baths!! :woohoo: Thanks for sharing that with us!!

Thanks Judy, I will let you know. It's funny, looking back, the vet did say her bacteria level wasnn't that high, but because of the redness around her eye, felt there might be more to it, and the meds were the best way to knock anything out.:dry:

Okay, here's the latest update. Talon finished her meds 2 1/2 days ago. Her eye looks great in the am, and when she is out of her cage. There is a slight pink on the top, but you can barely see it. BUT, late in the day and at night, it appears to be awfully red!! It looks terrible! After trying to figure out why it gets so red later, I am starting to realize that it appears to be after I take her out of her play cage. So, we cleaned it real well today, and thought and thought about it. The only NEW thing in and around her cage is an avian light I bought for her about 7 weeks ago. It has been 7 weeks since I have noticed her red eye. And yes, it is the same eye that the light shines on since the light is on the side of her cage. So.......I changed the light back to her old one, and I'll let you know if her red eye goes away completely. If it does, I will also tell you the brand of light that gave her the problem. It has to be the light as crazy as it seems. It is the only thing different around or in her cage. I hope I'm right, otherwise I worry about what is wrong with her. It appears to be some type if reaction to something...:huh: I will keep you posted!

WOW! Beautiful work! You are very talented. :cheer: Thank you for sharing them with us, and Thank you for the censorship in this family forum!! B) Karma for you!! :)

Great thread Graehstone!! I enjoy coming here and seeing the photo's. They usually sum up how I'm feeling, as I'm not a morning person.....:blink:

Nasy, Baytril is usually given 2 times a day for 10 days-2 weeks. You should find an avian vet and immediately take your bird in, asap. HE is a very sick bird, remember, they mask their illness so well. A good rule of thumb to follow is: If they appear sick, then they are probably VERY sick and in need of medical care. Please keep us updated, we care very much. :huh:

Welcome Wastrox and Cheerio to our family!!!!!

Gotta love em unconditionally! :kiss: B)

I hope you get him home with you very soon. Please keep us updated as I think it would be a very interesting process for us to follow, and helpful to others that may have to do the same as you. :dry:
