Talon

Well, this weekend, I spent 2 full days staining my front porch and decks. So, I wasn't in the house for most of that time. The week prior to this, Talon has taken to flying onto the window sill, and chewing the wood that snaps onto the frame to make the windows look like panes. She's destroying them! All the kids were doing was picking her up and moving her when she would do this, and say nothing to her. I would at least tell her NO! So, I explained to them that they had to at least let her know, that it was not okay to do, and when they moved her they should tell her NO! Well......while I was out for those 2 days, they did one better, they would pick her up when she flew there and started chewing, and say, "Bad Bird, Bad!" (I didn't know this was going on) So come Monday morning, the kids were off to school, and as Talon and I ate breakfast, all she could say was "BAD BAD BAD BAD, BAD BIRD!" She did this for 3 days!!! :pinch: I felt so sorry for her, I kept telling her she was a good bird, not a bad bird. It didn't seem to matter to her though.

Dan.......YOU NEVER GOT MY PICTURES????!!!!!!! {Feel-bad-00020079} OMG! I thought that was you all this time sending me those pm's.......I wonder who it really is! :laugh: :laugh: :whistle:

That is sooooo adorable! You are very lucky to have two greys to experience their love and developing relationship with. I envy you, sure makes you want to get another! :pinch:

OMG! {Feel-bad-00020072}

These are so funny! Especially after the bad day we had today, thanks for the pick-me-up! You're a sweetheart!! {Feel-good-000200A2}

This is soooo cute! I love the pictures!! {Love-000200BF}

Yea.....but I HATE the smell of vinegar.:pinch: I'd rather buy the nicer smelling environmentally safe cleaners for my house!

Laurie, THAT'S TERRIFIC!! Whatever your doing, keep it up, it's working for you. B)

WOW! These are great photos's. I can't believe we're going to have to pick a favorite......

I use it, it's much safer than regular household cleaners, and much less fragrant. B)

Goody, Goody! I can't wait to see these. Great job Talonsis!! :woohoo:

WOW! Thanks for the update! Good luck getting those birds to bed tonight!!

This is funny! But all kidding aside. Dishwashers using dish washing soap is fine. I run mine at night when Talon is upstairs in her sleep cage, so no problems.

I've never even heard of it. :ohmy:

What a scary way to wake up! I hope you find out what it was. Let me know, I'm curious. :huh:

Welcome! I don't have any hands on experience with a rescue, but many members here do. I'm sure they will give you the advice you are looking for very soon. Please keep us posted, and I'm glad you joined!

Makena, You poor thing. I would NEVER give medications such as that to any bird. Dan is correct, this is a behavior problem that is only recent. I would wait until you move, and settle in, and are able to see the avian vet there for help with this. Please keep us updated.

Wow the others have said it all. My advice is simple, don't do it! there are so many other ways to make money, breeding birds is not one of them.

Tracy, I just love this room!! It is definitely my favorite room to visit. These pictures are so nice to see, especially since some of us have never experienced seeing our grey at such a young age. :cheer:
