I have 2 dogs, 2 cats, 2 greys and 1 Amazon. All my 4 legged pets are afraid of my parrots....due to the fact that my Amazon will go after them and bite them to get them away from my lap. They all co exist nicely under my supervision.
Today is Talon's double digit birthday! She turned 10 today! She is the oldest of all my animals. And I didn't get her anything just yet......but I have been singing Happy Birthday to her today..to which she echos.....yoooouuuuu!
BIRDHOUSE:
YES! Let's have a pumpkin contest! Please post photos under this thread which I am going to rename. I don't want to start a new thread as you guys have some great ideas for us newbies when it comes to pumpkins.
RULES: there are none, post away but please get your photos up before Thanksgiving here in the U.S. No limit to the number you can enter, but they must have a bird and pumpkin in the picture. We will ve able vote once all the pics are up!
The WINNER: will receive a higher rep power. And the title of Pumpkin Contest Winner 2015 under their name on all posts!
I use Nickelodeon on the tv about 3 days a week, another day I play the Bird sitter dvd, and one day I play a repeated cd of songs for my Amazon as she loves to sing. Also I put toy buckets in their cages, small wooden toy parts wrapped individually in paper or coffee filters or baking cups. Phone books Are fun or small cardboard boxes for them to chew up
Welcome to our family! Sounds like you have lots of experience to share with us. I hope soon you will post pics of your flock and I look forward to hearing more!
Yes, Talon had got her eye burned by perching on her boing in her cage with the light on top. It was almost 3 weeks and 2 vet visits and a week of antibiotic drops in her eye....as the vet thought she had an infection, not a burn, turned out to be a burn. I throw the lite in the trash and bought a feather brite that sits on her cage
Talon will sit on the back of the chair watching it, she seems to really be interested. Rikki.....no way...she is certain it was brought into the house to murder her!
I just bought a 5 tier running water fountain for indoors for my parrots. I will post a pic soon. It recycles the water with a pump so there isnt fresh water coming thru it. Is there anything I can put into the water that would be safe? I have been researching it and I have heard copper pennies or a small piece of copper pipe to keep the slime at bay in between water changes.
