This is an excellent page! I hope no one here ever needs to use it, but it's nice to know that many eyes are on the lookout should the need every arise.

Very good Dan, and quite impressive how quickly you get gossip. I guess perhaps I better be looking over my shoulder at all times. :P I am curious how you knew I loved long hair....... :whistle:

Wow! Those are some DUMB laws! :ohmy:

I am happy to announce that Danmcq is the moderator of the Newsroom! As you know, this will be a difficult job, but Dan has proven himself over and above in the Off-Topics Room. I have no doubt he will do the same in the Newsroom! I know he has some ideas to add to this room. I look forward to seeing what he has in mind. CONGRATULATIONS DAN! {Communicate-0002011B}

Our vet, said that they can't catch colds and flu from us like humans can. But he recommended not sharing utensils and glasses, etc. just to be on the safe side. I hope others have more informed advice.

They are adorable! Yes, keep us updated!

Congratulations Melissa!! I am so happy for you! And of course I am the proudest Mom of all! You have done a wonderful job with the advice and photos you have offered to share here.

So lets keep at it, and continue changing our lifestyle to a new healthy and happier you, one post, and one word of encouragement at a time.:cheer: :cheer: I love the idea about a parrot friendly gym!! :laugh: {Communicate-0002011B}

Hi Rosie, and Welcome to our Family. You will love it here, and will learn lots. I hope to hear more from you, I'm sure you have a lot to add to this family. We love pictures, so feel free to post them.

My Avian vet says< "Absolutely NO human saliva!" We humans DO carry harmful bacteria in our mouths.

Thank you Ken. I am happy to hear of your monthly newsletter! I missed that on your web site, but I will be signing up for it!! I also look forward to seeing your documentary.

Hi Angel, and Welcome to our family. I believe it is fate that you ended up with Angel. I look forward to hearing more from you! Very nice picture!! :cheer:

Hi Kelly, and Welcome to our family.

Okay, I just made this post elsewhere, but I will repeat it here. My avian vet highly recommends lacto plus anytime our grey is ill. You put in a tsp. to 1 pint of water and use it as their drinking water for 2 weeks, followed by 1 tsp. to 1 pint of water of organic apple cider vinegar for 2 weeks. He advises all his avian patients to do this every 3 months, to keep their systems healthy from bacteria. He will use this method instead of antibiotics as much as possible. It does help a great deal.

Tami, I am so sorry for the sad news. My vet highly recommends lacto plus anytime our grey is ill. You put in a tsp. to 1 pint of water and use it as their drinking water for 2 weeks, followed by 1 tsp. to 1 pint of water of organic apple cider vinegar for 2 weeks. He advises all his avian patients to do this every 3 months, to keep their systems healthy from bacteria. He will use this method instead of antibiotics as much as possible. It does help a great deal. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Please keep us posted.

Beccy, set it up! You'll be glad you did! :woohoo:

Harley, are you returning Harley, and replacing him with another Grey?

Yes, Spooky, I would love to see a picture!!

That was cute! I have never seen Talon jump like that! I didn't know they could. :pinch:

Nice for you Kristin! It was 56 here, and very windy!! :unsure:

How about music while you walk? Or Podcasts, those are fun to listen to. :cheer:

That is so cute! Thank you for sharing that with us!!

Dan, I agree with you. I have been fighting with Talon for 2 years to get her on a pellet diet. I bought 12 different brands. I did manage to get her to eat some of the Roudybush mini's IF I mix it in with the parrot seed mix from the pet store. I do about half and half. She was on Zupreem fruit pellets when we got her from the breeder, but she decided one day, she no longer liked them. I do give her fruits and veggies. She loves the dried veggies that come from Dr. Foster and Smiths, and their fruit mix. She will get fresh as well, whatever I have on hand.
