Talon

We have quite a few new members joining us recently. I would like them to know about this thread. Everyone needs reminding every now and again......B) Start signing......:cheer:

YUP! The world is great! My youngest is finally better after 6 days of a very high fever.

Well, when you have 8 like some of us, you do tend to put them in more private places. You'll get there Judy!

Do you put the aloe in a mister with water?

:cheer: :cheer: That is so cute! Talon said, "Love ya" for the first time yesterday, and then yelled, "Matthew, Bed Now!!

She's beautiful! I'm sure you will pick out the perfect name!

YES! We need more posters, and less lurkers!!! {Characters-0002005D}

Yes, knowing the artist, and seeing their previous work is a must!! Great advice, Karma for you!

Talon too! All great advice!! They tend to fluff up more when they are sick, instead of quivering.

I have found that Talon bites more when she is tired, or bored. You really have to learn their body language. If you do, you are able to predict the bites before they start and head them off!:pinch:

3:10 to Yuma. That was a very good movie! Lots of horses and gunfire, but a surprise ending....:silly:<br><br>Post edited by: Talon, at: 2007/09/21 21:35

Good evening! 7:47 pm. Typing on a new keyboard, Talon chewed the wires on my other one! Joe, all go well at the Dr.'s? :huh:

Hi Mary, and Welcome to our family. I look forward to hearing more about your baby! Please post a picture when you can, we love em!! :cheer:

Hi Milo, and Welcome!! :cheer:

Um, excuse me here, we kind of got lost????? I wish every day was Monday!

Here's a picture of our new "Pet Raven" ! And because of our 2 cats which I have spoken about many times. We are unable to have Talon's wings clipped at all. This is a safety issue in our home. She needs to be able to stay flying UP, not headed down which wing clipping in any manner would do. We did keep her clipped for the first year of her life with us. It wasn't safe for her.<br><br>Post edited by: Talon, at: 2007/09/20 19:38

Hi Everyone! Talon will be turning 2 years old in a couple of weeks. She has definitely been in her terrible two's for a while now. She has been asserting her independence quite fiercely, she has started to bite more. She's gotten very stubborn. She thinks she has quite the sense of humor! She will try and bite you, and then laugh immediately after. :evil: She wants her own way, and will fly to you to get it. The biggest problem we are having is this, she will fly to my 12 year old son (who is as sweet as could be to her and always has been) and try and bite him. He usually can hear her flying, so he ducks out of the way, and she will land on the back of his chair and wait.....As you can imagine, this has gotten out of hand. Short of clipping her wings, which I feel very strongly about NOT doing, (but I won't get in to that again here) I usually pick her up and put her in a different room. That hasn't been working very well. So the other day, I was in a Halloween store, and saw a life size, Fake Black Raven, that had it's wings out, and had feathers on it. It's very real looking. I bought it in the hopes that it would scare Talon from attacking my son. We now keep it by my son when he's on the computer...and it keeps Talon away from him! Problem solved! (for now anyways!) B)

Talon loves to go for rides in the car. She willingly goes into her travel cage and I let her perch on top of it once she's safely in the car. She whistles and talks, and loves to watch everything go by!:cheer:

Toni, he's so sweet & cute! Thanks for sharing these pictures!! :cheer:

Hi Cindy, and Riley! Welcome to our family forum! I look forward to hearing more from you. Thanks for the picture! We love to see pictures!!

I completely agree with your statement here. A head-butting match, perfect!<br><br>Post edited by: Talon, at: 2007/09/19 03:14

That is a very good age. Have you been able to visit the bird yet? Ask lots of questions, especially about what it is eating right now, so you will be prepared, should you decide to get it. Please keep us posted!

Ya, don't ask me how much it cost to buy 3 kids authentic pirate hats, eye patches, and a hook for a hand! :pinch: :blink: :S
