Talon

Hi Rhonda. I live in a drafty farmhouse built in 1831 with very little insulation. In the winter, it can get very cold . Talon sleeps upstairs in a sleep cage in my son's room. We keep a Peliton heater running in there and she sleeps in a happy hut, and prefers to be covered at night. We keep the room round 70-76 degrees through-out the year. Your bird will adapt to your house temperatures. Just be careful with cool drafts. That is the most harmful to them. I keep Talon away from the doors in the winter when they open and close. In the summer Talon does not like the heat. She will pant and drop her wings when it is hot. When she does that, I will mist her with cool water and she likes that.

Hi Hannah and Welcome to our family forum. You'll love it here. I look forward to seeing pictures and hearing more!

Stephanie, THANK YOU for sharing this video with us. I hope everyone here watches it. Although it made me cry, I am just amazed by the depth of Alex's understanding. Even though we all have Greys at home, and understand how intelligent they are. This video is just astonishing! Yes, PLEASE EVERYONE WATCH THIS MEMORIAL VIDEO OF ALEX.

It is a very sad day, for the entire country. A day whose effects will never leave us. A day that will always be remembered. We are forever changed as Americans. God Bless those who fought so hard to rescue human lives. God Bless those who died innocently that fateful day. May God bring comfort and love to those families that suffered from such a tragedy. And may God watch over all Americans and bring Peace to us all.

I am pleased to announce the birth of this beautiful baby girl on behalf of the owner of greyforums.net. She is the most precious gift one could ever receive. I know she is cherished and loved beyond belief. What a gorgeous sweet little girl! Congratulations and Best Wishes!

OMG! These are great pictures! How could we possibly decide......

Hi Bebe! Welcome here to our family! You'll make more than a couple of friends here. Everyone is great, you'll love it here!

Hi Connie and Welcome!! Don't let these guys scare you off, their all bark and no bite!! :evil:

Welcome Carol to our Family! I look forward to hearing more about you and seeing pictures!

Joe, that's a very good looking family you have there! Thanks for sharing that with us. :cheer:

Ouch! That must have been pretty painful! But it could have been much worse...{Feel-bad-00020080}

This is the official announcement of the death of Alex as per the Alex Foundation web site. http://www.alexfoundation.org/ Alex was found to be in good health at his most recent annual physical about two weeks ago. According to the vet who conducted the necropsy, there was no obvious cause of death. Dr. Pepperberg will continue her innovative research program at Harvard and Brandeis University with Griffin and Arthur, two other young African Grey parrots who have been a part of the ongoing research program.

Yes, FairY that is a blessing if there is one. We are all anxiously awaiting for news of the cause of his death. It will be posted here in this memorial.

Joe, have you tried the dried ones from Dr. Foster's? They are all natural, no preservatives in them. Talon loves them.

Mark, I love that name! She already looks 10 times healthier.

Aah, Tracy, that was so nice. Put a smile on my face and I wasn't even gone!!

Welcome Bill, I look forward to hearing more from you.

Dan, that is a very good article. Thank you for sharing it. I have started to train Talon to come to me for meal time by encouraging her with the food that I am eating. She did it for the first time yesterday! Prior to this, when she does fly, I call to her and she will land on my shoulder or hand. One step at a time I guess, but I think we're on the right road, thanks again for the info! One more thing, I don't have the guts to ever try it outside. Nope, never!!!<br><br>Post edited by: Talon, at: 2007/09/09 14:47
