Talon

Aaah....Spooky, that is so cute! What a smart & clever birdie!! {Nature-0002008E}

You are too funny Josh!! {Feel-good-0002006E}

Tracy, Thank you for starting another very good thread! You have taught us so much, in many different areas, in just the short time you have been moderator of this room. I'm very proud of all the hard work you have put into this job. Yes, we don't get monetary rewards for all we do here, but the wonderful feeling you get in knowing that you have helped someone increase their knowledge here, can not be measured in with any amount of money. (and I know, the off-topic police are out again, trust me, they know where to find me, they follow me everywhere!):pinch:

Just wanted to give you all an update. CD is expected back on Sunday night. I know everyone is missing him as much as I am. So we hopefully will see him back here on Monday. I am looking forward to his return. He has a lot of catching up to do. But Ladies, let's see if he can stay out of the "One for the Girls Only" Thread........I bet NOT! :laugh: :laugh:

Congratulations! I'm very happy for you. You can use this time wisely to do all the research you can, and hopefully the time will pass quicker!! Keep those pictures coming! I love to see them!!

She really only eats 2 colors out of the zupreems, and I don't like them because of the artificial coloring and preservatives. I have yet to try the Pretty bird pellets, I will look for them. Right now, she eats the Forti-Diet by Kaytee, but she will not eat the sunflower seeds, peanuts, or the big stuff. She prefers the small stuff that is in the bag.

Tracy, I would love to see what the plastic rings look like, if you have a photo to post. I think it's a must after reading these very tragic stories.

Hi, and Welcome to Tonto! I love that name! I look forward to seeing pictures soon.

Tracy is full of fun & great ideas! (but don't worry, you can never run out of compliments!)

Tracy, a great idea! You're pizza looks so yummy!

Yes, very lovely.

OMG! What a horrible tragedy! I have the very same cage, but I have a weight that I put on the top so it can't be lifted from the inside or the outside unless a human does it. (It's because I have a very strong cat that lives on birds for breakfast) The cage top always looked like it would open too easily to please me. Thank you for sharing this story in hopes that it saves even one birds life if not many. My thoughst & prayers go out to this poor owner.

I love to read for pleasure. My favorite author is James Patterson. I enjoy murder mysteries. I also enjoy, Kay Hooper, Mariah Stewart, Sandra Brown, J.A. Jance, Alex Kava, Harlon Coben and Lisa Jackson. I read all of Stephen Kings earlier books up until the ones he wrote after 2000. I never enjoyed John Grisham's books though. This is a great idea for a topic! :cheer:

Yes Zooky, how are you doing? :huh: My thoughts and prayers are with you.

That's very exciting! Now let the fun begin.....:silly:

Monique, is it the coiled type? If it is, those are very safe. Talon has those everywhere in our house, and I've only replaced 1 in the last 2 years, and that's only because the ends came off the holders. It's the hanging loose ones that are of concern.

Good Decision Dan. We've had too many close calls with rope toys to leave them unsupervised.

I still can't get Talon to eat Harrison's, and I've been trying for over 6 months. I guess I should give up and try a variety......we have tried Goldenobles, she won't touch them either. Any suggestions.....anyone?

Wow! That must have been some birthday party! :woohoo: I would have loved to see your face when she opened up that present. And I'm sure you'll keep ALL the boys away with your Mr. Frocker image. :laugh: :laugh: (Sorry, off-topic police, I couldn't resist) Yes, now where were we........oh, right! Boxes, yes We have many, but Talon doesn't like them (again) How's that! :silly:

Yes, Makena Talon took also took many days to get used to just being close to the harness, never mind allowing us to put it on. we still can't do that. But give her time, and she will get used to looking at it, and chewing on it!

Makena, YES! Cd still needs more pictures. That one of Makena is a very nice one and will look great in the new video!

My opinion is to leave the name as is. That's what he knows, and it sounds like he's had a lot of stress and many adjustments already in his short life. It might just be one more confusing thing for him to try and adapt to. I'm sure others have different opinions.

Hi Tiny, and Welcome to our family. You will love it here. I look forward to hearing more about you both and seeing pictures. You should look around, there are a lot of good threads here that will answer most of your questions. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. Everyone here is very nice, and has great advice.

And I will keep this on topic, I live in fear of those Off-topic Police that Tracy has hidden, they seem to follow me everywhere. Talon does not like boxes, only little pieces of cardboard. She's scared of the boxes.

The bottle gyms sound like fun for greys. I'm not sure about all he says about them, but they do sound like good chewing fun! Pretty pricey though.
