Talon

Hi Brett, I have 4 kids, ages 8,12,15 & 18. My 12 year old has gotten bit a lot. He doesn't do anything wrong, so he knows how you feel. My advice to you would be to approach him slowly, and keep your hands down by your side or hidden from him. They usually bite out of fear, so even though you do nothing wrong, he is nervous enough that he's unsure around you, and will bite for that reason. You could try approaching him slowly with a treat or a toy. Sometimes they just want to be left alone and can't tell kids that, so they will bite to communicate that. Also if he knows you will yell or cry, or make any sound when he bites, it will become a game to him and it will continue. I know it's hard, but in time it will get better if you give no acknowledgment to his biting. Good luck, and listen to your Mom. She's a smart lady! BRETT, please join our "Parrot-Bite Me Club". There are a lot of us members there. You earned it!! Tell your mom to check it out! You won't feel so bad after reading our stories, you're not alone.<br><br>Post edited by: Talon, at: 2007/08/31 03:28

Any updates Mark? How's that sweet birdie doing? :cheer:

I give Talon peanut butter on toast every morning for breakfast. (we share it) It has protein in it and fat. Just don't overdue it because of the fat. I have found if I spread it too thick, she has problems, so now I spread it thinner, and she loves it.

Hi Razza and Welcome to the family. I live about 2 hours away from you. So Hi Neighbor! If you need help with the photo's, pm me and I can help you. But if you read on the FAQ page, it will explain how to post a photo. Good luck, and I look forward to hearing more!!

Toni, I hope things move along quickly. He is still young. You want to make sure he eating well before he comes home, so you don't have any problems and have to bring him back for a bit. That would be too hard on both of you. Hang in there, and please ask about the once a day feeding, sounds like maybe he needs more.:dry:

Spooky, thank you for the link. It's very informative. MrSpock, thats a beautiful play stand you have built. I wish I had someone who could build one for Talon. You do very nice work. Thanks for sharing a photo of it.

OMG! That's my favorite, how did you know? I munch on them at night while I am here. B)

Very funny!! {Feel-good-0002006E} Getting kind of bossy there are you? :laugh: :laugh: (Only kidding!)

Dan, now that's what I'm talking about, and I always tell the truth. B) And as long as you are sweet like that, you can post here, after all, I am an admin, and I can delete your posts if I don't like them....:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :P

It rains, and never stops, you float away hanging onto Josey's cage and a handsome prince rescues you, only to drowned before that first kiss. I wish Judy would stop posting for a bit, and let the rest of us catch up! :laugh: :woohoo: :silly: :side: :whistle:

I live next door to a mung bean sprout factory, they sprout their own. You would think that Talon eats them all the time since they are so available to me, but I've never fed them to her. I think I'd better take a walk over and get some fresh ones. I don't have to sprout them!!

I'm hesitant because it seems like their feet are the first thing to get warm. I was afraid it would get too warm for them. I don't think it's really necessary. I live in New England where the winters farmhouse can be very cold, and Talon seems to do fine just with the house temperature.

We all love good looking men, especially those that shower us with attention. I think Dan's finally catching on girls!! :P

Zooky, You know how I feel, I shared that with you last night. I meant every word of it. You are a special angel and were meant to rescue Mende and give her the best life possible. I know with all my heart you are doing that. Bless you, and may this situation turn around for you. Remember, don't feel sorry for her, she knows no other way, this is normal for her, and it's because of you that she has been able to experience life. You are a very special person, one which we should all learn from.

Yes, I miss you very much here as well. We have a void here, and we need you back safe & sound for you to fill it. So hurry up!!! :angry:

I have read this several times before. And I have head my kids read it more than once, as a reminder. (and they will read it here again today) I have taught them never to give out their birth date or what town and school they go to. You can't be too safe these days now that we have brought the outside world into our homes. I hope all parents here have their children read this, you can never be too careful when it comes to your children.

I think it would be fine. They love to chew on boxes, and climb into.

Joe, I'm very happy that all went well. Give her my best, and a speedy recovery!!

See Dan??? Josh has us all figured out! It's real easy......especially for an ENGINEER!!! :laugh: :laugh:

:laugh: :laugh: Cute Josh, very cute! B)

This is the funniest thread I've ever seen. I don't know where to start!! But I definitely think Josh fits in real nicely here. And as far as YOU Dan.....don't you know the quickest way to our hearts is to flirt with us all??? Not to try and outsmart us, after all, you'll never win!!:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I did know that Dan, but Both pages should be locked, and that's what I'm trying to get fixed. But thanks!
