Talon

Talon has a few tricks, one of course is the most recent I posted, about her saying her name, "Talon" and then saying "T A L O N!. If you ask her what a chicken says, she'll say, "Bawk, Bawk, Bawk!" She also will say, "Peek a boo" when you put your hands over your face and open them. And my very favorite is to say "Good Bird" and give you a kiss every time you pick her up! :P

I wonder about the box of sand. It sounds like a neat idea....does anyone know if they would eat the sand?

Readz, Welcome to our family. Sounds like you have a lovely grey! Right now, just love, comfort, and attention so you two can bond. Don't worry about the training, that will come and be much easier once you two have formed a bond. Looking forward to hearing more and seeing photo's!

Pryde, She is gorgeous! That second picture sure is a nice one!! You take very nice photos! Can't wait to see more! :woohoo:

Hi Beccy, I teach many different types of dance, tap, ballet, jazz, etc, things like that. I have also taught baton, so I too was a majorette in school. Which reminds me of a story about my sister. She was doing a solo and twirling fire baton at a Thanksgiving Football game one year, and while she was twirling, one of the fire ends went flying off the baton, and flew into the crowd! Luckily no one was hurt, but it made for an exciting halftime!!:woohoo: :woohoo: :side: :silly:

Tricky, that's a great name for such a magnificent animal. I think it is very fitting! I would love to hold a cat that big! One day.............I'll have one!! {Feel-good-000200A2}

They sound very interesting and like something our birds would like. Could you post a picture here for us all to see? I think you'd get more feedback much quicker.

Hi Kathleen and Welcome to our family. You have some story that you shared. Glad all is well now. I look forward to hearing more. Please post some pictures when you can, we love em!

Mark, that's great! Talon hasn't mastered the ABC song yet, she's still practicing, but she can count to 3! "1.2.3!" And she can whistle the Mexican hat dance song really well! She even mimics the clapping part. :lol:

Okay Dan, you asked twice for it, so you win! I was born and raised in Massachusetts. Been to many other states on vacation, but never left the United States. I am married, have 4 children, 3 boys, Matthew age 8, Joshua age 12 & Jeffrey age 18. One daughter, Melissa (Talonsis) who will be 15 in less than 2 months. I grew up in the country, and now live in a rural town pop.1200. My husband is a vegetable farmer who farms 12 months out of the year. I own and operate a Dance Studio. I am also the Bookkeeper for my husband's business. I have danced all my life. I love reading, my favorite being scary murder mysteries. I have a 2004 Kawasaki 450 motorcycle, but don't drive it much anymore,(no time). I've always loved animals, cats especially,(we have 2) but now I prefer Birds. Have had many different pets over the years. We have 3 horses that really belong to Talonsis, but she enlists the help of her mother in the care of them. I have a 55 gallon aquarium filled with exotic goldfish that I love, in my office. I enjoy running a couple of miles every day, as long as my Ipod is working! I have driven tractors/farm equipment. Harvested & packed many different types of vegetables. (hate it) Had many different types of jobs over the years before having children. But mostly teaching dancing & running my own business has been it. Oh and Tari, I love to crochet also! So, there you have it, a short version. :side: :silly:

Heather, My, you have been through a lot at such a young age. I'm sure it's made you stronger and wiser. I know it was hard to share that with us, but Thank You for doing so. I believe all things happen for a reason, and all you've endured seems to have made you a very sweet & caring person.

Yay! {Feel-good-000200A2}

That is plenty wide, bit how high and what is the length? You want to have enough room like everyone stated previously.

Sherri, she could have a bacterial infection that she picked up when she was lost. Did the vet run any tests on her? I think you need to take her back immediately. Today, if you can, but don't wait!

Dan, Congratulations! I'm very happy the big day is finally here! Do you have 2 greys? Thanks for the update, and keep us posted in your spare time! Remind Kim about sharing.............. :P

Talonsis has taught Talon how to say her name, and then spell it after! She says, "Talon, T, A, L, O, Nnnn! The funny thing is, she says it in the exact voice of Talonsis! I can't tell who's saying it! :woohoo: :woohoo:

Welcome home! I'm glad he's coming around. He's just letting you know he's mad at you for leaving, he will forgive you. Keep us posted!

You can cook with a grey as long as you are not using Teflon coated pans. I would definitely put her in another room due to safety issues with the stove being hot, etc.

Pryde, how are things going? I like the second picture, thanks for sharing. :cheer:

Hi Sampson & Welcome. I agree with the others, the information you've given us is sketchy , and confusing. Maybe you could clear it up with MORE information. I know we can help you, but we need more details from their history with you.

Cute!! {Nature-000200C9}

What a lucky bird!! :cheer: :cheer:

That is so cute Lidia!:lol: :lol:

Yes, She needs to be seen by the vet ASAP! Lidia is correct. If you see signs, she is very sick. Please let us know what happens. Don't Wait! Good luck!!

Heather, those are beautiful pictures. I enjoy them very much!! :)
