Talon

That is very cool! Thanks for sharing that with us. It reminds you just smart they really are! :cheer:

Congratulations Loofa! I'm very excited for you. Yes, please keep us updated and post pictures. We love photos! :woohoo:

Lidia,.........OH DEAR...........On second thought.....................JUST KIDDING!! {Feel-good-0002006E}

Congratulations Dan! You know this makes me very happy! I know you are perfect for the job. You have such a broad base of knowledge, and I' sure you will keep the topics steered in right direction while keeping it all fun! Welcome aboard! You deserve this!{Love-000200C5}

Congratulations Lydia! You know I think you are the best person for the job. You have a wealth of experience and information to share with us. We are very lucky to have you. I know you'll do a great job!! {Nature-00020095}

My son has read parts of it. And he's driving his sister crazy telling her daily little parts of what's going to happen! :evil: :evil: :evil: I think she's about to kill him!!:laugh: :laugh:

Hello, and Welcome. He sounds like a very intelligent bird. I'm glad you've had him for so long, and he's doing so well. What a sad, sad story for the start of his life, but it sounds like you've made him very happy! That is a wonderful story about the interaction he has with you. Would you please post a photo of him, we love to see pictures!! And welcome to our family here. We look forward to hearing more stories about him.

Well, I don't know about the last 2 ingredients, but the others look fine. You say it is tasty eh? Have to take your word for it. I look forward to hearing what others think....:cheer:

Hi Cindy, Welcome. Snow peas are fine for them to have. French fries aren't exactly healthy for them or us, but one every once in a while won't hurt him. Just don't salt it. I prefer a water bowl as it's easier for me to clean daily, but I know others here prefer the water bottle. So, it is a personal preference, but listen to the others advice, and make your own decision based on your situation and what works best for you.

Angie, that is soooo cute!! Looks like she's not sure if she should be happy, mad or sad! :cheer: :evil:

Loviechick, Welcome to our family here. I'm so happy to hear that you rescued that poor little bird. What a wonderful thing you did. :cheer: Judy is right. She needs to see you playing with them and having fun. I know it sounds silly, but she will learn from you. Get excited about them when you are playing with them. Use an excited voice, she'll pick it up and do the same. It may take several tries, but don't give up. She'll catch on! Good luck and please keep us posted as to her progress.

Lidia, Excellent research ! Thank you! Karma for you!!:cheer:

That is cute! Talon spends the better part of her day hanging upside down when she is playing. She hangs from one foot and swings back & forth. They do love to hang and play upside down. Fun to watch! :P

Very impressive for a 14 year old! You are a very caring & giving young lady. We should all learn by your example. Karma for you! {Love-000200BF}

I can't imagine that. What would they use them for? Sounds like a scam?? But I could be wrong, maybe someone else here will chime in on this one.:dry:

We have ceiling fans, and Talon does not have her wings clipped. I never run them on high! But I will put them on med. of low. She never goes near them, and the draft is so small, that in the summer it doesn't bother her. I'd never use them in the winter though.

Yes, we do Lidia.

Lidia, that is the saddest story, but had such a happy ending. I'm glad for you. I only hope that this other person has the same good fortune as you. I'll be praying that there grey comes home quickly and safely.

Sounds Like he's doing great!!

Thanks, Lidia, I'm trying to get the rest of my family to behave and not give them to her. But maybe now they can READ it here!:evil:

Greys don't like to poop in their cage, It is their home, and they don't want to soil it. They will hold it all night until you take them out, and then they will go. It's just the way they are. You can't train them to go in their cage.

Good one Judy! {Feel-good-0002006E}

Thanks everyone, I didn't think it was too good for her, but I wanted to get some other opinions. Thanks!

Tari, very good information. Thank you for researching and sharing that with us. The question I have, is how much salt is too much? Talon loves nachos, and they are loaded with salt. How many does anyone think is safe to allow her. (I know that zero is the safest) But, I have family members that think sharing is "nice", when actually "safe" is nice.

Does anyone here know if Gatorade sports drink is ok for birds to drink on occasion? Talon had some orange Gatorade from Melissa last night, and absolutely loved it! She kept drinking like she's never had a drink before! There are a lot of electrolytes in it, and I was curious if that would be harmful to their systems. Anyone here know the answer to this question?:dry:
