Talon

He will probably start to pick up words, just be patient and talk to him a lot. He has some adjusting to do still, and bonding with you. In time, he will settle in and surprise you!:laugh:

Nice one Judy! I was born on FRIDAY THE 13TH of May. So naturally it doesn't bother me. I actually think the opposite......that it's Good Luck, seeing as how I was born on it!! {Feel-good-000200A2}

Amanda, How did your vet appt. go? :huh:

Geoff, it will startle him at first, so keep it low, but after a while, he won't even notice it! And if you are singing as well, he'll love it even more!!:woohoo:

That's for sure, Judy!! :silly: Beccy, I agree with you, there's nothing like it!!:lol:

Oh, So Cute!! :cheer:

Geoff, my son plays his electric guitar in the next room, not too, too loud, but enough to annoy us. Talon has gotten used to it, she loves music, and is not scared by loud sounds. We have 4 kids, and it can get noisy here! So, keep up the music. Talon will try to sing, and just say,"Laaaaaaaa,Laaaaaaaa," as she doesn't know the words. So cute! :silly:

Bondsmom, I buy fresh veggie cubes from a lady near me that she makes and sells for birds. She also boards all types of birds. I have discussed boarding with her in length, as we have no one to take care of Talon if we ever need to leave her. She said that she has never had a bird show any signs, other than being a little quieter the first couple of days. She said they come around very quickly, and adjust well. I'm sure it will be much harder on you, than her. Just think how happy she will be to finally see you! It will go quickly, and before you know it, you'll be back home.

Joe, sounds like he's doing very well. Like Cd & Judy said, he does need his own cage asap. It helps them to feel safe and secure when you are not right there with him. Keep us updated, I'm looking forward to hearing all your "firsts" with him! :cheer:

greylover, Great idea! Very funny jokes!! {Feel-good-0002006E}

You men are such good sports!.........Well, some of you are...........okay, a couple of you are..............................the rest are just a BUNCH OF CHICKENS!!!{Nature-000200A9} {Nature-0002009B}

That's what we are here for! They do tend to get lost sometimes, but we're working on sorting things out.

Hi & Welcome! I can't find exactly what post you are looking for, but click on this link, and this may help you in your search. Good luck! Let us know how you make out. http://www.birdbreeders.com/availability.aspx?categoryid=1

Aaah.....thanks Judy. :blush: :blush:

Lidia, You can give karma, or take away, (but I hope no one ever does this) one every six hours. So as Judy says, positive karma here is what we like to see, if there is a problem, using the pm system we have is the way to go. You can always pm an admin or moderator to help with any issues that may arise. I haven't see anyone's karma go down for a while now, as I do watch it, but I'll keep a better eye on yours! So, just in case I missed it, positive karma for you today!! :)

Trina, It was Amanda I believe, here is the link to that thread. http://www.greyforums.net/forums/african-grey/18477-behavior-of-grey.html#18516

Those are great Beccy, just in time too! Thanks!!!:cheer:

Dan, What are you talking about....no photo! Wait until that wife of your's logs on. I'll get you good then!!:evil: Don't worry, Talonsis will be gentle with you.....She really will, after all your kind of new here and we don't want to scare you away.{Feel-good-0002006E}

Josh, Congratulations to you! I'm very happy you found someone. Sounds like a good person. I'm sure you will be more than prepared when your ready for your baby. Let us know how things go when you visit.

Hunk sounds good, easier to type.......you don't mind do you??? (just kidding) :P

shawzy4, That is such a great picture!! I love it! You took that with a cell phone? Wow, no excuses here for any of us.....hurry up,let's go everyone. But Talon is sleeping.............. maybe tomorrow. TIME IS RUNNING SHORT!!

Lidia Wrote" Mr. Paramedic, talon is 21 months old. Do you have a name or nickname that I can call you? Lidia, that is exactly what Talon has started going through the last month or so. Thanks for the helpful advice. How long does this stage of Terrible Two's last?:dry:

Judy, is that the best you can do??? Come on now..........:woohoo:

Hi, Everyone! We are having so much fun with this topic in the "What Do You Look Like" thread, that I thought it best to continue it here instead. LADIES, We seem to have some pretty handsome men here in this forum, but they appear to be a little shy :pinch: ......especially Mr. Paramedic..... So I thought we should all "Welcome" them here. Let them know they don't have to run from us. I mean they can try, but we can definitely beat them at our own game. Can't we ladies?? :kiss: So, How about it You Handsome Men.........Get your running shoes on, get set, go! And just in case you're wondering....we really are harmless, aren't we ladies? And remember, all in good, clean fun! This is a Family Forum remember. I'm sure Judy will be the first to start...in fact, seeing as she is the First Member to Post 1000 Posts, let's give her a head start! Here are a few of my very favorites:

Judy, after what I went through with Talon's girl/boy story, I am a non-believer in anything but a DNA test!
