Talon

Verena, Please keep us updated on how your vet visit goes. We care very much about all our extended birdie's!! :cheer:

Beccy and the others give good advice. Being able to have your grey out of his cage morning and evening is important to them. They need this human interaction to thrive as healthy and happy birds. They do need lots of stimulation, so many toys and a large cage is a must Good luck to you, and keep us posted. :)

Our vet said they aren't able to catch colds and virus from us. But just for piece of mind, I wouldn't kiss Talon when I was sick.

You two are soooo funny!! I love to come here and get a good laugh from you guys!!! Dan.... this is for you........I love this bunny! {Nature-000200C9}

Welcome Josh! Nice to have you join our family. I am far from Minnesota, but maybe someone else here can help you. Looking forward to hearing more about you & your future grey!!

Jeez, Judy! That's 2 winners today for you. Keep it up lady!!! :woohoo: :woohoo:

Judy, that's cute! Where did you find that???:huh:

Oh, very funny with that last one! I'm going to guess........now don't get mad if I'm off, but 49???:pinch:

Grandchildren...............are they as fun as Greys??? ;)

COME ON EVERYONE!!! KARMA FOR CD!! :woohoo: :woohoo:

A very BIG Congratulations CD! You’ve reached an incredible milestone in just under 2 months, in more ways than one! Like Judy, you are filled with a wealth of knowledge and wisdom to share. You are a very special, compassionate and smart man,and it shows to all of us here. I value your friendship and knowing that you will always be here for us is a comfort. We are lucky to have you. Keep up the good posting!! Lots of Love, Penny

Very Nice...Big & beautiful!! :cheer:

What a warm & fuzzy feeling you guys are giving us!! I love it!!!{Love-000200BF}

Yes, Tari, It does sound like a small zoo! But good for you to be able to handle it all, I'm sure you do it with ease. :cheer:

Dayo is so cute! Thanks for the pictures!!! :)

We have 3 horses, 2 cats, 1 African Grey, 1- 55 gal. aquarium with 6 goldfish. We've had many other pets, but they have passed on.

Tari, we don't have chickens. (we did at one time) but I think it's just an easy, fun sound that they can pick up quickly.

Talon makes the usual, chicken sounds, microwave, oven timer, squeaky door, wines like a dog, even though he died 1 year ago. phone ringing, then says "Hello, hold on....." mail alert sound, trucks beeping, wolf whistle, and tries to sing to songs she doesn't know by saying "Laaaaaaaaaaa!" over and over. She's making many wild bird sounds now that the windows are open for summer. B) B)

Jusy, after 1000 posts, you deserve them. Hands off CD!! :evil:

Congratulations Judy!! I knew you could do it, and in less than 2 months! You are a very special lady with a lot of knowledge and wisdom. I feel honored to have the pleasure of your friendship. You Go Girl!

Dan,Good Morning right back at you! I know it's early morning for you!! I agree with you, if you really pay attention, they all seem to be able to communicate their happiness and love in seeing you. I have found that they each seem to have their own individualized way of communicating. Perhaps I'll move over to body language thread and continue on...:pinch:

Talon tends to wag her tail when she's happy to see us, and also gives us kissy sounds, until we kiss back! That's better than a smile to me!! {Love-000200C0}

Verena, What a sad experience for both of you. But you can't give up, that poor thing needs you to help him heal. you did the right thing by keeping him with you as to help him heal. Can you continue to do that for a longer period of time, this second around? I would keep him on lower surfaces as much as possible, and not put him up on your shoulder or any height until he is healed and able to fly a little better. It does sound like he wasn't clipped properly. His feathers need to grow out somewhat so he can land safely. You can usually tell when they are going to jump or take flight. They tend to bend (for lack of a better word) their legs, and put their wings out a little, then go. I hope you find the advice you need here from all of us, there is a lot of knowledge here. So keep at it, and don't give up, you'll get past all this, and be able to enjoy your bird with out as much worry soon! Please keep us updated on how he's doing.......:dry:
