Talon

Zoesdad, I hope so. Just watched the dvd again. Talon really doesn't like her wings touched very much, so that's where I am having problems, but I'll keep trying. Thanks dor the encouragement everyone!! :cheer:

Thanks for all the encouragement everyone. I'll keep you posted.

Frank, you've never captured a moment like you did in that picture of Anna & Matt. I've never seen her look so happy. Those eyes are just sparkling and she looks ecstatic! It's a very nice picture. Once again...Good Job!! Enjoy the concert tonight you too!!! {Feel-good-000200BB}

Very nice story & thanks for showing us the pictures. They are so Cute!!

Monique, yes. I did. I guess I have to watch it again.

Very Funny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11:laugh: :laugh:

Well, after 10 minutes, she let me touch her head with it, that's about it. I couldn't get any further with her, but I'll keep trying. We made a little progress. :blink:

Isn't that what cheerleaders are supposed to do?? {Nature-000200C9} (Sorry, couldn't resist.)

Nice! :)

Those are spectacular photo's. I think you've outdone yourself there. Thanks for those visuals......:whistle: Enjoy Vegas, and post more pictures!!

Talon started talking at 4 1/2 months, but I have read that most greys start anywhere from 6-12 months or more. I would keep repeating a word to get Talon to say it. I kept it very simple, just one word, and I always talk to her. They tend to pick up words that have alot of excitement in them. I'm sure others here have lots of good advice.

Oohhh! You guys are making me sooo jealous!! Maybe I'll go try again.............I'll let you know if I have any fingers left!!!{Emotions-00020120}

That's great news! Sounds like she is quite happy working with you. Definitely a change of scenery can bring on a change in attitude. I think she'd like a play stand as well. Talon has one in my office, but tends to prefer walking around and getting into things on my desk! :pinch:

I'm so jealous that you guys find it so easy to put on. If I touch Talon's wings, she attacks me!!:evil:

Loofa, I'm so sorry. What a disappointment. But there is always a reason for things happening the way they do. The baby meant for you just wasn't in that group. I know it's hard to wait, but it will give you more time to prepare and get things ready. Maybe you can keep us posted with pictues in the mean time. Hang in there, it will be worth the wait!

That's very good news! Definitely keep us updated.

Sounds like a hit! {Communicate-0002011B}

Just keep up the patience. You both have to learn to trust each other. Sounds like you are making some progress. Just little moments of time which will gradually turn into minutes, hours etc. is a great beginning.

Wow! Now that's Hawaii. Those are stunning photo's CD! You've really brought Hawaii to us this week, and it's been a fun adventure for us. Thank you for sharing your well deserved vacation with us. You didn't have to, but I'm real glad you did! And I'm even happier you did the climbing for us. Those are some spectacular views! Keep em coming!! But please take time to enjoy yourself as well.

Good Job, Cd. I'm very proud of you. {Love-0002011D} I know that wasn't easy for you. You're time will come to finish this.<br><br>Post edited by: Talon, at: 2007/05/24 03:57

I agree with Monique. Very good advice. You really need to work up enough trust so she feels totally at ease with her new home and surroundings. Then work on the food issue. One thing at a time if possible.

Talon hates showers, & spray bottles. I did buy the spray mister for birds. I have to put her in her cage, and use that to mist her until she's very wet. She doesn't like it very much, but eventually she gives in and just sits there. :unsure:

Right on, Judy!! {Feel-good-000200BB}

That's okay, thanks tho. I'm glad that it was so easy. Keep it up, especially as he gets older, so he stays comfortable with it.

I have one, but have been unable to put it on Talon yet? How did you do it so fast? :huh:
