Talon

Nice pics!!! Thanks for teaching us yet another great fact about amazons!

I have 3 females. And 3 kids. Right now I am the only one arou d, so they have no choice. Out of the 3, Nilah my amazon is very bonded to me , but I can see she really likes my daughters boyfriends thru ur the years. Talon says in the background due to her place in the flock, she is third on the perch. When y daughter is home, rikki prefers her. Talon does love men, she just doesn't have any in her life at this time. She isn't interested in my sons...prefers my ex husband.....why???? Ill never understand!

Wow! I had no idea....pics?

Well can't even start it as question one only let's you pick one species, I have both, and I think there is no canned difference between the two, it all boils down to personally of the bird and how the personality and ways in which it is raised by its parront family interacts with them.

I have one, my birds all hate it, so it's in the unused toy box collecting dust

Oh thank god! My eyes are filled with happy tears for you. I know you've been thru a difficult year, and this is the last thing you needed..another loss. I am thrilled!! Now NO MORE SCREENS!

Omg...prayers for a happy ending..I'm so sorry...

My two dogs Are micro chipped, but I would not put my parrots thru the procedure...it is easy for dog, but not for a bird as I understand, you have to put them under anesthesia , too risky for me and that just my own opinion.

Try again.......

Thanks. Fixed it

Here is a short video of Nilah lettig Talon kmow that the top of her cupboard was her domain today. Nilah does this alot, she is quiet, but telling Talon with her body language. I thought it would be interesting to show and see if other amazons here do this, or is this just Nilah as we all know she's got her own way of doing things

Beautiful tribute!

Yes, I've had it for 8 years and play it on Wed of every week for them. I think they enjoy it and then know that after that day, there's only 2 more of mama working! RAY, my birds already have their own flat screen!! Lol

Wow, that's great to know! Sounds like my Nilah as she loves to fly!

I have 5 birds. All are covered at night by a dark sheet that only covers the top half. I have a busy household and it let's them no its bedtime and also gives them privacy from any goings on, even tho they all have their own room.

Congrats! Great news!

Hey great idea! Child locks!!! I have have hanging spray bottles on every kitchen cabinet...can the doors be opened a tiny bit? I wonder if my birds would keep chewing the tops I'm trying to get in. I would love to get rid of the spray bottles every time I open a door to get a dish!

Done! Got my vote!

Talon my tag will go in happily! Nilah my amazon needs assistance in me pushing her head down lightly and putting her in while she's on my hand. Rikki my cag on the other hand has to be stuffed in and the door slammed shut super fast!!! Once she's in, she's fine, but won't have anything to do with going in willingly...sometimes you do what you have to do!

My birds were not chosen for their personalities, they came to me as is. I have a AG, cag and amazon. They are alwaysost at the same time. They know the pecking order and respect it for the most part. They tolerate each other, my cag has no use for my amazon and she know it and respects it. My amazon and tag aren't friends, but tease and joke and sometimes play chase with each other, but my tag is much smaller and keeps her distance mostly.

Yes, that is exactly how Nilah responds. In hindsight, it is very clear to see.

My parrots are a lot lot Luvparrots flock. They do go and eat food in each others cages but only when the owner is out and to watching! I let them. They also have a pecking order. They do not share at all, but will patiently wait their turn for treats ect.

I thought it would be interesting to hear what types of things you leave for your parrots to keep them company while you are at work. Other than the usual toys and snacks in their cages..... I have Nick Jr. on the tv 3 days a week. On day I leave on the Parrot Sitter DVD, and the other day is the computer with a playlist I made special for Nilah with a lot of singing as she LOVES to sing!
