Talon

Can't answer that, but I use vet wrap instead.

Just an update, I have been sitting out in the bird room for the last half hour. Talon is on a swirling boing and Rikki was on my shoulder, but has ventured onto the back of the couch. All seem quiet, but ok....making progress!! And then there's Nilah climbing everywhere , chewing, yelling! and they are OUTSIDE!!!! Shhhhh....don't tell them!

I was not aware that you still had problems as they seem to be working whenever we test it...

I believe it is the albums in the profiles that aren't working.​

So true!! They sure do feed off of you day!

Yes, I have had my greys for almost 8 years and have stayed with them next to a screened window many many times over the years. They have never enjoyed it. I have also spent hours at different times in the outdoor bird room, they hate it!

NILAH!!!!! My greys hate the outdoors, Always have

Here is a quick tour of my new outdoor bird room.

Yes, we are having technical issues and they are working on things little by little..

Yes, my birds are fearless when it comes to destroying things in my house. there's nothing they won't go after. They are used to the sound of the expresso machine as one of them is usually on my shoulder and another on top of the machine when I make my morning coffee to take to work.

Me too! What state are you located in?

I don't believe in trimming either. Just my opinion. I see o need for it

My Rikki went thru the same thing, always trying to fly and crashing onto the floor, this breaking her newly growing flight feather. Yes, it is hard to watch, but I believe that nature is always the way to go....not medical procedures unless life threatening. Given the right amou t of time, all will be okay with patience. I finally, after crash after crash breaking my heart, would keep her in my sight as much as I could, if I saw her getting ready to fly, I would run to her and have her step up and be her wings for her until she had her own. I had to protect her newly growing feathers until they were ready. She is an incredible flyer now!

Saw this on Facebook today and wanted to share!

Nilah is very hormonal during the springtime, even tho she is only 5 years old. This is a nightly event, I wanted to video her 'Mating call' as I am curious if anyone here has an amazon that makes the same sound.

Talon decided that the dreaded paper towels were to be no longer!! Please excuse the expresso machine noise in the background.

When my Rikki came to me clipped and I was allowing her to grow her feathers so she could free fly, it took several years as she kept breaking her flight feathers on one side as well. But eventually the others caught up enough to protect the flight feathers and all is well. I personally wouldnt put her thru anything unless medically necessary.

Hi zoomommy, I remember you from the other forum. Preston has since died, Jane kept it up and last I knew it was still running. But we are glad you are here with us and joining our family! Many older members here come from there as well. I look forward to seeing pics and hereing more!

Very interesting thread! Equal time in my house goes like this: since Talon came first and she is the only one with a sleep cage which has always been in my bedroom, she is always first out in the am, then downstairs to get Rikki next as she was next in the flock, then Nilah immediately after. The same routine at night. Afer work and on days off, all 3 are always let out. They are allowed to perch all over me when they want until bedtime.

Yes, that is the wire I used. In fact I have 700 feet left over!
