Talon

Nice cage! If you click on the thumbnail, it seems to be upright!

Welcome to our family! What a wonderful story. I am so happy you took smokey home. Love the pics, and I,look forward to hearing more! ,

oops...Never thought about that....I better fix that...I'm sneaking at work, so my mind is pre-occupied.. Thanks

I saw this from a friend and thought it had some good info: http://avianandexoticvets.com/why-did-my-bird-suddenly-die/

wow, I am no expert, but 32 degrees is too cold. did i misread your post? temp should be at thevery least 70 degrees. Hopefully Dave will be on soon to give you the correct info.

Thanks everyone for all your encouraging words. You have made me feel better. I am off this morning, I let the birds out for a bit for breakfast, but they feel so ethinf isn't right and aren't interested in eating. So, I will put them in their cages and head out soon. Thanks again, I do feel better about leaving them thanks to all of you. Will update you when I get back. Judy, I am heading your way, down south to NC. Wish I had time for a visit!!

I have to go away for 4 days, My 3 birds will be stuck in their cages from fri pm until wed pm...... I am distraught over this ....lap, Talon wont be able to sleep in her sleep cage. This will be the first time she will be left in her day,play cage at night. How will they fair? I'm so upset.....but I have absolutely no one that can handle them. My boys will feed them and give them fresh water, but that's it....

Judy is right, the whole dominance thing in them being higher than us is completely untrue. I have perches across my sky lights and it doesn't make any difference, they still know who's in charge....

Having perches all over the house never makes a difference, they chose to land where they want, and will chew the woodwork, windows door frames doors when they feel like it.... As for the shower perches being on the windows, my birds will chew the suction cups off and then all will go crashing down onto the floor as they fly off!

We too are getting hammered over and over. But in the North as you know life continues, work goes on, no snow days at work, so we trudge on in, come home shovel some more and do it all the next day. Just always make sure we gas for the generator, gas in the cars and always have bread and milk....

I would have to say, i believe you are in the wrong forum my friend...

I have a deck off the back of my house. A good portion of it has a roof ,partial open walls and 2 doors. I would love to make it into a summer bird room. It doesn't really get any sun. I want to screen it in, but want to use SAFE scree/wire. DOes anyone have any advice? I am only going to use the room in the daytime, they would be in the house at night. Just want a fun bird room where they can get fresh air!

Nancy, I would love some pics of your bird room. I would really like to make a room where they would be safe...just need some ideas..

I know you say it doesn't emit any harmful fumes, but I have a self cleaning oven about 8 years old. When ever I have tried to use it, and my other one prior to this one, my eyes stung terribly and because of that fact, I felt it is never safe for my birds.

Don't worry that 2 is too young. All my birds showed mating instincts early on. Just make sure you don't pet him any further down than his head/neck area. IF he gets to crazy, distraction is the key or put him on a play stand when he does that. You don't want to encourage it, you want to discourage it, but do it with out making a big deal. He will stop in due time. MAke sure he gets 12 hours of sleep/dark time, that will also help.

Love it!! Great photo!

I do play the bird sitter dvd. MY birds seem to like it while I am at work, but I only play it once a week, don't want them to get too sick of it

RIP Cocoa, I remember you from the very first post....my prayers to your family. Fly free over the rainbow bridge

Can't wait to hear your amazon stories, you are right, they are so different, but what a joy! Mine loves flying thru the house screaming her little head off, occasionally she will play fly tag with my timneh, it's the only game they enjoy together.

I have found over the years that my fids are much happier if they get about 12 hours of sleep.

One of my greys has a sleep cage in my bedroom. I cover it with a dark sheet. She prefers peace & quiet. If I am in my bedroom after she is in bed..she Shhh's me a few times loudly...if I continue to talk or make any noise..she gets mad and starts banging her bell loudly to tell me to Shut-up!

Wonderful picture!!

Now that's what I call an UPDATE...SHE SURE PUT YOU IN YOUR PLACE!!

Week 7.........Changing the thread title...My princess is still being a good girl in the mornings!
