I have sent another pleading email to the higher ups. I have been logged n at work all day and have had no problems with it logging me out. Are you sure you have checked the remember me box?

OH MY!! thats the besdt picture ever!!! I love it!

Once again Nilah has gotten into a no-no. She is worse than any of my 4 kids were. She is into everything, eats glue, make up. soap, toothpaste, dish soap, ANYTHING she can get her beak onto. I am quite certain one day she will die because of it.... The rule I have is if it's quiet, I need to find her and see what she is up too. Well, today as the birds & I were eating breakfast at the table, I dont usually worry about Nilah as she prefers to wait on top of the kitchen cabinets until we are done, then she will go to the table and eat. It had been a while, so I called for her and looked around the kitchen only to find her on top of my expresso machine eating expresso beans (which she LOVES btw) She ate ALOT before I discovered her....She seems to be acting fine, I was home with her for about an hour afterwards. I put her in her cager and no am at work. She knocked over my camera and I forgot about it, so I cant log in and check on her... I really think she is going to die...sooner rather than later with all the different things she has eaten in her short life.... Just needed a place to vent some dispair...Thanks for listening, not much I can do now I suppose....just wait and watch MUCH MORE CAREFULLY! She is going thru as terrible stage needing constant supervision...shame on me, I should have known better....my only excuse is a severe migrtain I woke up with that had me all dis-orientated as I was trying to get thru my morning routine and off to work.

I have notified the tech dept twice, they seem to be too busy for us... You will have no problem being thrown out as long as you check the Remmebr Me box as Judy said. I havent found it to be gone and I use Firefox & IE. Perhaps your computer display settings are different?

The pm system seems to be working......... , yes?

Please take the time to read ALL the warnings, you could save a feathered life..... http://www.birdhotline.com/comment.htm

I used to shower with Nilah, but now that Im working 3 jobs, inhave to shower early before they are up..so no more...

Congrats! Can't wait to see pics and hear all about that first exciting day!

Well, I have a 7 year old grey that will cuddle up on a blanket wanting to be petted non stop next to me and cuddle until I have had enough.

Thank you for the reply. You are doing a wonderful thing, your new addition must be so frightened..poor baby.

When I adopted my cag, I was her 4th home. She had been allowed to land on heads and to eat out of human mouths... every time she tried to land on my head, I would duck and scream at the same time, and say, NO......she didnt like my reaction, she stopped pretty quickly, took a very short time and she never tried it again....

hi there, where are you located, I do know of someone who lost their tag, but I don't know what part of the world you are in...

The best we can do is allow them to be who they are, respect them, and their struggles to be who they are.... A wild creature forced not by their choice to, live in a human environment that they have no control over.

Great advice Dan. My 3 parrots all were clipped when I got them. One was clipped all her life and never allowed to fly. Seeing as I am very much against clipping, once their feathers grew out enough to fly, we worked with them as Dan says, they never had the chance for their muscles to develop enough to use them in flying. My youngest son taught Our amazon how to fly, he would hold her on his arm and would gently run from one side of the room to the other in a straight line heading towards the couch and yell fly!!!! She would love it, and at first just stay on his arm, once she crane confident in what he was doing, he would drop his arm part way and she would have to try and fly a bit and would crash land at first o to the couch. Over time, she got stronger and more confident and it was longer flights and better landings. Now she loves flying and is very good at it.

Wow! That was such a fantastic video. Took me back to all those things and how much I miss the simpler days. Thank you Dave, I really needed to see that tonight, as life had been overwhelming lately. Luv to you!

I know how you felt. I have 6 birds, 3 horses, 2 dogs, 2 cats and 3 kids, and i am a single mom living alone with all,those mouths., and we lost the power in the snow storm last oct. we were without heat, elec, no water as we have a well, and no flushing of toilets, telephone and cell phone. I lost all the stocked up food in the freezer and fridge. I have a very small fireplace in the living room,and it was extremely difficult to keep it all together. It would go down below 50 at night, and barely 60 during the day. It was hard and worrisome. I do t think I would have thought about candlestick I have a huge fear of fire burning my house down....but good for you for being so daring in my mind. You did good! After my nightmare, I bought a generator....never again will i go thru that. I have too many living things I am responsible for.

I woulddefinately take the time off. You will have precious time that will help with the comfort of a new settling in routine. Your bird has its whole life to get in a routine where your ton, what's the hurry? It won't benefit either one of you to worry about a routine so soon in my opinion.

Bless you! You just made my day!!

My tag has a sleep cage. It has food, water and a few toys in it as well as a sleep hut that she sleeps on top of. She does eat late at night or early morning in it. Works well for her, she loves the quiet and gets mad nd bangs her bell if I'm noisy in the room.

I agree with Jayd....can't even watch it. It scares the be geezers out of me. But thats just my opinion.

Bottom line....You can't. You will wonder if our grey eas at all, they seem to waste more than they eat. it goes with the territory of bird ownership.

Yes Judy is correct. I have central air and use mine all summer. Keeping it from blowing directly on thir cages.

I am sorry, get well soon. YOur in my thoughts

Dan and Kim, I am so sorry to hear of your loss. But bless your hearts for being such a wonderful and loving home or Bently. You took a lost soul and gave him a wonderful life where others wouldn't. I know how much you will miss him in our home and by your side. Remember all the happy times and cherish the time you did have. Love to you both, Penny

Ray, I agree, it s very cruel to clip any wings, but especially one.....
