Talon

I have the same one in beige. I never open the top, as it is Talons day cage. She seems happy with it and I find it easy to clean and very sturdy. My greys and amazon never had problem changing cages, they always went right in and loved it! They watched me build them and put their stuff in it. So they were excited and curious as I made a big exciting event about it!

Can you amazon owners share your experience with your amazons and molting? I believe Nilah is going thru a molt, and she has a lot Odin feathers coming in around her neck and head. She has been much quieter and cuddlier tha usual. She mostly just wants to be with me. Although she has her moments when she is her ful fledged self, yelling and chasing the others, and showing off. But mostly she is quieter than usual. I angering nasty bites when putting her to bed, which is no big deal, I know it will pass. She is eating a bit less than normal. Today she was in her cage for 10 hours and didn't touch one of her toys. She just ate her food and sat. She never touched her snack bowl, highly unusual. I don't believe she is sick at all, judging from her behaviour. Also, she wants to go to bed earlier... Just wondered if other amazons are quieter than usual when they molt.

Well, i keep checking in on my birds at work, all they do is sit there in their cages, quiet as can be...I feel sorry for them.... They seem much more active when I am home during the day.

I almost fell off my chair at work!! Thanks for the goood laugh on a Monday!

Great pics!!

Remember the days when we had monthly contests, sometimes in more than one room at a time? Well, we have 2 coming up soon, so get your feathers in place, your camera's charges, and get ready for a new contest to be announced this week!

It is house cleaning time again here at Greyforums. I am in need of a moderator or two for various rooms. Any suggestions, please PRIVATE MESSAGE me...Thank you! It is a THANKLESS, VOLUNTEERING JOB. Very low-paying, in fact none of us get any pay....we do it because we love our birds, love to help others, and enjoy our time here. I am looking to spur some new excitement into some of the rooms.....especially the Photography Room! Any thoughts, please PM me. Thank you!!

Great story! What an adorable bird.....a very lucky bird as well.

"People post questions because I feel they legitimately are looking for an answer, not some half-cocked response, symbol response or one laced heavily with sarcasm." Thank you, it bares repeating...

I always found it interesting how Nilah holds her food so much different than my greys do. As she eats, it is very dainty, suprising for an amazon I think. How bout it Cricket, Salsa and others?? Show us how well you hold your own food.

My daughter once took a Reike class and my pets seem to get the benefits of it.....not me tho.... Nilah expects it from my daughter for some reason, on Sunday mornings....the little bugger never gets enough, she will stay like this for over a half hour if you let her. And ALWAYS the left foot only. She will let me and others massage her left foot at other times.

Tonight, my daughter and I were watching tv, all the birds were in bed, and covered. We leave Piper covered only 3 sides of his cage cause he hates it! He started barking like my little Bichon who is a yippy little bugger. He barked and barked for a very long time, had us both suprised and laughing! That was a first for him!! Soooo smart! But still hates me.......oh well, I laugh about it, here I wanted a cockatiel so badly, and it doesn't want anything from me but FOOD! And I better share when I eat breakfast, or he yells at me.....lol

Yes, sounds like the honeymoon period is over and he is starting to settle in and change his ways. That is normal. You can't force a bird to accept everyone. It needs to be their choice who they desire and want to interact with, and who they choose to ignore. I have 6 birds, my cockatiel I got, haes me and loves my daughter, his choice, nothing I do changes that, so I accept it, clean and feed him, talk to him while my hands are hidden, otherwise he growls at me, and accept it. My greys change who their favorite one is periodically, we accept it, and go with the flow,. It makes a much more secure and happier bird.

Yes, there is no guarantee that introducing a grey to a bath regimen a certain way, will ensure that they like it. I have 2 greys, one will bathe on her own terms, and the other one rarely will, and again it is on her own terms. I learned that over a few years, you would think I was murdering them if I tried to get them wet in any way shape or form. Most important, don't force it, let THEM decide. It won't hurt them if they do not bathe weekly. IMO

No matter how many times I read this, it brings tears to my eyes, how heartbreaking. What a precious soul, he is blessed to have found you and Maggie.

Miggy, What are you reviving a 2 year old thread that obviously has no reverence to us these days.?

Nancy, I decided to stay with my alarm company that I already have. All the other companies were just as expensive, and I ave a lot of $$ invested in ths one. Door and window alarms, motion sensors, glass breaking sensors and extra boxes. I have 6 doors, tons of windows, so it's a big expense.

I have the DSC-930L. Seems to work well. I'm happy with it. I bought that one because it was wireless, has 2 way audio, an app for my phone as well as computer and I had a Best Buy gift card for $25 and the cost was $90 minus the gift card, so I ot it for $65.

Just wanted to update: I bought the D-Link web cam for my bird room. I can access it on my computer or phone anytime. It serves the purpose. It is supposed to be 2-way, but I can't seem to get it to work, only one way. My birds are very quiet and in active.....

Hello. Please tell us more about yourself. Do you have any birds?

Ugh...hate winter!

Wow! That's fantastic RAY!!!!! I wish my birds would WANT to go back in their cages, but never! Would love to see a video of that.

Jay, I HAVE NOTICED!!! I highly respect the new you just as I did the old o was well!

Thanks Nancy, but these are my rules...the ones I allow. It was much worse as I posted on another thread about bedtime and Nilah. I allow her this special time with me.....she's adorable ! There are some nights, it is short and I make her step up, but how can I possibly pass up this precious time of cuddles, love and bonding with her? She has such limited time with me one on one, this is OUR time and I cherish it most nights.....

Tomorrow, Saturday is Talon's birthday! She will be 7 years old. She is the oldest in my house. She has always been so sweet. But she is the joker of the flock. She plays tricks on us and then laughs when she got us!! Pretty smart if you ask me!! She has now started asserting herself when it comes to Nilah trying to bully her. When Talon makes up her mind that something is her's she will stand her ground until Nilah gets the message and flies off. Talon is the most well behaved one as well, she gets to stay out of her cage more because I know she will behave if I am outside, the others have to go to jail!!!
