Talon

Thank you all for such greatly detailed information. But one more question, what woods are safe to use WITH the bark on, I know my birds would love to chew it off and I want to allow them that opportunity when I start adding wood to their cages, etc.

How exciting. You only have to ask one question......what time today can I come pick him up?

Today is Nilah's 3rd Birthday!! It has been 2 1/2 years of nothing but FUN, LOVE & AMUSEMENT from her! We (especially me) love her to pieces!! She has really bonded to me, and I love how she calls me "bird"..:cool:

Yes Judy, remember the thread I started about buying rabbit toys for our birds cause they were great for chewing and very inexpensive? Check that section of the pet store out, they have some great stuff that by birds love!!

Ha ha a, thanks Doug....I did find that thread, but wasn't sure if it was the water bowl or the litter pan, thus my ? Thanks all for your replies! Oh and it's Talon...

Oh my god! I am so upset and angry! I feel really bad for you. Don't give up, stay positive and gather up all the info you can. Ad please print out your posts here as proof of what you have gone thru in your purchase, it may help...

I feel the need to bump this before I go off on a rampage.... sorry all........

How adorable! Can't wait to hear and follow this adventure.

I can't seem to find the correct thread, but somewhere i think, Ray or Jay you posted a picture of your corner bathing dish. I was wondering if it was a ferret one or a rabbit one. Was it a litter pan or water dish? I want to order one for each of my greys but want to find the same type that some of you use. Some recommendations please? Thank you!!

I'm thinking roots like roots from a small tree or plant, I guess you are thinking differently...

Well, if anyone can make it work, it will be you! I'm not that clever or creative. I bought my big mazanta tree from the Bird of Paradise store in NJ. It was used by them, and I got it for an incredibly cheap price compared to the new ones they had on display. it didnt look used to me.. But I cant wait to see what you come up with...")

What do you mean by roots? Aren't roots unstable?

I believe it is a mazanta tree stand. I have one, and they are beautiful, easy to clean and no problems with aspergillus.

I couldn't agree more!

I have an iPad that I use all the time as you can tell by the stupid auto-text in my posts at ties.... other than them watching bird videos, they show no interest in it unless they are chewing the corners when they think I'm not noticing duh! My cat goes nuts when I play the meow piraña app, you should try it! It's hilarious to watch.

Doug is right, different scales will be different weights. That is too big of a drop in such a small amount of time! Not really possible. You will see a difference in their weight before and after their morning bomb tho. ; Doug, your wife must love having you tinker with everything in the house for entertainment!!! That made me crack up! Lol

No truer words were ever spoken. Amazons have an over abundance of love to give you. I do know that a grey owner would think they have it all with their precious grey, I thought the same with my 2. But I could never imagine the love and joy and happiness that Nilah brings to me. I love the balance between the amazon and the grey. Unless you've been lucky enough to experience it, there are no words to explain it, but I must say, You came the closest! Thank you!

Yes, my advice is to say away from acidic foods and drinks. Drink lots of alkaline water. Kidney stones happen from lack of water and acidic foods and drinks.

Talon and Rikki will be 7 years old this year. Nilah will be 3 years next week.

Oh my! Thats terrible. My birds have potty baskets, they usually go in them, or else I keep an eye on their body language, that lets me know,when they are going to go.

Many greys just don't like to be touched, cuddles or scratched. I have 3 parrots, one that I have had since 8 weeks, she never likes to cuddle or be touched. The other 2 love it. So you never know...they all have different personalities, likes and dislikes.

You are lucky, cause Talon has been in the shower with me for the past 7 years almost daily, she will perch on the shower rod, or mostly on top of the shower head which does have a hose like the one you showed us, and she will stick her head under just enough to drink the water that comes out over and over again, but OMG! DON'T GET HER WET!!!! I've spent 7 years trying all kinds of different and gentle ways, no way will she let her precious feathers get wet by anyone other than her!

Yea Judy, we HAVE to go to Bird Paradise together!!!! What a blast we would have and we can spend oodles of money we don't have!!!!! Thats what they make plastic cards for.. Lol

I always enjoy listening to Dayo, he sounds just like you Dan, such a deep voice! Especially when all us gals here have greys that speak in female voices!

Scumbags! How infuriating!!! I must say I am suprised a pet store would not have security cameras in place. Many owners of parrots I know, myself included, have security alarms on doors and windows of their homes as people have been known to break into houses where they hear parrots and steal them...
