Talon

Thanks Nancy! Nilah is quite the cuddler, she only wants to be with me, and just wants to be petted and paid attention to. I can't imagine her being any calmer, although she does have her moments where she is into everything.... Lately, she has been snuggling in to my side when I sit on the couch and makes soundalike a duck......guess,it's spring....although she is only 3 yrs old.

Oh, I have table perches for,them with food cups right on the table, but all 3 of them will march on over to our plates and eat until their hearts content going from plate to plate. Rikki even grabs the fork out of my hand and pulls my hand away with it repeatedly, like I'm not allowed to eat my own food that I cooked!!! For lunch most days, I eat yogurt and there isn't much to share, so I will take my yogurt and run upstairs into my bedroom and slamming my door shut to eat my lunch ALL BY MYSELF in front of my computer.

Yes, it's looks like grapes juice, my birds love them, and sometimes their cages look like that, plus their one foot will e stained red like blood.

Very nice! What a lucky birds!!!

Yes, zinc is very harmful!

There are numerous threads here regarding feedback on this site. None of it positive...

I use a ceiling mount for plants or lights, but make sure you get the one for hollow ceilings unless you have a stud to put it into. It comes with a special attachment for hollow walls and a weight limit of 35 lbs.

here you go! I have bought many things from her, all are hand made, and they are the best toys and the most durable ones I have ever found! Very reasonably priced as well. You can shoot her an email and she will customize for you!! Very nice lady!! http://www.oliversgarden.com/

All greyt advice! I cover all my cages, but as Judy says, my cages are so big that the sheet barely covers the top half. Talon who sleeps in my bedroom, not with the others, requires a nightlite or she will have night terrors... The others don't, but I am very vocal about bedtime, scrithes, time for bed, nite nites, see you in the morning, love you Rikki, Nilah, Talon.. They know what bedtime is and will get in their sleep spot before I cover them.

Oooohhhhh mmmmyyyyyyyyy! And here I thought it was my extravagant lifestyle! Lol! Thanks for putting it all in perspective. I have 3 wow, now I know why we never have $$ to take a vacation!

Hard to read your adventure, poor wild caughts, my heart breaks for them. But congrats on your new addition! I'm happy for you.

Actually, it is their plate for breakfast, I get to sneak a few pieces when they aren't looking...

Thank everyone. Rikki doesn't do it too often, but Talon does. I always wondered if it was normal...

I bought it from a place in Canada, I will post the link if you want. Very reasonably priced and all handmade.

I had to put empty cardboard boxes on TOP of my kitchen cabinets to keep my birds from chewing the tops of my cupboards. There are about 5 right now. They spend lots of time renovating them......every once and a while. I throw it away when there is not much left and replace it. That keeps them busy starting all over again. I know it isn't necessarily a good thing as it encourages egg laying...but for now, I am risking it.

Nilah's new toy! She LOVES it!! Well...it was supposed to be for Talon, but Nilah didn't give her a chance to try it out yet...

Just wanted to share how Talon prefers her peanut butter...

Does anyone else here with a timneh have wings that do this? This seems to be her preferred position....she can hold them tucked in like Rikki does( normal) but she tends to prefer them this way. She is an excellent flier, better than my others bigger birds. Sorry about the blurriness, but these were taken with my cell phone and she kept moving every time I took a picture.

Here is a perfect example of how Nilah feels about food. It's all hers!!!! When we have chicken & gravy,sShe stands in the gravy and eats, or stands in the spaghetti and sauce...!!! It's always on MY plate!!!!!!!

Welcome! I too am glad you have waited to bring your baby home. You are one smart parront already! Keep us posted.
