That was one of the first things I learned when I first brought parrots especially a grey into my home is to place one side of the cage against a wall, it gives them some security.

Come to my house and you might hear Josey saying "bird turd" what were we thinking.:rolleyes:

They are sweet and innocent at this age and I am looking forward to hearing and seeing lots more about this new addition.

Always cook potatoes before serving them and my suggestion is to try the same vegetables raw and cooked, sometimes they prefer certain ones cooked, you just have to keep experimenting to find their favorites but do offer a lot of leafy green types like kale, collards, swiss chard, mustard or beet tops, they pack a lot of nutrition.

Your relationship was just meant to be, too bad it was way too short.

Those dark eyes get me every time, love those babies and Stanley is a handsome fella.

It sounds like he is wanting more food, maybe soft food as in what he was fed before weaning, try offering him some warm cooked oatmeal or maybe some baby food with a spoon, he might just need some comfort food.

A baby this young is insecure plus being in a new environment is a little overwhelming right now but he will be more independent as time goes by.

Oh what an exciting day to finally be here, looking forward to pictures.

The gentle giants, they are lovely birds and lucky you Carol to get to have one stay with you for a bit, enjoy.

She is taking up the slack that the loss of Mar has created, she senses your pain and its her way of consoling you, whatever the reason for it I am glad it has happened, enjoy it.

Lovebirds come in many different colors but that one is very bright colored, very pretty, looking forward to seeing how Ariel comes out of her shell, bet she has a personality as bright as she is.

No one else but us understands the pain you felt when you lost Cricket and at a time like this its what family does, they come together and share your grief, you are never alone on this forum.

Looking forward to hearing and seeing lots of pictures of Rocco, congrats on your new addition to the flock.

I love my hummers and put out feeders for them every spring, I love to watch them chase each other away from "their" feeder and have had them buzz by my head when outside near the feeders.

I am in awe while ROTFLMAO

She may be gone but never forgotten as the Amazon room is now Cricket's Amazon Room, how fitting that her name graces it as she graced all of us thru Ray.

I am so sorry for your loss of Sunshine, what a beautiful cat and I am partial to the yellow ones, reminds me of Garfield but he lives on in your heart and your memories.

Its only fitting that the Amazon Room bear her name, she will be sorely missed.

Hello Micky and welcome to our family. I think we all can call our greys naughty at times, its what makes them so special but they sure do get their talons wrapped around our hearts. Fifi is an adorable looking grey and I look forward to hearing and seeing a lot more of her.

Ray I am so sorry to hear this, I know Cricket meant the world to you and we all enjoyed hearing about her, I am in shock myself as I can hardly believe it, I know you are devastated but you did have many wonderful years with her and she loved you unconditionally, please accept my condolences on your loss, she is flying free over the rainbow bridge.

He does seem to be enjoying the great outdoors and what opportunities that presents to you and him for future outings, kids do love seeing birds outside with their owners.

Happy Hatchday Ruby, you gorgeous bird, getting all spoiled today I hope.

Just thought you would enjoy this as I did. http://blog.petflow.com/no-one-thought-this-eagle-would-ever-fly-again-until-a-hero-proved-them-wrong-im-in-tears/#8julCXV4mwUz3qpX.01

Thank you so much for giving Scarlet a new forever home and wow an egg. About the egg, leave it with her for if you remove it that may encourage her to lay another to replace it though she may lay another one anyways, just do not provide anything she could make a nest out of for you don't want to encourage egg laying. If she lays another or two just leave them for a couple of weeks until she loses interest in them then start removing them one at a time until they are all gone. You might want to up her calcium intake at this time offering foods like some eggshell and other calcium rich foods. Thats sad she was not out of her cage for so long but now she can enjoy time out of her cage, even though it might be roomy nothing takes the place of quality time out to be with her family. You say she will not perch, do you mean step up? If so then allow her to come out of her cage on her own and then ask her to step up offering your hand to step up on, we do have some threads about teaching birds to step up so be sure to check them out. Yes regurgitating food is a sign of affection but you don't want to encourage it, when she does this just say "thank you" and then walk away.
