Chris you are not a pain, asking questions is good and we don't mind answering them so ask away and Dave has been a great help in giving you the answers you need. I hope you do get some pictures of the babies and share them with us please.

Hello Pam and welcome to our family, so glad you could finally introduce yourself and we hope to hear a lot more about you and your grey, btw what is his name?

That is surprising to me because Josey loves most any kind of bean but the sprouted beans just might be the trick.

Thank heavens you have Milo back but please don't let that happen again as it might not have the same happy ending.

You are so fortunate to have someone close that has a hyacinth that you can love on for they do say they are the gentle giants but you are the perfect one for one of the larger birds if you have no fear of those big beaks for they tend to intimidate most people including me, I will stick with the smaller parrots as in nothing bigger than my grey, I know my limitations.

I have never been able to find any sugarcane here in any grocery stores so Josey has never tried that treat but it is good seeing Cocoa enjoying hers, thanks for sharing it with us.

OMG Steve, go stay by that tree and keep your eyes on her and don't let her out of your sight, I wish I could help you but I am across the big pond from you.

Milo is enjoying her time in the sunshine and the fresh air and that anti-cat weapon looks like he might have a soft heart for cats thanks for sharing the pics with us Steve.

I'm sorry Bonnie that your dream of having a B & G macaw is not to be at least for the near future but all things happen for a reason and if it is meant for you to have one then it will happen but an amazon would be a good choice too.

You are such a good person to do this for that owner and he won't recognize his baby when he gets back, not because it has grown some but because it is clean, it doesn't take long to clean off the food if it is done right after feeding and not letting it set until it gets hard. I am sure you will point this out to him and he looks so good afterwards too and so contented there with his full crop. Thanks for sharing the pictures with us and it looks like Cocoa was wanting scratches from the new baby, so sweet.

Hello >^..^< and welcome to our family, so glad you could join us and we look forward to hearing more about you and your fids. I like your log in "name" but would you share your first name with us. I won't go into detail of what I would have said to the pet store clerk but she should mind her own business if she wants my business, enough said. It doesn't surprise me that no one spoke in favor of clipping the wings but we do have a few members who do clip their birds wings and it is a personal choice and they may have very good reasons for doing so but most members do not clip and it is our responsibility to make sure we make our homes bird safe and be diligent about keeping exterior doors closed to prevent a possible escape. I commend you for taking in rescued birds and as you have found out they can make excellent pets, they just need some time and a lot of love. Now we would like to see some pictures of your birds if you have some you would share with us. BTW, what are your bird's names?

You can give Kya roasted unsalted shelled peanuts, the unshelled peanuts are what can carry mold, I buy human grade peanuts for my fids.

That was amazing, unbelievable if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, thanks for sharing that with us.

Hello Kim and welcome to our family, so glad you are getting a baby grey and very soon now you will be in for a treat of a lifetime. We would love to see some pictures of your new little baby when you get it figured out.

Cocoa gets to go on so many great adventures, she sure is a lucky fid, thanks for sharing it with us.

Cocoa picked up on those new colors, they really do notice the simplest things that we wouldn't pay much attention to, yes it will take some time for her to get used to the new colors but she will.

Hello Squid and welcome to our family, so glad to hear you have taken in a rescue grey and I look forward to hearing more about you, Eric and Echo. You have certainly come to the right place looking for advice for we have plenty of it in our many threads so browse thru them at your leisure and do ask those questions you may have and we will help you in any way we can. We love pictures here so if you have some of Eric and Echo you would share with us we would love to see them.

Sometimes I find that the more I learn the more I find I need to learn but yes we all learn something new every day.

What a shame, seems some of our greys are just too smart for their own good!

That is pretty funny but that steam can be very hot so don't know whether it is a good idea to let him continue to do that for I would hate for him to get burned but just like children, they can do the darnedest things!

Aww she looks so cute in her little red harness, she is a sweet looking baby grey thats for sure and growing by leaps and bounds, yep flight is right around the corner and I know you can't wait.

I know what they are, they are gorgeous, absolutely gorgeous and you take very good pictures as you can see every little detail, very nice pictures of very nice looking amazons, thanks so much for sharing them with us.

Men, they never learn do they, sorry I couldn't resist!

Or you two can exchange email addresses if it proves to be quicker to get in touch with one another if needed, thanks so much for helping Tanya out with the baby tiel.
