Thanks Dan, karma for you:kiss:

You have a beautiful baby Empera, thanks for sharing a couple of pics with us. I wouldn't worry too much about the nipping right now as he may be using it to steady himself or testing things out and that is normal. If it continues on in the coming weeks then I would start with the no bite and put him back in his cage. I am sure in a few days or so he will start using his perches, he is in a new environment right now and he needs a little time to settle in and feel comfortable. Let us know how it goes with him but so far so good.

Josey does not throw too much of her food out but she does occasionally pick up some of her pellets with her talon to eat them, and some of them fall to the floor of her cage. What she is fond of is throwing her toys off the side of her playtop to the floor and then looking to see where it landed, like she wants me to come over and pick it up for her to throw again, nope I don't fall for that tactic.:whistle:

Thanks Dan for doing that for us, does Greg no good but at least now he knows that site is scam material. Dave brings up a good thing about PayPal, I use that too and you can feel safe using it to pay for online purchases.

Oh no, I see another run on toys, first it was Legos and now it is Playschool play blocks, he is enjoying them for sure, thanks for sharing a pic of Mica with his new toy. B)

Mushrooms are a fungus and it is one of the foods forbidden for greys in any form. Rbtjawjaboy1, why don't you introduce yourself in the welcome room and tell us a little about you and your grey if you have one.

I agree, I don't think you should be looking to get rid of your grey Dan, please think this over carefully before you make a possible mistake. We have all heard this story before and I am not coming down on you but just letting you know how I feel about it. You should never make the decision to get rid of your grey just because you have a new child coming into your life. What if it was the other way around, you wouldn't get rid of the baby just because you wanted to get a grey, same difference. Think about it for a minute, you made a lifetime committment to this grey, you love her and adore her, now how can you realisticly consider not letting her be a part of your life. We all have changes we have to deal with in our lives but we consider our flock a part of our lives and therefore we include them in with those changes. We adapt, yes maybe you will have less time to spend with your grey when the baby arrives but as time goes by you will be able to spend more time than when the baby is young. Greys can be adaptive if you make those changes gradually and not all of a sudden, she will still thrive on quality time spent with her and not necessarily quantity of time. I would just hate to see you let go of her and then live to regret it so please think long and hard before you committ to this decision for once she is gone that is it.

Just look at that beautiful red hair, yes she was aptly named, she is a gorgeous girl with freckles across her cheeks, thanks for sharing her with us. No I don't think it is the hair color, I haven't quite figured out why Sunny acts the way she does, maybe it is a gender thing for she acts differently around my grandson but who knows. I do know one thing, all of them love animals but my grandson is gentler with animals than the two girls are so maybe that is it, he doesn't try forcing himself on them and the two girls are more intruding.

This is wonderful Sandra that you know of someone as there is usually someone looking and someone needing and if this works out then maybe it was meant to be. Please let us know if this works out or not.

I am not from Texas, from Virginia but we do have quite a few members who hail from Texas, maybe they will be able to help you find a good avian vet for Bo.

We do have some members from Texas and maybe some of them will help you out with finding a good avian vet in your area. Have a safe and uneventful move then hurry back to us.

I have one similar but it is the tabletop version and Josey tends to stay on the top rung, the highest point is where they would rather stay.

Most greys do not like loud kids especially ones who run around like a chicken with their head cut off. My Josey does not pay much attention to my grandkids and they leave her pretty much alone as I have warned them she could bite if they get too close. My sun conure, Sunny though has taken a dislike for my grandgirls, she will lean out to get them if they get too close to me when she is sitting on my shoulder, she will tolerate my grandson but the girls are something else. She will even bite me, not in aggression but to warn me that one of them is too close, funny little brat, otherwise she is sweet as sugar, good thing my grandgirls live further away and are not here that often. Seven, that is a madhouse, glad it is you and not me:whistle: three is my limit:lol:

Sorry to hear you are under the weather Kimberly, but don't blame Mom as she didn't mean to make you sick but there is a lot of stuff going around and I have been sick with it too along with many others. Having some hot tea spiked may not make you feel any better but maybe it will make you not be as aware of how miserable you feel. :whistle: :unsure: :laugh:

Dave gives good lessons Amanda and he should know as he has had pet and breeder greys for many years.

I think that just because Ash allowed you to put your hand on his back to get him back into the cage doesn't mean that your mum could do the same thing. Greys allow different actions from different people but that doesn't mean that he dislikes her any, he just didn't want her putting her hand on his back. But I have to give her credit where credit is due, she still accomplished the feat of getting him back into his cage even though he was ripping her apart, she is a brave woman and should not take offense to Ash, he was just doing what comes natural for him. Maybe he just needs more time to come to allow her to put him back into his cage or maybe he will just have to stay in his cage when she is taking care of him while you are gone. It will be interesting to see how this plays out in the future so please keep us informed.

Charlie does look to be enjoying his new tower and of course they tend to want to be on the highest perch, thanks for sharing the pics with us.

I am so sorry to hear of this news Jessica and my heart goes out to you, I will keep you and Rouge in my thoughts and prayers.

I predict a run on Legos is coming, the next must-have for greys. {Feel-good-000200BB}

What a way with words and such a tribute to Shanti, you two are so blessed to have each other and I too shall follow your blog, thanks for sharing it with us.

Sure, maybe a couple, it will give him something to do while being on the playstand.

Everybody but me has snow, its not fair, its not fair. {Feel-bad-0002006A}

Just remember baby steps Marla, it will take time and it will come in small steps, a little at a time and I can imagine that one day you will look back on all this and be surprised.

My grey is relatively quiet, more so than my sun conure but I have them both in the family room where we spend most of our time. As Dave said they need to be with the family so they can feel a part of the flock.
