Welcome back Dee, glad to hear you still want to have that grey, you certainly should be well prepared to have all this time to research so you know what you are getting into but I hope that it all works out for you and you have that grey soon.

Happy Birthday Penny (Bird) may it be the best one yet.

That cage is big enough for macaws so it is definitely too big for a Tag, you are right the spacing should be no more than 3/4 inch, you should still be able to find a good sized cage with that spacing, you will just have to look around for it. Most sites will tell you what type birds are suited to a particular cage.

Jake is quite the talker, you must have caught him at the right time, thanks for sharing that with us.

That is definitely sexual behavior and it should be discouraged for it will only make him frustrated, refrain from touching any of these areas; down the back, under the wings or anywhere around the tail area, just tell him thanks but no thanks and walk away for a few minutes. Aris has really warmed up to you in the few weeks you have had him, he is a great looking grey.

Issac the entertainer, he is awesome with that cup, loves the way he holds on to it and brings it up on the table, he is getting a lot of pleasure out of a simple cup, who needs expensive toys, thanks for sharing that with us Stephen and check in more often ya hear.

Well at least you thought of it before using it but I have asked a member to help if he can so be patient.

I don't know myself but maybe one of the members will know but you are smart to wait to use your new oven until you find out.

I don't know the answer to this question but she needs to be kept busy with things to chew or foraging opportunities, things that will keep her busy and not thinking of her feathers, especially when she is alone, look thru the toys and playstands room for lots of ideas.

Wayne our prayers have been answered, you are a lucky chap to get your precious Luigi back and I bet he was plenty hungry, yes keep an eye on him but this makes my day and I bet you are on cloud nine, thanks for letting us know.

I look forward to the adventures of Emma and her dad as they get to know one another but it looks like its going smoothly so far but be prepared for a few setbacks as they always come, think in terms of small steps, sometimes we have to take a step back but it all works out in the end.

You do what you have to keep them both safe, of course after the little one grows some it will be moot, sacrifices everyone has to make concessions and sacrifices.

I hope there are some pearls, I am partial to pearls I guess because of my Gypsy but only do it if you can find homes for them.

Ray, you know its never smart to keep a lady waiting.

Well congrats on your new to you grey, that's how it goes sometimes, the bird picks you and you can't say no. I would give her time to settle into her new home and let her set the pace of when she allows more interaction. Her holding her wings out could have meant she was a little hot inside that carrier, they hold their wings away from their body when overheated. I look forward to hearing more about her and maybe seeing some pictures, have you named her yet?

Since you haven't had him that long it is probably what he used to do and is just now doing it in his new home, his true personality is showing itself though it is something you would rather not hear but the only way to get him to stop is to ignore it, just turn your back to him and walk away for if you give him any kind of reaction, good or bad will only encourage him to do it further for his amusement. When he has been quiet for a bit then reward his good behavior but in no way reward him when he squawks. He is probably picking up on your displeasure and even if it is just a scowl on your face he notices that so ignore it but it will take time.

I wish my grey would do that but she tries in her water dish sometimes right after I have given her a bath, I enjoyed watching Misty do hers.

I have similar type travel cages that Kizzybird has, they are durable and not heavy to carry, everyone should have one for each bird in case of an emergency.

Hello Augdog and welcome to our family. I am so sorry you lost your beloved Petrie but you are right, you can never replace her but you can fill that hole in your heart for another. We need to know where you are located so we can be of some help but if you are in the US you can google avianbiotech or birdbreeders to find any close to you.

Gracie is such a sweetheart and its obvious she is well socialized, you have set a wonderful example for the rest of us.

You have two beautiful macaws who get along nicely, thanks for sharing the pictures with us.

Zoey Henry is a handsome fella, thanks for sharing the photo with us.

Hello Jonathan and welcome to our family. The bands are particular to each breeder so really there is no way to determine what the numbers and letters mean. He should have no problems with the trip especially if he loves to ride in the car, just make sure he has fresh water and food to eat along with a couple of things to play with. My grey loves to ride in the car also, she will talk at times and play with some of her toys, hope you have a safe and happy trip. Would love to see some pictures of Zoey Henry if you have some you would share with us.

I will be keeping good thoughts about both these people, may they heal quickly.

I hope you get Luigi back so keep looking and ask everyone in the neighborhood, keeping good thoughts you hear good news soon.
