Well whats another couple of finches when you have so many, I used to have a couple of those society finches, prolific little suckers, they were always laying eggs and raising little ones and I used to give them away to family members. Enjoy your little finches Berna:)

Dang nab it Spooky, you got another winner there, that Nikko belongs in show business:laugh:

Pat its called keratin, that is the stuff covering the new feathers when they come in and yes as it breaks up it falls off like dander.

Hello Elizcas and welcome to the family, so glad you decided to join us and we look forward to hearing more about you and Sam. Thats pretty much what draws all of us here is to learn all we can about our greys and what it takes to make them healthy and happy for some of us didn't know much before we jumped in to grey ownership. Take a little time and read thru the many threads for lots of useful information and do not hesitate to ask questions you may have. We will do our best to get you some answers and help you in any way we can. If you have some pictures of Sam you would like to share with us we would love to see them.

I think you are about right Penny but maybe a little smaller like 300-400 for Tags and 350-500 for Cags but then that is my opinion.

Hello Bettyboop and welcome to the family, so glad you could join us and we look forward to hearing more about you and Sammy. Oh yeah Sammy is going to try to see what he can get by with like any child would so you better let him know who is boss or he will have you wrapped around his little talon. I am glad to hear you are planning to be his best and last owner, he needs the stability of a forever home and with your love and attention he will thrive on it. Take a little time and read thru the many threads for lots of useful information and do not hesitate to ask questions you may have. We will do our best to get you some answers and help0 you in any way we can. If you have some pictures of Sammy you would like to share with us we would love to see him. We also have an other birds room where you may share a pic of your alexandrine parrot.

Done I just voted and I challenge everyone to vote, it's your right so just do it!!!:lol:<br><br>Post edited by: judygram, at: 2008/04/03 01:40

I love flowers and tulips are one of my favorites in the spring, thanks for sharing them with us.

Those are some wonderful photos of Talon, I love them and thanks so much for sharing them with us:P

You do have time for birds, its not like you have to to spend all that time with the bird right there in front of you, a lot of the time will be spent just being in the same room with you since they are flock creatures. You do have the money but then she may have other ideas for that (I know I am a woman) but this is something you really want and I think you should have it. She probably doesn't envision a cage as part of the home decor but I didn't much like having mounted animals as part of my decor but they are there for my husband is a hunter so I live with it, of course my 2 cages (I have 2 parrots) are part of that family room too so my Josey has 2 mounted turkeys on the wall over where her cage is:S Funny thing is if you go ahead and get the grey she will probably end up falling in love with it and then problem solved but I hate to see you give up something you have wanted for so long, she needs to give a little, thats what marriage is, give and take. But then we are on your side.

Hello WikiV and welcome to the family, so glad you decided to join us and we look forward to hearing more about you and your quest for another grey. I understand how you feel about the greys, once you have had one you know what awesome creatures they are and want one to be part of your life. I think your wife would come around if you did bring one into the house, they grow on you real quick. I am sure there have been things that she wanted real badly and got it so why can't you have something you have been wanting. My husband wasn't real keen on my getting my grey but I didn't let that stop me, if I want something badly enough I am going to get it and if he should say I can't then I am going to get it just to spite him but that is how I am, may not work for you. What kind of excuses is she using to talk you out of it? Maybe we can help you with that. Since you have previously had one you know what all is involved in keeping one. Take a little time and read thru the many threads for lots of useful information and do ask questions you may have. We will do our best to get you some answers and help you in any way we can. Good luck to you in your pursuit of grey ownership, I think we can win her over if you give us a chance.

Was Magicalem saying spray millet or spraying the sunflower seeds with a multi vitamin before offering them to Sensei? The spray millet is fine but I don't know about the spray vitamin on the seeds especially if the seed is in the shell, they don't eat the shell just the nut.:huh:

Sounds like Sam had a bad wing clipping job for she should not be crash landing and hurting herself. Why don't you give us a little more info so we can be of some more help to you? Then you can introduce yourself in the welcome room and tell us a little more about you and Sam.

Awww Beccy say it ain't so, you have been gone for so long and we do miss you very much but I understand if it can't be helped so here is hoping it gets straightened out soon so we have you back with us again having fun.

Hello RustyJames and welcome to the family, we are so glad you could join us and we look forward to hearing more about you and Charlie. We need a little more info from you to be able to advise you. How long have you had Charlie and how old is he? Has he had previous owners before you? Take a little time and read thru the many threads for lots of useful and helpful information and do ask questions you may have. We will do our best to get you some answers and help you in any way we can. If you have some pictures of Charlie you would like to share with us we would love to see him.

I think Dave has way too much time on his hands:whistle: What do you think Tracy?:lol: :laugh:

Well dang nab it Hannah, I was looking forward to seeing a new pic of that foraging tree, what a bummer, but get one posted as soon as you can.

I second Tracy's recommendation, he needs to be seen by an avian vet now, don't take chances with your baby.

Well I am going to chime in too and say that Josey does the same thing.B)

I'm so glad you are enjoying her so much and she obviously enjoys her showers with you, thanks for the update Kristine:P

Now that you mention it they do, thanks Berna you summed it up in such a short sentence.:lol:

Now that you mention it, I may need those things called "Depends" if this keeps up:laugh: :woohoo:

It's a baby grey explosion but these we like, congrats to all the new babies that came home this past weekend may they bring so much joy to their owner's lives.

The prospect of getting karma should be an incentive for more participation but time will tell.

Its the new feather that comes out and is surrounded by a sheath kind of white looking and will feel slightly stiff to the touch, they will be sticking out slightly beyond the other feathers and you can feel them too.
