I have heard they like sugar cane but don't know where I could get my hands on any.

Julio is a handsome fellow all right, and he has some red factor in him too, so special, thanks for sharing a few pictures with us. I would remove the stuffed toy, you want to diminish the amount of sexual frustration for his own sanity. That playstand is similar to one I have for Josey, very large and takes up a lot of room, but she loves it.

Pomes are good, very good but some members don't like to feed them to their greys for they are so messy and the seeds and stuff end up on the walls, floors and everything in the area they consume them in, makes a huge mess, but what the heck, cleans up with a little soap and water.:laugh:

Hello Chickendog and welcome to the family, glad you could join us and we look forward to hearing more about you and Charlie. I know that this is the way you found us for I have searched the internet myself and if you put in grey and forum, we come up first, and we are the best by far as you will find out. That is such a wonderful story of how you came to get Charlie, it was meant for you to have him and I know you take very good care of him, and he is a man you can trust, believe me. Please read thru the many threads on various topics for lots of useful information and do not hesitate to ask us specific questions you may have. We will do our best to get you an answer and help you in any way we can. If you have any pictures of Charlie you would like to share with us we would love to see him.

Yes Tracy is right, offer more veggies than fruits and she provided an excellent link for you to read. Gizmo certainly has you wrapped around his little beak doesn't he but then we are all suckers for them:laugh:

Well I guess this proves that bigger is not always better at least as far as Noah is concerned, but glad it is looking up for you and him. Wow, what a change he has made from just downsizing the cage for him, glad you figured this out and keep us informed of his further progress. Thanks for the update.

A sticky means it will always be at the top of the list in the room it is in which happens to be off-topic discussions so you can find it quicker. I have never smoked but I can imagine it is not easy to quit and there is no magic fix but if you want it badly enough you will find a way to do it. We will be here to help you in any way we can and just take it one day at a time. You be strong and hang in there, I know you can do it.

If your little cousins are very young, most greys will do that around them, they are too fast and loud and greys tend to not like being around them but the growling won't stress him out unless they start harrassing him.

I love the photos Dan, Dayo is a real swinger isn't he, thanks for sharing them with us.

Thanks for the update Rik, Buster and Diamond are going to be settled in very soon I'm sure with your patience and guidance.

Maybe he is just not having a good day, give him some space and see if he gets over it.

Glad to hear the misting went so well, wish I could say the same for Josey, she tolerates it but does not enjoy it:huh: :laugh:

I'll take your word for it, Kat, Josey is not a closet talker, she goes thru her whole vocabulary with us in the room with her and she will actually answer back to us when we talk to her sometimes.

No I haven't Sandra, but I am going to see if I can catch it on again sometime, thanks for mentioning it, I will look for it.

Well congrats Rik for getting your greys and glad to hear that they are adjusting nicely so quickly. I look forward to seeing some pictures and please tell us some more about them, I want to know the details.

Oh yes Tracy, some of the finches can be very colorful and these gouldian are no exception, thanks for sharing these with us BMustee.

You have done a great job here Tracy, you finally got Soldier to join the others in the bird room and that is wonderful that they get along so well, speaks well of your ability to accomplish what you set out to do, you go girl, karma for you dear.:kiss:

It is so funny to hear your own laugh coming from their mouth, and Josey does it almost better than I can.:laugh:

My Josey is DNA sexed as female and she is a Cag and she has the rounded head just like the female in Connie's post. Interesting!!!:cheer:

Thats ok about the karma, I have plenty.:laugh: Thats so sweet about Rosie, she knew she belonged to you and I know that made you feel so special. So she has started up the plucking again, maybe the aloe vera juice spray will help her skin feel better, hope so. I guess we all love talking about our birds and I love hearing about other's birds and what they are doing and saying, some of the members have shared some really funny stories with us about their antics.

I look forward to it, and don't berate yourself, I bet you are just shy.

Hello Debbie and welcome to the family, glad you could join us and we look forward to hearing more about you and your two greys, Nala and Rosie. Have you had these two since they were babies? Do you have any other birds or pets in your household? I know I am being nosy but we like to know a little about our members since we consider ourselves a family here. I am sorry to hear of the shredding feathers problem but the air being so dry is probably causing their skin to be dry and itchy but the aloe vera juice may help. Have you considered using a humidifier to raise the humidity in your house, sometimes that helps dry skin. Please read thru the many threads on various topics for lots of useful information and do not hesitate to ask us specific questions you may have. We do our best to get you some answers and help you in any way we can. If you have any pictures of Nala and Rosie you would like to share with us we would love to see them.

He really is a sweet looking bird and that is great that he does so well in spite of his deformed feet, of course he does not know he is different. That is so sad that the other people didn't want him anymore because he was not "perfect" but he is so special, I can tell from your posts you adore him.

Debbie we use it full strength, we don't mix any water in with it. Why don't you introduce yourself in the welcome room and tell us a little about you and if you have a grey.

Terri I would like to have been a fly on the wall for that meeting, Bella was the hit of it wasn't she, I know how you feel, Josey mimics my laugh perfectly. Glad to hear you have taken the ball and rolled with it so to speak, you are a go getter and count me in. Karma your way!!!
