Thanks I hope so, because I'll be a lunatic until she does Last night when we got home, I gave her an apple soaked in a little pedi-light (sp) gobbled that up. We had to stop by Walmart to pick a few things up, I had her in the cart, I was surprised no one batted an eye lol, she seemed to like it, definitely not stressed out by our little outing

Saw vet tonight, Loki is to skinny, weight 455 grams, and she's a little dehydrated, no skin problems ie mites etc, feathers are growing back in around head and face, wing is not damaged but is feather less, vet showed me that they are in fact growing back, looked down throat, all good there. No blood work done tonight, she wants me to try and get more weight on her, we'll be going back in a couple weeks to see how our progress is, unless I feel that I need to come back sooner, vet was glad to hear that I haven't seen any feathers on bottom of cage, so we don't think that she is plucking. Edit to add, the reason for not doing blood work tonight, the vet felt it would be unnecessary at this time, to not stress Loki out anymore then need be.

Omg! I have never laughed so hard reading this thread Your baby is so stinking cute!!

Ray P Thank you for reading and replying I've been a long time lurker here, and have always loved learning so much from this board, Loki is the reason I finally joined. Greywings, Thank you, my babies eat very well, better than me in fact when we took in our 1st 2 babies, I would pull up this site, so I could food shop. LOL kimkim Acappella, Thank you for replying, I'll have to get back to you on that, as to whether they are a challenge Luvparrots, Thank you! So you're telling me that zons are easier than greys? this is going to be fun . I'm a chatterbox, so I talk all.the.time. to my babies . I do have an avian vet, they will be seeing her But seriously no need to thank me! I don't think I'm doing anything special. And actually then I would need to Thank everyone that participates on this board, and those responsible for creating this forum, I've been a long time lurker, through here I learned about birds in need of homes, and was shocked to learn about how many are in need, that I told my husband that I would never purchase a baby, I would only take in rehomes. So Thank you all! Dave, Thank you for replying, aloe juice is a girls best friend, I have been using the stuff since you posted about it, gosh I'm not sure how long ago, but I very been using it ever since, heck I use it for me too! it works great if you have really bad dry hands, I'm talking where they cracked from washing so much kind See that's the weird thing Loki's wing looks like it was done some time ago, since I've had them, I have not see Loki mess with the damaged wing not once. Edit to add, Nor have I found a single feather in the bottom of cage either. Brat Birds, Thank you, lol like your name, yes they can be brats ; )

KimKim, Thank you for taking the time to read my post curiosity of Talon their names are Zeus and Loki Murchison Thank you! Yeah I was a hot mess! Loki does have new feathers coming back in, around the head area, in the last picture that I posted here, that's the damaged wing, but I haven't seen Loki mess with it at all. I think it's the 3rd picture you can see that the other wing is fine. I do have other pictures in the album, not sure if you are able to see them, but I use same username here for photo bucket. (Album is public) Oh no these aren't our first fids, but Loki is the 1st one to come to us looking a little rough, we are now at 6 =O all of our babies are re homes, our youngest 2 are 5 years old, the rest are 28 years and older, I'll add their pictures later.

Now if I did this correctly 1st pic should be Zeus and the rest of Loki http://s1382.photobucket.com/share/links?u=http%3A%2F%2Fs1382.photobucket.com%2Fuser%2Fslayv4petz%2Fmedia%2FMobile%2520Uploads%2FScreenshot_2014-10-22-06-31-07_zps91a77ce3.jpeg.html%3Fsort%3D3%26o%3D0 http://s1382.photobucket.com/user/slayv4petz/media/Mobile%20Uploads/20141105_102603_zps023bb9d4.jpg.html?o=1 http://s1382.photobucket.com/user/slayv4petz/media/Mobile%20Uploads/20141107_092540_zps29fb2829.jpg.html?o=17 http://s1382.photobucket.com/user/slayv4petz/media/Mobile%20Uploads/20141107_092334_zpsb9b563a8.jpg.html?o=8 http://s1382.photobucket.com/user/slayv4petz/media/Mobile%20Uploads/20141107_092321_zps5794dce0.jpg.html?o=6

OK I'm technically challenged when it comes to posting pictures, if you want to see pictures I'm using same username as here for photo bucket

Thank you as soon as I figure out how to post pictures I will

Oops forgot to add, I'm to tired to edit, I never presumed anything about these guys, I was trying to keep my pm to Talon short and sweet, I have a tendency to be quite wordy and was only relaying to her what was told to me when I was asked to take these 2 in.

Talon Thank you so much for reading my pm, posting and fixing my posting problem Birdhouse, Thank you for replying, please bare with me, it's well past my bed time. I do plan on seeing the vet. By the time I sent Talon a pm, I had already been obsessively reading about baldness and beak and feather disease, no matter how I searched the same thing kept coming up, while I'm not usually the gloom and doom type, based on what I read. I was beginning to beat myself up, see these 2 are not my only fids, and it's the weekend. I've been a long time lurker here, so Talon was my best option for maybe easing my mind a little, and after sharing my concerns with my husband, I decided to take a break from reading, and focus on my babies and making sure that I do my best to make sure that they are as healthy and stress free as I can possibly get them, no matter what they are stuck with me!
