Awesome Photo's Geoff!! What a great time you are having together :woohoo:<br><br>Post edited by: danmcq, at: 2007/07/08 23:06

You must be elated Geoff! I can't wait to see some photo's now in his permanent home. :laugh:

This is so sad, poor fellow went from bad to bad! I wonder if the person in the Video shop is just a minimum wage employee and can't speak for the TAG? If you do go back to get photo;s, maybe you could ask if the owner is there and if not, perhaps ask for their Phone Number to call and inquire? Obviously, no one there knows anything about maintaining any Parrot!!<br><br>Post edited by: danmcq, at: 2007/07/08 21:26

Talon - LOL....You need to let Me and Judy know or we'll gang up on you {Characters-00020059}

Judy - You have to stop posting the same thing I'm posting at the same time....LOL....Great Minds, You know.... {Characters-0002007C}

I'm ok, everyone else ok? I don't think you left anything out Talon in your post? The Frenching was just a "funny comment" made along the string. {Feel-good-00020069}

Hi Beccy, Thanks for the feedback on Clicker Training! :laugh: I have a Clicker and now maybe I'll start using it too experimentally on my Conure until my Dayo gets to come home :woohoo:

Thanks Imran, I will :-) I just can't get enough of watching these wonderful Greys's in action {Communicate-00020110}

I believe Greylover was making a Joke, No? {Emotions-0002011C}

Wow, what a beautiful Cage!!! Very nice {Feel-good-000200BB}

French kissing your Bird One of the first training packages I bought was done by people with a very bad accent and it wasn't 10 minutes in to it after she had stopped it from attacking her hand every time she got near, then the person was showing how to get your Parrot to like you and feel more comfortable in close proximity. She was putting items such as sunflower seeds in her mouth completely then pushing them back out to her lips and bending forward so the poor ring neck could take it out :dry: At about that point, we turned the DVD off and have not returned to it again....just count it as a learning experience loss of investment.........<br><br>Post edited by: danmcq, at: 2007/07/08 18:23

The bar spacing being one inch is fine. My Cage is one inch bar spacing. Sounds like a cool cage. Maybe you could post a photo of it? :-)

In my opinion, yes, your Grey would know that you spend time with him a varying amounts each day. That's the same routine that happens for ALL us working folks, were gone 5 days a week for most the day and then on weekends and holidays it party-time!! I am sure others with much more experience than I have will pipe in here :-) Here are the results of a search I did in MN. I do not know how close any of these may be to You http://www.avianbiotech.com/Breeders/Search_Breeders.asp 12 Listings found!

So far, in the little amount of searching I did on this topic, the only additional disease I found that can be transmitted from Human to Bird or vice versa is Tuberculosis.... I certain there are more, and of course Bacterial infections. from the Human mouth, if you happen to share food you've had in your mouth with the bird.

Ha Ha Ha Ha ...... Great Photo and commentary ! {Communicate-0002011B}

Hi Celery, That Amazon not only Picked you, but helped you in paying for himself to ensure you did not get away with out him :-) Yes, please post Photo's!!! Also, you can still stay here and post progress and new photos on this Forum in the all others Birds topic. We don't want to lose someone we have made friends with already :-(

Wow, your Baby is around 6 or 7 Months old now? It sounds like you are having great fun with your Grey! :-) Do you have any photo's or her/him you could post?

Imran, Thanks for those links and helping other Users on this Forum, + Karma for You :-)

Hi Imran, Thanks for sending those links! :-) Does anyone here know much about Clicker training? It seems to me to be a rarely used method, but effective for some people... One of the links you sent from the English Chap, also has a "Dance" video from the same Youtube user that I really like :-) I like the way his Grey say's "Dance" with a British accent! His Grey is a real character!!!

Oh My God Beccy, that's a picture that seems like a Grey in total Chaos!!:woohoo: I would probably think Dayo was having a Baby Tantrum!

Oh my God Tari, That is so heart wrenching :-( Just hang in there and do the great job you have been of keeping her feeling comfortable and loved. Going back to the Vet sounds like the best thing to do to get all the possible assistance and chances that little baby has . Please keep us posted and yourself in a frame of mind that you are doing everything in your power to save this precious babies life.

Glad you find us amusing Talon! :-) Back at the both of you... {Characters-0002005D}

Hi Josh! Good to have you on this Forum. If you don't my my asking, what city in Minnesota? It's not so much how many days you work, but how many hours each day would you be able to spend with your Grey? It seems the most important thing to do in spending time with them, is that it is consistent. The cage time is ok, as long as you have a large cage with plenty of toys to keep them entertained.

Hi Verena, It sounds like Levi will be fine under your watchful protection. The way you handle and take Levi with you, He must be a very loving and fun Grey to have! :-) Perhaps as time permits, you could post a picture up of him. We would love that here and also to hear some more about you and Levi.
