They will go when the have to if your not around to tell them to go poop they will tell themselves to go I know this because Tyco will do this when she has to poop she thinks she has to broadcast it so just before she goes She says go poop and then lets it fly its actually quite nice that she does this because that way if she happens to be on me I can move her before getting pooped on :laugh:

Hi my name is Patricia also I have 2 greys 1 is a rescue that I saved a couple years ago she is 6 yrs old now her name is Tyco. the other is a baby that I brought home about 12 weeks ago when she was just 5 weeks old. I have experiance when it comes to handfeeding so I fed and weaned my baby girl myself she is 17 weeks old and the sweetest most wonderful baby you could ever possibly ask for. When your baby comes home she or he will already know you so there is a very good chance that she will look to you for comfort and reassurance because she will be in a totally new enviroment and you will be the only thing there that is familier to her or him. if thats the case by all means cuddle her/him and talk sweetly mabie sing a lulaby these kinds of thing will help her/him to understand that you will be there to protect her and make her feel safe. She will learn that she can trust and count on you for her well being. take things slow but be there for her always that whats important when she first comes home.

My mom never drank a drop of liquor except when she had the flu then before bed she would have an oz of whisky mixed with boiling water abd in the morning she always felt better so mabie there is somthing to this whiskey cure it worked for mom.

I just picture an african grey with a bucket on his head say who turned out the light hey is any body there it dark in here. I'm{Feel-good-0002006E} laughing hysrericly

I guess I got lucky with Tyco everytime I leave the room my Amazon screams like a banshee until I whistle something she knows or go back into the room. I don't mind a contact call but what she does goes why past that. Tyco has always hated her sceaming as much as me and tells fergie to just be quiet. At least I don't have two of them screaming at me thank goodness. As long as Adaya doesn't Learn it then I think I can stand it my onlybig problem is when Fergie screams it hurts the dogs ears and they start howling and yelping louder than Fergie its enough to make you want to leave home.:laugh: :blink:

I have the same problem I have natural wood trim around all my windows and ceiling they only go for the window trimming so I figues since they aready started I'might as well let them go for it Its easy enough to replace.Its only one side and about 1 foot that they chewed Fergie did the window by her cage and Tyco did about the same to just one of the windows by her cage then both of them stopped and haven't done it since I guess its no fun if they are allowed so to replace 2 pieces of trim Is easy<br><br>Post edited by: Tycos_mom, at: 2009/06/09 00:32

Its made of non metalic 1in conduit hose it was easy the whole thing is plastic sort of live pvc only flexable works great I just use reg pvc fitings to join the ends and the sisle rope to jointhe circles into an Aton shape very easy

I know of 2 places that Sells them One is www.flyingsouth.com the other is www.parrotandconureworld.com

I would say yor doing fine baby birds need lots of cuddle and holding I would take her out as much as possible and just love on her I just raised a baby from 5 weeks old she's 17 weeks old now and I just loved on her every chance I got when she was little and now I can do anything with her she come on recall she will lay in the palm of my hand belly up she loves to wressle and play with me she is just so much fun but it dooes take allot of time I took Adaya everywhere with me when she was little except to work just make sure she getting a ton of cuddles and you should be fine.

I wouldn't worry about 10 gr if it where 40 or 50 grams thats when to start to worry 10% weight loss is concidered a reasonable amount to require a Vet visit anything less should be watched to make sure He doesn't keep losing weight Its summer time now and I have noticed my birds have lost a little also I think because its hot their appetites are not what they were in the winter time I also noticed that they aren't playing as much in the middle of the day when it really warm they play more in the mornings and then again around 5pm

I never thought about useing crochet yarn that would be perfet because it does't add size to the perches I built a atom type play gym for my birds and it already 1 inch so I don't want to add size to it You just gave me the perfect solution Thank you

I would say she is pretty quiet most of the time she does practice trying to talk and when she really gets into playing with her toys or wrestling with me she can get loud but for the most part she is a quiet sweet little girl.

Thats just wonderful news I'm so glad that you bonded with her.

Its okay to vent thats what where here for. I'm sorry to hear about your surgery I hope everything is ok that way. I will pray that you get through this it sounds like you have your work cut out for you. good luck

I love your new video's of Echo they are great your going to have a wonderful bunch of memorys as the years go by. You are so lucky to have your bird at such a young age you will have him for years and years it will be nice to grow old with a wonderful companion theres a very good chance that you will out live him so you will never have to worry about what happen after your gone you are so lucky.

Iwish I had laminate every where I have it in 2 of my bedrooms and the rest is carpeted In and apt I can't see it getting too cold in winter and the flooring these days is so easy to install If I where you I would definatly go for the flooring.

This is for you a brand new video since you haven't seen any recent pics of Adaya Post edited by: Tycos_mom, at: 2009/06/08 18:03<br><br>Post edited by: Tycos_mom, at: 2009/06/08 18:42

I just want to say thankyou to each and everyone of you that are constantly asking for pictures. I was looking through all my pictures of Adaya this morning and I was thinking if it wasn't for this forum there would be no way that I would have all these wonderful pictures to look at of her growing up I just not a person who takes a lot of pictures but I have more pictures of Adaya than I have of my grandkids. So thanks everyone I'm just thrilled to death I have some wonderful pictures of my baby growing up.

Welcome to our little family we love our Greys here and would love to get to know all about Bella and you I have 2 congo's and can't even remember what life was like before I got them They are everything to me as with most members on this forum. please keep us updated and if you have any questions don't hesitate to ask we have lots of very experienced bird owners here that will be more than happy to answer any questions that you may have.

I would say your going to have some mabie How old are your birds if they are young there is a good chance that they won't get it right this time and the eggs won't be fertile. if they are a couple years old then there is a chance you may get a couple baby's keep us updated if you didn't want baby's why would you put a male and female in the same cage thats just asking for trouble.

I'd really love to see some piicture If that were my baby I be want pictures from the day it was pulled from the nest box you need to be more force full tell that breeder that you want some pics its important.:laugh:

That would be just wonderful I'd love to see some pictures of this sweet baby Eli I've been praying my heart out for and sending healing thoughts too.

Great playstand Your bird will have a ton of fun playing on that.I love the one with the cotton yarn very nice.

Tyco lives for pellets eats all them out of her seed mix and all her Zupreem fruit flavored and garden goodness but she won't eat harrison Go figure. Adaya on the other hand won't touch her pellets with a ten foot pole.
