I thank everyone for all the concerns, thoughts and suggestions in my posts.. On this forum I have read and learned alot about the Grey and birds in general. It is the best informative source for me. I still have alot to learn, I'm sure. I want to do the right thing to keep her well. Mira is doing very well. She sure ia a funny bird. Since I've had her, a couple weeks now, she sure has been eating alot more. She picks out those little chile's from her food first. When we have dinner, she sits by us at the table and eats her 'dinner' too. She is one of the family. Sandy Orlando Fl

My husband went to look in it when he saw the dogs barking at it. He was looking around the back patio very frantic until he heard the barking. Then he knew. There she was looking up at him when he opening the trap top.

She is 5 mo. I believe she flew down onto the patio floor and walked thru the doggie fence that is around the doggie door going outback, and then somehow ended up in the trap. My husband opened the top of it and Mira was looking at him all wet. She is too smart.

The doggie door has now been taken care of asap.It had a fence around it already but now it's more confined. It's top priority for Mira.

Thanks. I have learned she is not an ordinary bird. Don't want to go thru worrying about her again. Just got her a couple weeks ago. So she will be watched very carefully, even if just for 20 min.

I didn't know that birds can sink. Yes, I have learned to baby proof the home very quick. Mira is doing great. Actually, sitting on my shoulder and watching TV (I think). Sandy.

My Mira is a 5 month old Timneh. She was let out of her cage when we got home and 20 min later found her in the pool. She somehow found her way into the pool trap where my husband found her. Actually, my 2 Schnauzers found her, barking, waiting for 'dinner' I think. She must have gotten out thru the doggie door. She must have watched how my 2 Schnauzers go thru it and thought she can too. I cannot believe she ended up in the pool. We have a gate around the doggie door too with a cover on top of it so they can not get into where the birds are kept. Mira was all wet. I took Mira into the shower and gave her a shower with warm water, hair dryed her a bit and talked to her. Eventually, I put her to bed in her bird hut I made. She loves it. Put her cage in the bedroom and covered her over for the night. She seems fine now and think I did the right thing with the clorinated water but any suggestions if there is something that I should have done, do now? Sandy in Orlando, FL
