Teluhlasmom

I have a 14 week old, I brought her home when she was about 12 weeks, she has been great, just like a little baby

Joe when you talk about having authority how do you go about doing that with out affecting your relationship with your bird negatively, I want her to trust me always

Teluhla is about 13 weeks old now, she is still eating her baby food twice a day, but she really isn't that interested in it in the morning any more. She eats anything else I put in front of her, she will play with anything and go to anyone. The only problem is she really doesn't "play" with me. She likes to be out of her cage but she really doesn't want a whole lot to do with me, she doesn't laugh or anything so I really don't know what to do with her. I have never had a parrot befor and I am so used to dogs that you can interact with, am I doing something wrong?

I was wondering if your greys ever have off days? I went and got Teluhla out of her cage this morning and something was just off with her. She was a little cranky and skittish, she was just not really into me at all, usually she is all over me and wants to snuggle and give kisses. She just seemed nervouse, any ideas?

My baby is missing one toe and another one is just a little stub, she does just fine, the breeder said that lots of times it happens from the parents dont worry!!!

I desperatly want to potty train my Teluhla. She is about 13 weeks or so now and she just poops everywhere!!! Any advice on how you guys did it would be great. We have been saying, oh you pooped! everytime she goes so that hopefully she will recognize the word with the action, and we are trying to watch for the poop dance, unfortunalty the dance and the poop seem to be simultaneous. HELP!!!:lol:

That is the exact same cage that Teluhla has as her sleeping cage. Her regular cage is about 3x that size. she is about 13 weeks, and she still is taking two feedings a day although I think she is about ready to give up on the morning one. She drops her wings often too. The Lady that I bought her from said that it is ok and lots of time she does it ans then makes little grunt noises which she says are just a babies way of begging, usually for snuggles!!!

I have aquestion about teflon and non stick coating. I have heard about the danger and I want my baby girl to be safe. My husband and I use a foreman grill a lot, and several of our pots and pans are non stick, I do plan on replacing all of them, unfortunalty that isn't in the budget, today! Anyway, Teluhlas cage isn't in the kitchen and whenever I am cooking I keep her in her cage in the other room, is this far enough away from danger, or can she still get hurt?

I feed Teluhla frozen peas and corn and she likes them a lot. I have read that they are almost as healthy as fresh if they are frozen during peak season. I buy mine at the whole foods store so that they are preservative free. I also read about palm oil, I think that it was on a site called http://www.avianweb.com/featherplucking.html I haven't read to much about it so I can't really help but hopefully this article will

I do the same thing!I have started buying all organic fruit and veggies and all sorts of other natural foods, like rice cakes, instead of candy bars like before!!! Amazing how much we will change our lives for our little friends

are mutations more common in cags or tags?

I have noticed teluhla will do something after she has eaten. She will climb up into her food bowl, and sit in it, almost like she just wants to sit instead of stand. she sits down on my husband and I too whenever we hold her. Sometimes she will fall asleep and completly tip forward onto her face, it is really cute, she will wake up and shake her little head like " what am I doing like this!"

Teluhla is doing the same thing, when I bring her into the kitchen to eat she alsmost throws herself into the bowl I am mixing her formula in, then after a bite or two, she starts wondering around the counter to find something more tasty to munch on. I have just started mixing up a tiny bit of formula and having some other food available to eat as well, I am hoping this will help her to see that she has options with her food and that she can start eating big girl food whenever she wants!

My baby is only 10 weeks old and she is home with me now. I hand feed her with a spoon three times a day. I always use a thermometer to test the temp. She also gets lots and lots of other food, dried fruits and veggies, pellets, seeds, fresh stuff, and other things like rice cakes. She picks at everything but her crop is still empty at feeding time everyday. I am going to continue to feed her untill her crop stops emtying between feedings, that way I know that she is starting to eat her big girl food! Good luck I am sure you will do great

I am sitting on my couch and teluhla is sitting on my husbands lap. The thing is she looks like she is asleep, but she is laying down, not standing up. Tonight when we were playing, she kept lifting one of her wings up and blocking my hand with it. I just haven't seen her do these things before. Is this stuff normal I'd should I worry. I may just be paranoid but she is only 10 weeks so I worry about my baby
