[file] OK.... Here are the pics of Tobie

Her Highness' name is Tobie. I wish she were more hand trained but she is not. She also packs a heck of a bite as you all know about. She is closer to my husband. He can pet her all over and she regurgitates food for him. Eeeew! Yes, I know it is a loving thing. LOL! Anyway, here is a picture of Tobie, that shows her cage and one with her talons. I think they are the problem. Then curl around so much that it looks like just the tips touch the perch. Last time we had them cut they cut too much and she fell a lot! I so appreciate your help.... Hmmm... How to attach pics? Has hardly been to vet in her life. She has been very healthy. Last time was when they cut her talons. Four years ago. I will have to find a good one. Last one cut them too short! She fell a lot!<br><br>Post edited by: Jopalis, at: 2008/01/30 23:38

Thank you. She is a sweetheart when she is not trying to bug me by making noise with the bottom of her cage skirt! LOL! I am seriously concerned that she has been falling off her perch lately. She often stays on the bottom of her cage. Out of fear I think. She seems to do it when she is asleep. Should I post this any specific place? I don't get her claws trimmed. Her perch is like a wooden branch like material. Came with cage. Are you supposed to replace perches? She looks good, eats good, etc. Just falls frequently..... Thanks.

Hi.. I have inherited my father's 37 year old African Grey female. We love her very much. She talks in my Dad's voice who has passed on and it is kind of cool to have a living remembrance of him. We have had her about 5 yrs now. She is closer to my husband than me and often does things to aggravate me! LOL! My fault since I showed an annoyed reaction. My big question is she has started falling from her perch frequently. She eats well and looks fine. I wonder if I should get her nails clipped. However, last time I did that she fell a lot! I never get her nails clipped. Should I replace her perch? It is kind of branchy and maybe has gotten too smooth. I think she falls when she is asleep. Once she ended up hanging upside down from her perch and my husband had to put his hand on her back and push her back up. She is semi hand friendly but if so, only with my husband. Thanks, Jo<br><br>Post edited by: Jopalis, at: 2008/01/30 07:03
