congrats!!

LOL! I have a bird fair on saturday! Oh boy budgies are my weakeness too!! I do know Im getting 2 lovebirds and 2 button quail babies there but thats been planned for a while now, lol! I am also hoping to find a female Green cheek conure there!

This is a very good topic... As you all know I own MANY birds!! So I guess you could say I have MBS, however I do not take in every bird offered to me and give each one careful thought before I add it. I have turned down parrots that would be great for Shane and I because I thought they could negatively impact my flock..I always put my flock first. I firmly believe that each of my birds gets the attention they need, and yes I do believe I can handle a few more yet. But I am home all day also, this is a big factor. I can afford the vet care they need...I have a bird emergency fund. It had been cleaned out many times and replenished very quickly. Shooot last month I spent well over $2000 on vet bills and never gave it a second thought. Could I of used that money for things shane and I needed? Yes, but I took on this responsibility and its one I am serious about. My pets come first, no doubt about it. Shane and I would eat Mac N cheese if we were broke just so we could feed the birds what they deserve. In fact $ was tight this winter and we ate cheap food, while the birds got everything they always have, the best pellets, fresh food, etc. I guess the point im trying to make is just know YOUR limits, everybody are different. Now I have a ton of birds, so do I get much alone time ever> NOPE. But I enjoy giving up my time for them all. I have a lot of "problem" birds, they take even more time and patience. But we always get through it! Anyways how many birds you can handle is up to you and you only, as long as you can care for and provide all the birds with what the need and lead a normal healthy life yourself.

This is Aries My red lored amazon after soaking up 4 spray bottles of water! LOL

Thanks Judy! Kanye is just a little bit harder to read at times and a little more intense than Fawkes is, hes not usually a biter but when her does bite its for blood! LOL

Ok Just thought id share fawkes' new trick with you all! What a sweet girl!!! LOL OK I trained kanye to do it too! SO ill just stick his pics here too!

LOL! Fawkes Says "NO, Naughty girl, bad bird, bad bad bad girl, stop, BE NICE, dont you do that, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" LOL all from her old owners! We do tell her Be nice and No, or Naughty but She usually tells herself first:pinch:

Thats a great pic!

wow!! those are very good pics! Fawkes Flushes like that after she eats or when she is singing

You take awesome pictures! I always love seeing them!

Thats cool! MAN! Amazons beaks grow so fast! My red-lored Aries beak grows REALLY fast!

That is way too:) cute!!!

I thought it was a good article too!!! Im in that issue for the third time:ohmy: Page ten...my name is brilliantfids...lol

LOL Ronda...I did that with one of my cockatiels...little girl dang near fell over in shock and from then on HATED to go outside! That paper towel method is a great idea!!! WATCH OUT FAWKES IM COMING FOR YOU!!!! LOL

LOL! Ronda that was not bad advice! Everybody trains them differently. Fawkes I give the option to step up where Aries and Pocco I dont give them the option. I personally understand your method because I have cats and if one of my birds lands ont he floor it is crutial that they know they need to step up right away! But just depends on the owner and the home environment I think. Both ways are good

Great recipes!!! I will have to give them a go!! LOL! Im laughing about the gorrdon Ramsey thing...hes in the US too. The show is called Hells kitchen and its way too funny!! Love how cruel he is...hes like Simon Cowell but far worse!!! LOL

Welcome back! Im glad everything went well for you! Your Bella sounds a lot like fawkes! Always up to something and mouthing off! LOL

I think the best thin right now would to not have Max by your wife. I think the others are right he is reacting to the stress and the loss. In time he may get over it. However he could be looking at you as his partner and he knows your in pain so hes protecting you. Just a tought. Im very sorry for your loss and you are in my prayers.

Hes a 5 year old ex-breeder, hes now really a sweetie and cute as can be! Post edited by: MommaFawkes, at: 2008/04/22 20:10<br><br>Post edited by: MommaFawkes, at: 2008/04/22 20:18
