Hi everyone, I wanted to let you all know that my beautiful baby girl Millie passed away this afternoon in my arms. She fought hard for the last week and a half,for a while I really thought she would pull through. Im having a very hard time writting this to you guys. I want to thank you all for the support during this. Im totally heart broken and her daddy will be too, I know I did all I could for her and I gave her a better life than what she had before but im really tore up about her passing. At least she is not in pain or struggling anymore I guess thank you all Tiffani MILLIE FLY HIGH MY LITTLE DIVA BIRD!!!

Truth be told I used to completley HATE birds!! I mean I thought parrots were pretty and all that But ANYTHING with a beak would give me nightmares (seriously)!! I worked on a farm with chickens and before I would walk up the driveway I would call out "DENIS GET THE CHICKENS!!!" And make him put them all in the coop until my day was done...he never had a coop until I started working there...lol. I wouldnt even walk into a pet store that had large birds....and even FINCHES in cages kept me pasted on the far side of the store! When I met Shane he told me how growing up he had a quaker and a cockatiel and that he wanted to get a bird someday. I told him point blank if he got a bird I would break up with him Well about 1 and 1/2 maybe even less years ago we were picking out a puppy for my aunt that is epileptic and these people had 4 cockatiels. Well much to my disliking Shane picked one out and magically we had a bird. This is not when I started liking them...in fact that dang cockatiel made me even more terrified of birds! I rode home with her in a cage on my lap...she was hissing and attacking the cage the whole time..honestley I was so freaked out I was CRYING!! I told Shane that I would not feed, water or care for this bird EVER!!! His bird his responsibility! It ended up being me that did all that and everytime I had to feed her or anything I had nightmares....yes EVERYNIGHT I had nightmares about the devil cockatiel. Well anyways how I got hooked on them actually was by me agtain looking at puppies (my dogs sister) and there was again cockatiels...only the people thought they were both girls so when one laid eggs they let them sit them. Well to their surprise they hatched and they were not happy about this, they actually told me they were going to THROW THE BABIES in trash!!! I stood there and thought about it and I didnt know what the heck I was going to do with these little birds but I knew I wasnt going to leave them there!!! So I took them home, called my aunt who was a breeder in the past and had her explain handfeeding to me. So I raised three wonderful cockatiels! Spike Rachel and Faux, I always intended on finding homes for them, and eventually I did but it broke my heart. We were again birdless....Ducky had flown out the window when the landlord didnt realize she was out of her cage and opened the window. Anyways we were at the local pet store tropic waters and I had a little courage that day and stuck my hand in with the budgies...a little green one jumped on and didnt want to come off. We left her there and went on with our errands....when on the way home I told shane I forgot something at tropic waters, BOY WAS HE SURPRISED when I walked out with a bird in a box.....

LOL! I actually do use the search.....but I didnt have cofee today so Im a little out of it!! HAHA!!

Ohhh thank you!! I didnt even think to do a search here, duh! LOL! Well I agree about the DNA'ing being the only fool proof thing to do. I just find it interesting to know what others results have been with this, sort of a little mini study of sorts:laugh: Thank you!

Hey everyone!! Ok I was reading on birdchannel today and somebody said you can sex a grey by tail feathers...here is the statement she made: As to sexing Grays, look at the tail undercoverts, if they have the smallest edge of grey at the tip of the red feathers, it's a female but if the feathers are red all the way to the very tip, it's a male. Now Ive never heard this, so I thought it would be neat to get your views on this. If you have a Dna's grey could you please check their tail feathers and see if they fit this? Thanks guys!!!

You take great pictures!! Very pretty flowers too, Talon you are a lucky lady!

Voted!

Grear photos!!! Talon is adorable!

Well Kenya is certainly adorable! Nice pics!

Oh I really like this idea!! Now I have the task of actually capturing a picture of somebody playing with their toys!! They all run to me when I come in the room and leave their toys...this will be tricky but fun!! Great Idea!!!
