Jenna loves Harrisons; she will dig them out of her dish if I mix them with Roudybush or Zupreem. I put the Harrisons pellets in all her foraging toys and she goes to town ~grins~

I am so glad Cracker is doing better! How awful for both of you :-(

Adaya has quite the personality, doesn't she? :lol:

Thanks for that info, David! I gave you Karma for that ~grins~ I am considering an adventure pack and am glad to have the additional info

Hehehe I love it that he told you to pay attention!

that is so cool!!! Jenna only recently decided that head scratches were ok ~grins~ I probably like it more than she does!

Pepper is such a beauty! Glad she did well :-)

How funny! Maybe Tyco and Gizmo just wanted a little intelligent conversation. It must get irritating trying to communicate with us slow humans from time to time ~grin~

Hi Vince! Congratulations on your beautiful Henry. I know he will settle in and you will be the best of friends! Where in Westchester are you? I live in Texas now but I grew up in Hawthorne :-)

Wow, Ajax is a lucky guy, isn't he? I am SO glad you are the ones who got him! Welcome

Welcome! I like the names of your birds ~grins~

Erika, thank you for posting this and especially the pictures of how you got the harness on Baxter! I have an aviator harness for Jenna but we have not had a lot of luck with it so far. You've inspired me to keep trying, I really want to be able to take her out and about with me!

Black capped chickadee. What is enrichment for birds?

Welcome, Nancy and Captain Jack Sparrow! Good name, we know all our birds are really little pirates, right? Hehehehe

Oh my gosh, tomorrow is the day!!! How cool that your breeder set up a webcam so you could see your baby, that must have helped a lot with the waiting! Can't wait to hear how it goes

What a sweet, beautiful baby Tuki is!!! The wait seems SO long, doesn't it? ~grin~

Wow, Dan, that was a really helpful description of the developmental changes our birds go through! Thanks so much!

Steve is SO right on that one! ~grins~

Welcome back Tom!

Hey, Jake, welcome to you and Gus! Glad you are here

Yay for Pepper-Girl!!!

Ooooh, I'm jealous of those of you who can get your bird to wear a harness! Jenna is not there yet ~grins~

That is great that Spencer is getting more relaxed around you. Do you think it could be your wheelchair that makes Spencer uncomfortable? My mom has a powered wheelchair, and although Jenna likes my mom and will chatter back and forth with her, she does not like to go near her, the wheelchair definitely bothers Jenna. Just a thought. I figure that she'll eventually get more comfortable with it; she does not hide in the other side of her cage when my mom comes near her any more, she stays out front and chats with her, so that is progress ~smile~

John, about the acrylic carrier - I was lucky on that. My previous bird was an eclectus (he died suddenly a year ago at Christmas). I used to take him to work, and at one time Bird Talk magazine had an issue on people who took their birds to work. I submitted an article on my bird, and they ended up paying me for the article and his photo, and the money bought him his acrylic carrier, which was carefully scrubbed and de-germed for Jenna. I think they run about a hundred or so, but I'm not sure, that was a long time ago. It is great for a car carrier but it is small and has no provisions for climbing or playing in it. I have a small toy hung inside in case she needs something to do in the car. The Ecky used to go to the Texas Storytelling Festival with me, and that is happening this weekend. I'm considering taking Jenna, but she is MUCH more shy than he was, it might make her too nervous! Maybe once I get her adventure pack

Wow, that sounds like an awesome breeder, who is it? Can't wait to hear updates on your new baby!
