That snow plough is awesome - we could all do with one of those and the rails to go with it!! Love the cat though Caitlin, and the postits! Very clever! Thanks for sharing. x

Lol - not this chihuahua owner - little dogs in dresses make us :angry: ! Jill you're lucky you could get the bus - all our services have been suspended! But imagine having to sit next to another person! How awful for you!!:laugh: :laugh:

Well we have another 1/3 of a foot lying on the seafront here - Alfie did a double take this morning when I put her on her window seat!! I'm off now to see if I can get a long to the horses - and yes, the chihuahua needs stilts!:ohmy:

It's really good to hear that Abby is settling in with you so quickly, but there is plenty of time for more improvement. Alfie is almost two and talks all over the place, but never when I ask her to!!:laugh: A relatively easy thing to teach is to get them to wave for a treat - that way you can ask her to do something for you and let her know that good things happens when she obliges! I'm with Dee on not ignoring her though - Abby sounds so sweet, how could you possibly??!!!!:laugh:

Sorry Julie - don't know how I missed this, but I can def identify with you! When we first got Alfie (actually it was when she turned around 6 months) we gave her two names - Alfie for when she was being good, and Sid for when she was being not!! I have to say, for a while she was Sid more than she was Alfie! Sid has gradually subsided, but Alfie did go through a phase during the summer where she was very aggressive towards me - regularly biting and drawing blood. I followed advice from here to give her a time out every time she did bite hard, and other than that, not react to the bites! Thankfully it knocked it on the head. I have not had a malicious bite from her since, but I cannot put my hands in her cage unless I am offering her to come out. If I open her little feed windows I have to look out for sure cos she'll nail me if she get's the chance. I just see it as her space and respect it. She is a little hormonal at the minute too, but any bittes lately have been high jinx! Hopefully Argyle will get passed this phase too! I know it's horrible being bitten hard by a bird you love!

Well done!! Sometimes it's the littlist things!!

Excellent thank you! Were those names already there?! So is there a big difference in character between these different birdies? Or is an Amazon an Amazon? And is this them all or are there more? Thanks for this thread! I'm liking it!

Poor little scrap! Thank goodness he's found you now. Hopefully with time and patience he will learn life is good!

Beautiful birds. Could you tell me what they all are please? Double Yellow Headed at the top? Then I'm not sure!

Dee this is sad news. I pray that Java isn't in any danger - as Sheila has said, your girl will get any attention she needs. Dave's post on pdd is a good one. http://www.greyforums.net/forums/health-room/134641-proventricular-dilatation-syndromepdd.html#134641 Thank you for continuing your forum presence - I'm sure I speak for many here when I say you are a much loved member of the forum. xx

Well we've only had 4" of it at this end of the Scottish Borders but that's quite enough thankyou - any deeper and I won't be able to walk my dog! It's already up to her neck!!

They're lining up outside the co-op waiting for the delivery lorry to unload! There are kids zipping along the Bantry on motocross bikes, and I saw one bloke digging his mobility scooter out of a snow drift!! It is pretty though! Stay safe everyone. x

I agree with Julie - pester the life out of this bloke (if you're sure he has him) until he gives in. Good luck with it.

Wow that's amazing! Where do you get the materials?

They do need a lot of sleep - Alfie gets very grumpy with less than 10 hours. Alfie has always slept in her big cage with a cover on - she has a birdie bunk (tent) in there and loves it. It's just down to the individual bird.

Ooh sorry! I forgot about posting a better pic of her bed!! She's in it now again - just got an early bedtime for biting my ear!! I'll get it tom! JR - you don't want to take her comfy perch out till you know she'll take to the bunk - in fact no need to take it out at all. Just be sure the bunk doesn't frighten her to start with. Alfie loves her's and sleeps in it even though some of her perches are higher.

Lol! True!

Here too Bernie - our schools were sposed to go back today but they've got the week off! The radio is telling all council workers including teachers to go to there nearest council offices if they can't get into work, and if they can't get to the nearest councl office, they've to work from home!! :laugh: What's the school janitor going to do at home!!:laugh: :laugh:

Congratulations on the transformation! Could you get Yoshi to send some good water thoughts to ALfie please!! Great pics - thanks for posting.

Hmm I haven't tried the oil yet - she gets the palm nuts and sometimes she likes them! Thanks Jill, I shall give it a go!
