Most certainly have. I was brought up in a similar way. I think Rememberance is a tradition that should never be forgotten about. I had my 2 minutes at the field - very peaceful and tranquil - a million miles away from what we are remembering! So good for you Jill, for teaching your children the same. x

My goodness Bernie - Ben is a stunning looking bird! I don't think I've seen a picture of her other than your avi! I like the second shot! Pretty!! Thanks for sharing.

20 months old?! Getting a bid girl!! Thanks for sharing - I love Emma to bits, I show your videos to Alfie to show her how a lady should behave!! xx

Hehe Janet!! You're right! She's never still!! In fact - I think it's fair to say she's exhausting - but she's David's bird when she's in that mood!! And she's mine when she's cuddley!!{Feel-good-0002006E} Judy, no problem at all, but you realise, I would have to chaperone her if she were to come and hoover for you?!! Thanks for looking! x

Ah Dee! He's stunning!! And Ann and Tom sound like really great folk! This has, I'm sure been worth the wait for you! I can't wait to hear how things unfold for you! I have to say, I was too busy worrying that I was doing something wrong during the baby phase, to fully enjoy it! Don't let that happen to you! I know you've been a wee bit worried as this day drew nearer, but you've prepared so well, and done so much homework, you must just relax now and really enjoy this - he'll grow up so fast! Soooo, we'll see you in a month (or two) when you've stopped drooling over Juno!! xx

Good news Dee! You've been sooooo patient! Now after the nerve wracking bit of the transition/settling in period, comes the fun bit of getting to know your boy! Enjoy!! xx

The joys of living with a bird brain!!{Feel-good-0002006E} And yes - the hoover is ONE of Alfies obsessions!! Lovethatgrey, she sure is. In fact Alfie and the chihuahua compete for the title of Queen Diva!!! It's a close call sometimes but I think Alf has Tia pipped!!! xx P.s. sorry I boobed - got my love/luvs mixed up!!<br><br>Post edited by: pearllyn, at: 2009/11/07 21:24

Still no word???? Geez! C'mon!

Goodness our greys can be fickle can't they?!! I can't offer an explanation Cybil, but I do know that Alfie, my female grey, seems to change her opinion of me about 20 times a day!! Hang on, some of our other members will be along soon to offer you some advice!! Lyn & Alfie x

Here she is, off to do her hair again - must have a big night planned!! and helping with the hoovering!! Hope you and yours are all well! Lyn & Alfie xx<br><br>Post edited by: pearllyn, at: 2009/11/07 15:32

Having a cuppa while Alfie tucks into her weekly treat of scrambled egg - She loves it! Has had her head in her bowl for the past hour!! Bliss! x<br><br>Post edited by: pearllyn, at: 2009/11/07 14:03

Oh Dee - you must feel like all your christmases are coming at once! And how nice that all your friends here are feeling the excitment with you! I have to admit, I half expected you to be online when I got in tonight - You not being able to sleep and all! But I guess you have to be up bright and early! So have a great day - we're all dying to see the first pics of your baby! xx

Man that looks sore!! :pinch: David was fixing our radiators this evening so I told him of your predicament last time to be sure he was extra careful! Feel better soon Bernie! x

2 Excellent reasons for a bevvy Jill! I have some more to add 1. I'm off work all next week!! 2. Dee may be collecting Juno this evening!! 3. It's raining. 4. It's only 4.30pm and it's nearly dark. 5. Alfie is sitting preening quietly. 6. Forecast for Monday is fine. 7. We're having quorn for tea. 8. It'll soon be Christmas! Any more to add anyone? xx

Hi Brad and Scooter, and welcome to the forum. Karma to you Brad for taking on an older bird. As the others have said, a trip to the vet at this stage is well worth it to get a full health check. Trying to get in touch with the previous owners is a great idea, and as Dan said, would most likely be appreciated by them, as well as being of benefit to you and Scooter. I hope his eye isn't too serious, and I'm sure you and he have many happy years ahead! Lyn & Alfie x P.s. We do love photos here, so would love to see some if you get a minute!!

Lol - good video! She's having such fun!! x

Fingers crossed Judy. Alf hasn't chewed any since they grew back!

Poor Bernie. :dry: Here's a bucket load of sympathy for you! xx

Ooh! How exciting!! Congratulations - You must be really proud of your little man! chimaysmommy wrote: Lol, as soon as Alf came out with her first words I set the video up and captured about an hour and a half of whistles and pops before she repeated herself and gave me the 7 seconds worth that eventually went on youtube!! Congrats again - looking forward to the vid once you get it!! x

Poor little scrap. Perhaps you could suggest to the breeder that although you are keen to take this baby, you would like to know the extent of the problem, and if the bird is eating ok, before you decide.
