I had been thinking about how frightened the little bird must have been. We have spiders (black widow and brown recluse) and rattlesnakes and scorpions also, and cockroaches and termites and all kinds of creepy crawlies, even fire ants. They are all just part of life. How clever of Gilgirl! Isn't she amazing?

You should have seen the 'roaches we had on the Amazon!

What a morning!

I wonder if she is wanting to nest.

Dee, I am forever grateful you took Gilbert and are now giving Gilgirl a forever loving home. You continue to make my days with your reports.

I understand the need to think long and hard about taking on the responsibility of this challenging little girl. I remember you lost not one, but two very precious babies not long before.

Yes, you just might need someone to ride "shot gun!" What a privilege to read the escapades of Gilgirl and all the parrots!

Precious took off acorn nuts faster than I could replace them. It didn't matter what I did. I was terrified she had swallowed some when they disappeared. She opens doors on her cage as if they were never fastened. We have had to improvise locks for them, especially the food doors. Otherwise food and water are in the bottom of the cage or on the floor or both. I would love to join you in a sewing party!

Are you sure this is a bird, not a very intelligent child or Houdini masquerading as a grey???

You put a smile on my face and a song in my heart.

This is so exciting. How I enjoy your posts!

What to say! She is absolutely unbelievable to me. I think her conversations are phenomenal, as well as her behavior. I could not possibly keep up with her. She is so fortunate to have you.

I am so in love with this little girl! And you have done all the work. Your sharing is priceless.

Congratulations on the farm! I'm still category 1. Except I really don't even have one except when I go to see her.

Dee, what a thrill for me to experience this transformation vicariously. I'm off to see Precious Saturday.

And a big thank you from me, also

How long will it take for her to figure out how to go over, under, around the gates???

Keri, with your positive attitude and the patience of Job you and Morgan will have a long happy life together.

Dos the bite look clean or infected? You may want to have it checked out.

Probably the latter.

Welcome. Read everything you can on rehoming. It takes a lot of patience, patience, patience, willingness to move at parrot speed. Read how Katana helped Gilbert (now Miss Gilbert). The thread is under Rehoming. And please do ask questions. There are a lot of experts here. Read everything you can find.

How is the healing?

I am convinced she responded to your intervention.

She is one fortunate bird to have you! She surely is acting like a teen ager. How long are the teen years for a timneh? I hope not as long as for humans!

Oh, no, you don't talk too much! The story of this darling timneh is so exciting, so rewarding for me to read I think others would enjoy it also. And yes, it is full of what others could do for another bird that needs a loving forever home.
