  1. Happy hatch day Dayo I am sure you get spoilt every day but I hope today is special.
  2. Howardine. I am so pleased you are part of the forum. you always show great respect and I admire that.Precious is a very lucky grey .

  3. This is the funniest thing I have ever read lol
  4. I hope you get to the bottom of this. It took me quite a few vet visits with Charlie until I got the answer to Charlie's plucking problem.It turned out to be a feather follicle infection which is now well under control and being treated with anti biotics and pain killers. Keep at it untill you know for sure.
  5. Oh Alfie is a smart one.They can out smart us easily when they want to lol.
  6. He has had a feather follicle infection and was plucking his wings and tops of legs and a bit on his legs. It was not severe plucking and apart from a few patches on the inside of his wings and the lack of down feathers he is almost back to normal. [Hear is a photo of the inside of his wing a few months ago,its not too clear but you can get the idea
  7. I took this photo today to compaire charlie to how he was before he started his anti biotics and pain killers. I think he is looking tunns better. He is still plucking now and then but not like he was. His next vet visit is on the 5 of May and I am sure things are going well. I anticipate him being on the meds for a while yet so we can be sure all the infection has gone, He looks a litte thiner to me but the scales are only showing a 10-15 gm weight loss so that is nothing too bad. The only thing still concerning me is that he has very few down feathers,the vet commented on that at his last visit and that does not seem to have improved yet but I am hoping time will sort that out.
  8. Hear is a video of Cracker doing the Z cars theme tune while in his favourite spot, under his papers lol.

  10. Great video Janet. Ana grey looks wonderful and I love her sytand and cargo net. I have a cargo net for Charlie but he is petrified of it even after almost 12 months so I have now given up of his using it.

  19. I totally agree that our birds could not survive in the wild,Having contact with Blue who is a wild caught parrot I can see a marked contrast between him and Charlie who was I was told hand reared. Blue is far less fazed by what happens around him and seems to just get on with life. Charlie seems to be much less settled and easily upset. I think this has a lot to do with hand rearing, they never learn to be a propper parrot. It could be age aswell as Blue is a very old man now but I believe being parent reared is best for any bird. I agree with Julie that it is so sad that our birds dont have the freedom and space and experiances wild birds have and especially the larger birds such as macaws can have a very small life in captivity.
  20. Sunnybird. if you wish to have his band removed and still have proof he was not wild caught thats an easy one. When your vet removes the ring and places the micro chip get some documentation that the microchip was inserted in to the bird with that ring .The micro chip has its own unique number with your details so if the vet documents that he inserted the micro chip and removed the ring there should be no problem

    The gang

    You have lovely birds, they look in great condition
  22. Thats great Jess, keep up what you are doing if it is having a good response
  23. I had Charlies band removed after reading a really horrific story on this forum. He is also micro chipped and I would not have it any other way. I know if the un thinkable happens I have that little extra chance of getting him back. Also if someone stole him or re captured him and decided to keep him for them selves I can prove ownership without any doubt.
  24. I do allow Charlie on my shoulder but only when I am sure he is in a frame of mind to behave.As a general rule of thum I would say only let a grey on your shoulder if you can completely trust it.
  25. OOh those baby greys are too tempting,my rule is dont even look at one lol.
