  1. So what options does it give you? I have Windows on my computer and that is where my photos are stored. When I click on the tree icon I get a choice. "From Computer" or "From URL". Perhaps if you PM Talon she can help you.
  2. Oh how great!!! Alfie certainly knows her mind! Love the bit about the ducky and the piggy!!! I wish I had been along!!!!
  3. Wow your kitchen sounds like it is going to be a beauty!!!! You are very lucky!
  4. The kitchen really isn't where you should keep your grey. Not around the hot stove. I have a boing in the kitchen area by my kitchen table where Ana Grey can sit and see but not be too close. My grey is into everything so I don't let her into the cooking area. But then I have a small kitchen.
  5. Winning post at the Aintree Racecourse in Aintree, Merseyside, England It's very wet and straddles the border between Canada and the United States. Bring your barrel for a thrilling ride if you dare!!!
  6. Yes Do you ever wish you could be of the opposite sex for the day.
  7. Click on the little image of the tree it says "insert image" if you put your cursor on it. And then you can either click on "my computer" or "from URL" if I do that it just goes to my stored pictures on my computer and I select the ones I want. I find photobucket a blessing and prefer to use that free site as you can resize there.
  8. Looks great!!! Congrats on the successful harnessing!
  9. My greys go to bed at 7:00 pm. Sully insists because he is an old and cantankerous sort. Ana Grey goes because Sully does and has just gotten use to that time. They do need 10-12 hours of sleep a night. It also gives me my quiet time. I see that they have fresh water, pellets and snacking foods at that time.
  10. Bernie my man, so very glad to see you!!! So get to posting and amazing us all with your wit and charm!!! As always, Babe #4!!!

  11. It's very holy and quiet here. I look up and see pictures of all the scenes in the Bible and am in awe. Michael was a very busy boy!!!
  12. My fids, grey and ekkie have their main cages in a bird room. Your grey should be in a spot that is where the "action is". Greys like to be part of the flock and you and your family are now their flock. Both of my birds are out of their cages most of the day as I am retired. My ekkie is a rescue and so prefers cages. He has a smaller cage in the living room and one in my office. He will get out of his cage in the morning and go to whichever smaller cage he wants during the day. He has been clipped for over 7 1/2 years before I got him and he is still growing new flight feathers. I have had him for a year. My grey, Ana Grey, was clipped when I got her at four months old and had has been flying for the last few months, all over the house. She will be two in August. The main cages are where my fids sleep at night and go when I am not home although they have access to them whenever they want. For Ana Grey there are boings, perches and a cargo net throughout the home for her to sit on. These are also there for my ekkie, Sully, but he does not like them. Sitting on the top of my computer screen is one of Ana Grey's favorite places to be.
  13. Hi Clare, what a great thing you want to do for the children and especially for animals so that children will learn to be responsible with them. As Judy has said there are oodles of threads here at the forum so you can learn all about greys. I spent 2 months here before I got my Ana Grey and the information I learned has been invaluable. Welcome to the Grey family!
  14. Ahhh, Dr. Flock!!!! Once again a winner post!
  15. Charlie and Keeko the two buddies!!!! Hopefully Jasper can now have his own buddy in Tully. Please tell us a little more about these guys. I have certainly missed having them and you around Caroline!
  16. Tully is looking awesome! He looks very happy and comfortable. He is so very lucky to have found such a wonderful forever home. How is he getting on with the other guys????
  17. Hi Dee, not to worry it is all right to have a life!!!!!! It's great to hear that Kopi is doing so well. And congrats on your daughter getting home for awhile. I look forward to seeing your quilt. It's very nice to hear from you.
  18. Thank you for rescuing Mezmo and giving him a wonderful forever home. I look forward to seeing some pictures of him and hearing more about his settling into your home.
  19. Very cute Julie!!! I had to look up what a Janner is!!!!!
  20. Cocoa now knows your office from top to bottom. Great pictures.
  21. I would take the birds out. Where did I read somewhere about new ovens and the chemicals they have that need to be burned off????? To be on the safe side I would not have the birds in the house and air it out completely before bringing them in. I have used my self-cleaning in my oven once. I took my birds out into the backyard in their travel cages. Iturned on all the exhaust fans in the house while the cleaner was working. It took three hours!!!!! I opened all the windows to let it really air out before I brought Ana Grey back in. Congrats on the new oven!
  22. Thanks for the reminder Lyn, I must dig out that harness and give it a try on these nice spring days! Congrats of Alfie's great reasoning abilities!
  23. I will not just guess. Please post a picture of your grey, so we can see what you are talking about. I have a Timneh Grey so her beak is bone-colored.
  24. I have had my TAG, Ana Grey, since she was 4 months old. She is usually out from the am to 7pm if I am home. She has boings and perches all over the house and she has total freedom throughout because I live alone. She can go anywhere except the two bathrooms unless I take her in one of them. I just leave the lights off in them and she has not gone in on her own. She does not like going back into her cage when I want all the time either. If she is in the birdroom and it is bed time, I just turn off the light and say "nite, nite" and she goes back in her cage on her own. If it is during the day and I just need to get going or just want her in her cage, I just scoop her up and put her on her cage. I tell her why and that I'll be back. She still loves me and comes to me when I call. She still knows I love her and she loves me. She trusts me because I am still gentle and unhurting when I scoop her up. I talk to her calmly and tell her what I am doing and that I will be back. at other times if Ana Grey tries to sit on my shoulder I just shoo her off with a gentle hand. She has lots of places to perch near me just not on me and I direct her there with an offer of a treat even if it is just a piece of bread. But when she ask for an apple, "want some apple" I immediately give her some (or some other fruit if she has had apple already) and name it. If I call her, "Ana Grey come here" and hold out my arm and slap it or touch my chest she comes and I always give her a head scratch. Oh I scold her but with my voice not my hands. Our greys are extremely intelligent and lot of the things we say they understand even if they don't mimic the words. They read our body language just like we can read theirs if we want.
