Congratulations and karma for adopting an older bird. I agree with Jay that you should have a cage for your amazon, I believe it is much safer for our fids if they are caged when we aren't around. Before you get your fids together however I would make sure that the new bird is healthy. Has he seen a vet recently? Can't wait to hear more about your new amazon and see some pictures! By the way, what's his name?

Well happy Bird Day to you Precious and many, many, many more!!!!!

As soon as I saw your post I had to dash on over and have a looksey! I'm so glad that Vree's acupuncture treatments are helping so much. Vree is such a good grey to be so calm and helpful in his treatment. He knows you are doing everything possible to help him and he understands. What trust and love he must find in you and in return is cooperating because he knows you have his best interests at heart. Karma coming your way for your great love for your grey! You are a great parront!

I would ignore it and hope she gets tried of it. That's what I do when Ana Grey does an unacceptable sound and for me it works.

This is marvelous. So sorry for you, but great laugh for us! Karma for sharing your shame!!!!! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Just a thought, perhaps yesterday she was aware of a predator that you didn't see? I love Cocoa's free flying videos. She is so lucky to be able to do so.

Kopi is a fine looking grey. I am so happy for you that his settling in is going so well. Can't wait to hear more and see more pictures!

Ana Grey loves her shower. When I spray her with a bottle she always runs up to the top of her playstand on her cage and spreads her wings and turns. She loves it. She will talk up a storm afterwords so full of herself. As for a bath, I just pop her in the kitchen sink and really soak her down. She has always totally loved the water for which I am grateful!

Congrats on Pepper learning your name Brittany. I know I would be so proud if Ana Grey would say my name. So congratulations!

So glad to hear that Charlie is home and that he is getting so help with us problems. Prayers coming Charlie's way for a full and speedy recovery.

My grey sleeps on her cement perch. It is the highest perch in her cage. When she was younger she would sleep in her tent but gave that up. My ekkie sleep on his long perch in the middle of his cage. No ceremony he just goes to sleep.

I am just going to have to make one of those great Atoms!!!

Checked out the Cosmo site and it looks very interesting although I'm not a facebook fan. I'm debating about the book, let us know how you like it Dan.

Great idea Jay, I hope your little ploy gets some of our lurkers to come on in!!!!!!! Some days there are more lurkers than participants, like right now 17 guests and only 9 participants so sad :unsure: :unsure: :huh:

I'm sorry to hear of the loss of your grey companion. Our greys are so a part of our lives so please accept my condolences. I can't really help you about an eclectus, although I have one, because I did not raise him. I got Sully from a pet shop. He was found about 7-8 years before in a car wash and rescued by the local pet shop. Sully is a plucker, he still is although I have had him since April, 2009. I believe he must be 10 years old or more because he is very set in his ways. He loves to sit and watch me from a cage. He has his big cage in the birdroom and two smaller cages, one in the office and one in the living room, the busy rooms in the house. He prefers to be in a cage, I have perches and boings throughout the house that my grey loves to sit on but Sully will go to a cage although he is loose in the house when I am home. He must be in his big cage with the lights off and the door closed so he can sleep in the dark by around 7:00 pm without fail or he will shriek and shriek until he gets his way. As I said, he is very set in his ways. When he is hormonal, he is very loving and a little scary. Sully is a quiet and sweet ekkie and I'm sure his problems come from his abuse and treatment in the past so he really isn't a very good example for an eclectus. I believe if he had been mine when he was weaned he would have been the loving and sweet bird I see glimpses of when he is non-hormonal. Sully only says "Hi" to everyone who comes into the house and can laugh and do a laser. Othewise, he is a quiet guy. So if you get an eclectus please chose a young one that you can bring up and that can be accustomed to your lifestyle as I believe they are normally very sweet, easygoing and gentle birds. Carolz of the forum has a male eclectus she raised, I believe and perhaps she will chime in here with her observations of her life with an eclectus.

Good for Tobie!!!! Way to get things back in proper prospective Tobie!!!!! :blink: :blink: :laugh:

I would like to know what others do when they go on vacation or when an emergency makes it necessary to leave your pets for a week or two. Do you have family who care for your pets, hire someone to come in and care for them or take them to a boarding place? Just how do you provide for your pets care for long periods of time?

Fingers crossed that a solution can be find for Charlie's plucking problem. Good thoughts coming Charlie's way!

Great looking foot toys!!!!!
