Great video Lyn!!!! Karma for the great demo!!!

{Feel-good-0002006E} Way to go Grandma!!!! :evil:

Whatever your excuse is Bernie, I'm just glad you're back!!!! You're the only willing bloke we can pick on!!!! :laugh: :laugh: :P

I took Ana Grey out in her harness the other day and yes it was a battle that I finally won to get it on her. In hindsight I should have occasionally put her harness on her during the winter months and life would have been much easier for us this spring. I have two wire travel cages for my fids so perhaps it would be easier just to put them in these cages and then take them outside so they can enjoy the sun!<br><br>Post edited by: luvparrots, at: 2010/02/21 19:53

#20 ball in Flight. #1 When I was

What a great wave Alfie!!!! Thanks for sharing it with us Lyn!

I pray that this sweet grey is found and returned home quickly.

Thanks for re-activating this thread. An update on Ana Grey. She is now 18-months old and is talking a lot more. So don't give up hope! Talking will come if it is to be. Just be patient!

Hi memphisbird! So glad you gave Tracy a forever home. Please introduce yourself in the Welcome Room so that everyone can say Hi and get to know you!

Wow, how old is Mocha now? Love the way she was practicing. It was easy to understand what Mocha was saying. This is so exciting. words and phrases will now start to overflow!!!! Can't wait to hear more!

I also took Ana Grey out in her harness today. It has been awhile and she was a little ornery about putting it on and was very quiet outside. We were out for about ½ an hour and the sunshine was great for both of us. Now I have to start in on the yard!!!! :blink: :lol: I'm glad to hear that Issac enjoyed his time outside too.<br><br>Post edited by: luvparrots, at: 2010/02/21 03:50

That Amazon, Storm, certainly doesn't want to let the lady talk!!!! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Thank you Dr. Flock! I knew you would have the proper answer. :kiss:

My biggest fear about my Ana Grey's safety is that she will fly away. So how do you prevent your grey from flying away? What precautions do you take? Here are some aids that I use and would love to hear other ideas to help me protect my sweet grey. 1. I try to make sure that all doors and windows are closed before I let my fids out of their cages. This is easy for me because I live alone. But what about others who have husbands and children who go in and out of the house. What do you do? What precautions have you installed with your family? 2. When Ana Grey is out of her cage, we have a call, "Come Here" that she comes to for a treat. She always comes because she loves shelled peanuts. I am hoping that if she ever is outside this call will get her to come to me for her treat. 3. I have her fly downwards to me from the top of her hanging perches so that she will not be afraid to fly down to me from a high tree, hopefully. So many people have said that their parrots can't fly downward which I don't understand. If someone can explain that to me I would be grateful. 4. We have lots of sounds that we practice together so that she will hopeful answer back to me if she is outside. She does it in the house without fail. Lots of "Woo Woos" and wolf whistles. She loves to do her whistling bomb and we practice all the time. I am hoping that if she is outside and afraid she will still whistle if not talk. 5. I have prepared posters for the street poles which I keep in my computer for quick and easy printing if the need ever arises. 6. I have light-weight hanging screens on my front door so that when someone goes in or out the screen would hopefully deter a flying grey. 7. Instead of a patio drape I have window drapes on my patio door. I can open half and leave half closed so that my dog can go in and out without leaving the drapes open. Ana Grey can't see that the door is cracked open for my pug. That way sunlight can also still beam down on my houseplants. 8. Ana Grey is also micro-chipped, just in case. If she is lost and taken to a vet, they would be able to find me. So what do you do to protect your fids from leaving the nest??? I would love to hear your precautions!!!!<br><br>Post edited by: luvparrots, at: 2010/02/21 19:12

Thanks for sharing Pepper's videos with us Brittany! I'm delighted she is now safe at home!

I believe he is still working out of town. Had to leave before Valentine's Day and didn't get to spend it with his wife:( He was bummed! :unsure: He said he would be back Wednesday, so here's hoping! :silly: Miss you Bernie! :kiss:

Glad to hear Pepper's breathing has slowed back down to normal! Let us know how the vet visit goes tomorrow, now relax and get some sleep!

What great pictures Sara! Charly certainly is a very happy and confident little grey!!!

Happy, happy, happy for you Brittany!!!! You are so lucking that some kind and generous guys found Pepper and returned her!!! Now be careful with all those treats and goodies you want to give her. You wouldn't want to spoil her! :laugh:

It's an 18-month old Continental Giant rabbit, weighs 42 lbs, is almost 4' long, and lives in Uckfield, UK. It eats, biscuits, 1 cabbage, 2 apples, celery, 1/2 cucumber and rabbit pellets just for breakfast! His name is Ralph.<br><br>Post edited by: luvparrots, at: 2010/02/19 22:19

Perhaps you can enlist the kids in the neighborhood to keep an eye out for Pepper. Don't give up Brittany. Be strong!

Gee haven't had a nip in what about a month!!!! :ohmy: :ohmy: What is the world coming to?????? :blink: :blink:

Hi Sara. What a great re-introduction to you and Charly! Can't wait to see some pictures and hear more about him/her!!!
