Hi, welcome to you, Lulu, Techno and Syd. Glad you decided to join the grey family. I look forward to hearing more about your fids!

Mark, I can't wait to hear how Max's homecoming goes. To hear how Max and Scooby-Doo get along!

Mark, I am very happy that you have finally found Max. I remember reading about Max's loss about the time I first joined the forum. So I only have good thoughts for you and Max. So how is Scooby-Doo? I hope Max and Scooby-Doo get along. Please keep us posted on how it goes.

Have a great time with your baby Juno this weekend!!!! Can't wait to see some pictures!!!! (hint, hint)

Ana Grey was #1 in a clutch of 4. So fingered crossed for Gonzo and Camilla's four. This is so exciting! Gonzo and Camilla are going to be great parronts!

I am so sorry for your loss of sweet Macey. Prayers that she is flying high with the wind at her back toward peace in heaven.

So glad you have Domingo back and he is home safe and sound. We hope to hear more about Domingo. How was he found? Details please!!!!

Ten things about Ana Grey: 1. Always gives me a kiss if I ask for one. 2. If I say want a nut she immediately hurries to me to get one. 3. When she hears me up in the AM she starts wolf whistle until I whistle back. 4. If she is out in the evening she will go back to her cage on her own at about 8:30 pm so she can have a snack before sleep time. 5. If I say "nite nite" she will run to her sleep perch before lights go out. 6. When I mist her with Aloe Vera and water she runs to the very top of her cage playtop and flaps her wings and turns round and round so she can be totally soaked. 7. Sits on her boing by my desk and always asks "What are you doing" while I type. 8. Loves to drive me crazy with her crow sounds. 9. Always tries to steal my pug Lily's food. 10. Loves to be cuddled and petted anytime. That's ten, there are more . . .:lol: :silly:

Come on Bernie, pop the top!!!!! Where is your sense of adventure. The need to be the first!!!! If you're scared, send the bottle to me, I'll pop the top and give it a swig or two. I'll sacrifice myself for the good of all!!!!

Hi Tom, I salute you for adopting an older grey. Just be patient when Bailey gets comfortable in her new home she will open up and probably talk your ear off. Can't wait to hear more about her. Welcome to the grey family.

So very heartwarming, Dave. Thanks for posting this sweet poem.

I keep my fids' food in tightly closed containers. If I buy in bulk I too keep their extra food in the freezer. I wouldn't have any kind of sticky traps around my birds or their food.

Oh my, Pat while I was at the store getting the rawhide Dave suggested I bought Sully some grapes and popped them into his cage for a treat because I feel so sorry about his little problem. No more grapes now, I promise!!! Thanks for the heads up about the soft foods!! I need all the help I can get!!!

Oh Dave, thank you with all my heart!!! You are God sent!!! I'm off to the store right now!!!! :kiss:

For the last week or so my sweet Sully, re-homed 10 year+ male Eclectus, has been lunging and biting at me. I have had Sully for 4 months and he has been the most gentle and sweet guy. Well until now that is. Even when I am just changing his water or food he dashes to the opening and makes a brutal stab at me. If he is out of his cage and I try to step him up he "tongues" my arm and then gives me a vicious bite. He has been lunging at Ana Grey when she goes up to him and I have had to be very vigilant to see that she stays away from him. Last night while I was cleaning cages was the last straw. Sully climbed over to Ana Grey's cage and tried several times to attack her through the bars. Nothing has changed in the way I treat or care for them so I am hoping that he is just being a hormonal B-st--d. I did call Sully's old owner and yes he does act this way when he is hormonal and that I should just be patient. I, of course, have a great fear of his harming Ana Grey so I have removed her from the bird room and will keep them totally apart for now. He is easily twice as big as her. I'm not sure yet how I will handle his wanting to bite me because I am a bleeder (caused by medication). I have tried wrapping my arm with cloth tape but his beak is so large he can still grab me. I live alone so I can only do the best I can and hopefully Sully will return to his old self soon. Just had to vent. Thanks for listening and if you have any advice or suggestions, I'm listening!

I have a boing that hangs right next to my desk. Ana Grey loves to sit there and ask me, "What are you doing"?<br><br>Post edited by: luvparrots, at: 2009/09/14 23:22

I have never let my grey on my shoulder from day one. She is now a year old and doesn't even attempt to go there. The reason I didn't want Ana Grey on my shoulder to begin with was that I didn't want poop running down my back. For some reason Ana Grey never poops on me now but then she no longer tries to go to my shoulder either; so we are both happy!

Hi Terri. What a mighty flock you have!! I can't wait to hear more about each and everyone of them and see some pictures. Welcome to the grey family!!!

What a beautiful lady Rose is!!!! Love the pictures!!!!<br><br>Post edited by: luvparrots, at: 2009/09/16 21:35

I'm so sorry Pat. I hope he is at peace. Sleep well Pat's old friend. What is your sweet companion's name, Pat?

Congratulations on your new baby Lucy! Great pictures! Can't wait to hear more about Lucy as she settles in.

Thanks for the thread lovethatgrey! Might give it a try!

Sorry you're not feeling well, Jay. Hope you get better soon. Hope Salsa's molt is over soon too.

:woohoo: :lol: Oh yum, yum!!!! So how was the sauce???:lol:

Both my Grey and Eclectus are dunkers. Because of this, I change their water twice a day, little boogers!
