Thanks so much Caroline and here are my Eclectus' first pictures from the pet shop. I am hoping with the help of everyone here that I can turn around his plucking. So please excuse his "nakedness," we are going to work very hard on getting Butch not to be such an exhibitionist!!! Introducing Butch in all his glory!!!

Thanks for sharing this video Cindy, best chuckle of the day!!!!

Dawn glad to hear that Clyde was such a gentleman at the vets and that all looks good. Can't wait to hear whether or not Clyde is a guy!

Tiffany, good luck on your tests, drive carefully to go get Murphy and then when you get home, get busy with the picture taking so we can see your baby's homecoming. Really, that's a long drive after such a busy morning so be careful.

Boesman looks great in the pictures you posted. Thanks for sharing him with us!

Dawn, really enjoyed watching Rexxy enjoying his birthday monkey. The birthday song was great too, thanks for sharing!!

Thanks for the encouragement Jamal, Carol and Char. I'm all excited, this will be a challenge for me!

Glad your potty training for Ash are going well. Keep up the good work. You have encouraged me to keeping trying with Ana Grey.

Caroline, I hope you get rid of the ants. This is a great thread and I'm going to try the cinnamon on the sidewalk in front of my house. Nasty little buggers better look out!!!!

Such a cute story Jason. Ernie's first words and your reaction are going to be the talk of the neighborhood! Thanks for sharing your great news with us!<br><br>Post edited by: luvparrots, at: 2009/05/11 00:16

Hi jaqfash, your baby looks adorable thanks for sharing him with us. Can't wait to hear more about your sweet baby. Welcome to the family!

Thanks Summer and Caitlin for your support. I am super excited, and hope I can help Butch. I don't know about the name, will have to wait and see. I kind of like the name Colonel because the beak looks like a candy corn kernel.:laugh: I'll have to see.

Pat, Tyco looks so regal and Adaya is a doll in her harness. What great girls you have!

Sarah, Isa is adorable. Thanks for sharing your little ball of fur with us!

Congratulations Char, Whisper has expressed her love for you, great going!!!!

When you are home you can have Niko outside the cage with you. But like Judy said at night time place her in her cage and cover it if that is what she is use to. If she steps up for you already then it sounds like you are going great. If you want to take Niko out of her cage you should. If you have any pictures of Niko, we would love to see them.

Well, I found my Electus, Butch, he is a plucker and I hope I have learned enough from this great forum to help him. He is at least 8 years old, that's how long his rescuer has had him. He was found in the local car wash about 8 years ago and they called the pet shop to come and get him. He has been a plucker all this time and has had a couple of other homes and has always been returned to the pet shop because he screams if he is unhappy. Butch only likes who he likes and screams if he is displeased. He likes me and I really like him so as soon as I get the new cage I ordered for Butch he is coming home with me. Next time I go see him, I will bring my camera and get some pictures. He doesn't talk, but I still have high hopes for him. Will keep you posted, I am so excited. He has had many birds around him all this time so he and Ana Grey should get along, we'll see. Now I have to go on the internet and learn all I can about male Eclectus!!:woohoo:<br><br>Post edited by: luvparrots, at: 2009/05/22 05:47

Hi vietnow, welcome to the family. I sorry that you lost your former bird, do you mean it flew away and was it an African Grey? Regardless, congratulations on your new bird. I am assuming your new bird is an african grey. When you say the bird was most of the time outside, what do you mean? Outside her cage? Or outside the house/apartment in a cage? Did the former owner cover the cage at night? You need to give us a little more information please. What is your grey's name and how old is it? Sorry for all the questions, but it helps to know the background of a grey so that some of the experienced members can try and help you.

{Feel-good-0002006E}Ms Manners sure could have a field day with all these messy table manners!! Great photos!!!:woohoo:

Great video GorgASS, loved the baby grey sounds!!!

Caroline, I do want to get another FID but I really want an Eclectus. There is one at the local pet shop that is a real bad plucker his name is Butch. He always calls to me when I am in the store. Anyway, I want to convince Butch's owner that Butch should come home with me. We'll see what happens.<br><br>Post edited by: luvparrots, at: 2009/05/07 03:02

Hi Ihendrie1, karma to you for re-homing an older grey. Sounds like your grey really wants to be your friend but he is a little cautious. I would just let him continue to go at his own pace. He seems to doing a great job of training you to be a great parront. I would just talk to him quietly and tell him what you are doing. He'll set the pace and come to you, he already has What is your grey's name? And welcome to the family!!!

Hi Brian. I hope you fine the right grey for you. Welcome to the family.

Hi Cristen, congratulations on bringing your baby grey home. Dalia is a lovely name and from your Avatar, I can see she is a beautiful little lady. Welcome to the family.
