Luvparrots

A lady was walking down the street to work and sees a parrot in a pet store. She stops to admire the lovely gray bird. The parrot says to her, "Hey lady, you are really ugly." Well, the lady is furious! She storms past the store to her work. On the way home she sees the same parrot in the window and the parrot upon seeing her says, "Hey lady, you are really ugly." The lady is now incredibly ticked off. The next day on the way to work she sees the same parrot and once again it says,"Hey lady, you are really ugly." The lady is so furious she storms into the store and threatens to sue the store and have the bird barbecued. The store manager apologizes profusely and promises the bird won't say it again. That evening when the lady walks past the store on the way home, the parrot says, "Hey lady." The lady pauses and scowls with an icy and deadly stare, and hoarsely says, "Yes?" The bird strutting back and forth on its perch says in a cocky manner, "You know." :evil: {Feel-good-00020069}

`When you strap your parrot's traveler carrier in the child's seat instead of your 2-year. or ~When you have two children seats--- one for the 2 year-old and one for your parrot.

Try the ChirpnSquawk Bird Supplies for a Tropical Traveler Bird Carrier. They look fanastic and great for trips or visits to the vet.

Great new addition to your flock. Love that playstand they're on. Where did you get it? Would love one too.:cheer:

I'll be getting my TAG in November and haven't seen her/him yet, so seeing your new baby is very exciting for me. Love the pics.{Feel-good-0002006B}

I don't have my grey yet, but I listen to what everyone says, I have my jug of aloe vera, the playtop cage is in the mail, along with two beaded screens for my doors to prevent unauthorized sightseeing, and scores of other necessities the human flock has told me about. Dave007 should be called Dr.Flock he has an unlimited mountain of knowledge. Ask and someone, or everyone in this new family will be there to help.{Feel-good-000200BB}

Gee Dave007, we can always count on you to bring the human aspects to light:evil: ; are we lucky to have you around? Yes we are!!!{Feel-good-0002006E}

I've been thinking alot about when my baby Tag joins my home and what I would like it to learn to mimic. To this end I have been listening closely to the sounds in and around my house. The ones I can't do anything about because I live in town; the garbage truck, the lunch whistle that blows at noon, the school buses and children going to and from the bus, amd my favorite the train whistle; and the ones I could do something about, my dog Lily's barking, the sound of the doorbell, and my favorite my grandfather clock which chimes Westminister Abbey. And all I can say is, I CAN'T WAIT!!!{Feel-good-0002006E}{Feel-good-00020069}{Feel-good-0002006B}

You are so lucky to be able to help raise all the baby birds you do. Your knowledge is invaluable to the forum. We are so lucky. Please keep us informed on the Greenwing{Feel-good-000200BB}

Welcome, do you have a Cag (Congo) or Tag (Timneh) African Grey. The Cags have black beaks and the Tags horn colored. Sounds like you have a whole menagerie. Cant wait to hear more about your family of feathered friends.{Feel-good-00020069}

Sounds great to put the Tag back in his cage for time out to teach it is unacceptable to be agressive, but the question is, is it really worth the risk if the Tag is so aggressive?

Sounds like the adjustment should be a no brainer since Lily is an easy going lady and loves everyone, not a jealous bone in her body. She gets loads of attention and she always shows love to everyone. She can sit for hours and loves to watch TV, I leave it on for her so she is never lonely. My REAL KIDS think I'm nuts to do that. She is the Alfa in the household and is just part of the family.:cheer:

Thanks for your help and info{Feel-good-00020114}

I have a pug named Lily who has been my companion since she was 8 weeks old. She is now 7. She is a very well-behaved companion and very intelligent. She of course is with my all the time and has had my total attention. How do I introduce my baby TAG (will be joining the family in November) to her? Does anyone have any input that can help me. I don't want to make Lily feel replaced, for she is everything to me. I just don't want her to eat her new friend!!!:unsure:

What is the best pellet? I was going to try Pretty Bird Specially for Greys. What is everyone feeding their feathered friends??
