aww cutie!!! Pepper loves to dance he does it all the time haha. He will occasionally sing too, but only his song that he made up

Pepper does the same thing! Ha

thanks for the warm words everyone! Pepper has been doing great being locked up while I am at work. Little buddy is hanging out with me right now haha and yes i have been a nanny for the past 3 years and still am! so definitely have some practice there, thankfully

aw so cute =)

thanks! its a boy!!!

He was a bit scared at first but he likes it now!! Plus when i left this morning I left him some crackers he likes and he loved that. Even opened the blinds a tiny bit so he could see a little outside

We are only starting to lock him up while I am working during the day. In the mornings he is out with us, and when I get home hew is out until he goes to bed. Before when I would work he'd be out all day and he is ruining our apartment carpets, as well as the blinds. So we got him a great new cage that he can enjoy. And certaintly when the baby comes here I will be a stay at home mom for awhile and when I do Pepper will be out of the cage since I am home! I only work 11 - 5 so he is only in the cage for 6 1/2 hours during the day, then when he sleeps. I would never lock him up all the time I love Pepper to death he is my first baby..loll, I just mean from now on when we are not home! Anytime I am home he is out and hanging out with us!

well Pepper will be 3 this July!! And in August my bf and I are expecting our first baby:). Soo some changes are being made...Pepper has been allowed to hangout in his room not locked in his cage since we got him. Yes I know that isnt ideal but he has done fine! But anyways now we are starting to lock him up during the day [starting tomorrow] I hope it goes well. Also he got a new cage!! And here are some newer pics of him

Ok, so we want to get a tree soon..but we are curious is it OK to have it with Pepper around? Of course we wouldn't let him on it or let him chew it [he's scared anyways], but is the scent bad? Thanks;)

thnx doing some googling now

I feeel so terrible that i was going to feed him it!! good thing i asked!

Omg. Where is the list in here of toxic stuff? Thanks

We already made it. So can he have some of it if there isnt any oninon in his dish? Or does the onion already cooked in there ruin it?

We're making chilli tonight and want to know if it is safe for Pepper? I think Chilli has a lot of salt content, but we will not be giving him a lot. I am sure he would love it because of the green pepper added to it! Any info would be great, thanks =]

Me too. I think I told him sorry about 50 times haha

Hah here is one of him being funny on the couch excuse my BF talking so loud in the background:mad: and him talking while looking out the window share some of your videos. i LOVE watching them;)

Pepper is doing a lot better, I don't think he is in pain anymore either He's back to his silly...talkative-self. Lol.

Also, i dont see any pus..but it seemed to have the "wet" look, idk how to explain it. But no like colored liquids, it looked clear..but not flowing out -- if this makes sense? Is that part of the healing process? [Exccccuse me, I am a paranoid person. Hah, good luck for me when I have kids !!] Oh and the sad thing is i havent put him up on the door in SO long, but decided to today and yep look what happens. Alsoo i think it looks worse in person than the pic!

Ok, I won't do the aloe yet then.. on the peroxide, the only reason I am a bit hesitant... the bird is going to possibly play at his foot with his beak if I put that on him and i do NOT want him to eat that. so is it still safe? I feel so terrible, still. He is perching that one foot up ugh. I think he has a grudge lol..I got bit twice again really hard, and then a third time I got a beak beat into my head haha. =( i can tell hes in pain and i feel helpless poor buddy!! he is eating though and talking a lot

I think I do have some gel around the house! I didnt know to use that on parrots Thanks!

He can definitely move it, I just notice when he sits he props that foot up a lot. There is a little blood but nothing bad on his foot. I dont think hes too mad at me now...I put him in his room to relax for a few minutes while I took a bath [i leave both doors open so I can see him -- we live in an apartment...not too big here lol] and he came running on the floor to sit on the edge of the bath by me lol. But yeah im guessing he is just going to be in pain for a few days or week and hopefully it heals fast poor buddy. How do I see signs of infection?

ohhhhhhh my god. it was an accident, and i feel so terrible right now. i havent been here in awhile and other than this incident that just happened Pepper has been doing really great... but can someone take a look at these pics? He is shaking a little bit, he is hurt obviously It seems as though the only damage down is the skin peeling off his feet.. should he be OK? I know it hurts because he keeps sitting with that foot up. And I feel so terrible....as soon as I ttried to pick him up [to make sure hes OK] I got bit very very hard in my thumb so my thumb looks equivalent to his foot. Thats okay Pepper, I deserved that. Anyways i feel terrible . Im really short too so I totally forgot I put him up there just 5 minutes ago. Uggh.. It was very hard to get any pictures at all and i didnt wanna try too hard to get a picture and stress him out, but here is what I got: I didnt rush to the vet because I didnt really see any blood, and he seems to be OK other than the foot. But any second opinions are appreciated.. Does it grow back? Thanks.... My poor little buddy!!!!! I am trying to leave him alone right now and let him rest

Pepper goes to bed around 10-11pm and wakes up around 7am-8am. He wakes himself up if hears us up and will start yelling "PEPPERRRRRRRRr!!!!!!!"

Does this look okay? We are a bit concerned, no vets are open. Don't want to rush him to an emergency vet if it is nothing. It looks a bid odd to us and not right. We have seen a few flaking pieces, not too much though. Obviously we are not sure if this is serious, so thanks for any input. Not sure if these are good enough pictures. Thanks
