i found a new foot toy for charlie... and it is a hit. metal puzzles.. you know the kind of tested metal that you have to figure out how to take apart... I found a box of four in my junk drawer and thought charlie would like playing with those.. and he does.. not sure where they came from but he likes them

http://www.cheepparrottoysntips.com/index.html I found one of them.

Here hope this helps with ideals to do with all that stuff.. i love making toys for charlie. http://www.cheepparrottoysntips.com/index.html

Yep I beleive that is part of having a parrott and dogs in the same house, didnt take charlie long to learn if he threw food on floor the dogs would run to eat it...

I had some good homemade thread sites... and I lost them. Had to reformat my computer and lost them. can you all please tell me of some, not having much luck with finding some.. i had several good ones and cant seem to find them searching.

Charlie does make beeping sounds on occasion like that.. the telephone recorder.. and we too have mistaken charlie when it was the battery in the carbon detector.... they are funny the way the pick up the sounds and confuse us...I have also went to answer the recorder and discovered it was charlie.

cute, i have been putting ice in charlies water since it has been so hot here and our ac was broken for 3 days, fixed now. and he held it for a little while then threw it out... picked all the cubes out and threw them out one at a time.

ok so Charlie has a new cage and it is large compared to his old one.. he is adapting well also. But he has a lot more room and wanted to add some rope perches, possible a new swing, as he has been eating his old one... and need a few of the metal bowls as his cage didnt have any.. anyhow what is a good on line store, as i know i have to order this on line, no local store will have them except maybe petsmart and they are expensive.

well darnit cant get picture to download..

Well we went to flea market this morning... a guy had a bird cage for 100 dollars... It is a nice one, with play stand and tray on top.. 28 by 36 by 44 inches high.. a lot larger then his old cage... took it to car wash on way home cleaned it brought it home and put it back together, Bob put charlie in it and he dont seem to mind it... doesnt want nothing to do with the play stand on top yet, but figure he will as he gets used to the new cage... it also game with toys.. only thing is that it only has one bar perch.. but we can get a dowel and make another.. I looked it up on line and it is a 459 dollar cash, my husband did good. well I am gonna try to download a picture for u all.. It has a skirt that goes on it but it doesnt have the hardware so bob will get it monday and add it.

Charlie is back to talking... i heard him a few days ago.. hollering charlie bird, charlie bird... i answered back yes charlie is a pretty bird.. he started hollering at the dogs at that point... snoopie come here red get in here.... he is so funny hollering at the dogs.. they dont pay any attention when he hollers at them... but all is well...

Charlie isnt talking, my husband is worried. Unfortunatly a few days after we found him we had to go out of town to a funeral, my sister in law had a heart attach..my daughter feed and watered him while we was gone. I figure after he gets over the shock of getting loose and then being abanded for 4 days he will start talking again.. am I right? and how long will that take?

Well since i havent been here in forever and havent let u all know how charlie is doing until he got loose and since i have found him I thought i would let u know how charlie has been doing. He will not let me touch him hardly anymore, but lets my husband.. he is his bird nowadays. he will when sitting on the top of his cage give me kisses. and i can hand him food or toys. He will let me put food and water in his cage, but i cannot pick him up at all. loves green beans, seems to be his favorite food.Plays on his playstand, seems to enjoy it, and sits on the back of our church bench in dining room and looks outside a lot. Bob can sit him on the floor and tell him go get in your cage and he will go get on it most of the time.. sometimes he will go to the playstand instead. He is now almost 2 yrs old, He is so smart. has picked up a good vocabulary.. Snoopie come here monoxide come here red get in here charlie bird pretty bird messey bird charlie are u a pretty bird barks like snoopie whines like Monoxide ( my sons dog a puppie) the phone ring the phone peep of answering machine good morning good night nite nite Bob wanta eat something peakapoo whistles makes the sound of running water makes the sound of the coffee pot Snoopie red Monoxide go outside no dont do that get out of there snoopie stop that red get out of there no i said no thats enough i said thats enough go lay down want this up there ( wants the small playstand on cage)sn snoopie leave him alone and even says some stuff i havent quiet made out yet. seens to pick up everything i say to the dog but says it at appropriate times like when the dogs are barking he will say thats enough... or if snoopie snaps at monoxide snoopie stop that, go lay down. We really enjoy him, the house would be so quiet without him. Right now he isnt saying much.. seems to be fine this morning. Figure he will start chattering again in a day or so. last night he got lots of attention. feed him green beans to make sure he was eating good. figured he had quite an adventure and was tired so i covered him right at dusk so he could get a good nights sleep in his own bed where he could relax. he is playing on his playstand this morning, and bob is talking to him.

i will keep jasper in my prayers... hopefully he hasnt gone far and will be found.

We went and talked to the lady this afternoon to find out the story... she said she heard him saturday morning, which he got out friday at dusk... she said he was in her crab apple tree.. then after couple hours he flew down onto her porch rale.... she has one of those houses that has a detached garage but the roof goes all the way across to the garage with open space where the steps and a small patio area is.... anyhow she said after he got there she pettied him.. and looked up on the internet what to feed him... she gave him bannanas and water... and that her husband wanted to keep him if no one came looking for him...but they just left him on the porch thinking he would return home... it was one block straight south of where the trees was that bob said he flew too... we had went by there looking for him a dozen times, I went there this morning walking and hollering at him... anyway this wont happen again, my husband has agreed charlie will not go out again, Charlie wont miss what he doesnt know, the outside world is not for a bird that has never been there... he is happily in his cage enjoying the attention that he is getting from my husband... Bob is so relieved... and the vet said he is fine, few scratches on his nose... and a slightly bruised eye but will be fine.. and his wings are clipped for now anyway... i will go read emmmas story..and make that decision, right now Bob just wanted his wings clipped immediately....so it is done.. no more outside adventures though.... we was very lucky.... it was the last street in town... if he had flew any further he would have been in the country..
