Thanks for the warm welcome everyone. Someone asked about Jim Bob games. His favorite game is "bear in the cave". I place a towel on my lap making a cave. I put my fingers in on end of cave and he runs under and attacks the bear. His next favorite game is "bite the toes that move". It is what it sounds like and is really only fun for him. I have a lot of holey socks. LOL.

Hi everyone. My name is Tammy and my African Grey Jim Bob and I have been best friends for 2 years. I have no experience with birds until and since Jim Bob but Jim Bob has no experience with humans either so we are having fun learning together. My bird is a talker and loves games. He is not clipped and is a good flyer. I never knew I could love a bird so much and I cannot imagine life without him. I have other pets too as I am a animal lover. I have a dog, fish, bunny and 2 gerbils. I am glad to find this spot to come too. Thanks for being here.

Hello all. My CAG is 2 years old. I do not clip his wings and he flies very well. The reason I don't clip is that a year ago Jim Bob was so sick and almost died. For some reason his liver was swollen and and a biopsy was done showing a hematoma. The vet feels that he may have fallen hard because the bird shop may have cut too many feathers. I don't choose to clip feathers anymore and my vet said it is just a matter choice. Jim Bob does well and we make sure he is not exposed to dangerous objects (ceiling fans, cooking pots, open toilet seats etc.) What do you all think? My friend thinks its BAD that I do not clip. Thanks.
