I did not mean anything mean about cockatoo's. I have had them and even although i too believe there beauty and personalities are amazing it is just not a good fit for me. I absolutely love macaws and greys and amazons. They are very beautiful birds

I thought the aloe needed to be mixed with part water also? If not i will have to try this. I have heard that if you mist them daily there are some people that have had great success with plucking by just spraying them daily. Whether they like it or not. I am just always concerned that i become the hated one if i do this daily though

I knew a lady here in Houston that one and they are absolutely beautiful but i am not much of a cockatoo fan to begin with. I would rather want a Hyacinth that would be my dream bird,lol

Happy Hatch day Cosmo hope your mommy got you lots of new toys

Please do take a look at my website if you care to. You can pm me for more info etc. I make all my own toys and most of all safety is my number one concern. http://www.crazyforbirdtoys.com

Please give me some feed back on what you all think. I have been very creative today or at least i am very happy with everything i came up with. One of those successful days.lol

I had a brain not working moment when i got to these last ones but here goes, Red, Blue, Scotty and Owen and of course Mr. Juice. And my cockatoo was Cockapoo. Sorry having having 28 birds i just could not think of fun names anymore.lol

I was trying to add some more new ones but could not. Let me try again since there are some really nice ones if i may say so myself. I worked really hard these pass couple of days to make something new or different,.lol

If anyone needs toys etc i am offering free shipping on all toy orders of $70 or more. New stuff added as of yesterday please do stop by and take a loo kat all my new goodies. http://www.crazyforbirdtoys.com

I would not let them have foam i just dont feel like its safe especially if they should swallow some. i lost my little red flank lorikeet last year due to something similar to this. I had no idea he was eating the stuff i thought it was on the bottom of the cage.

Came up with some new designs etc for toys yesterday.

Wayne sorry no i just went with it. Decide how far from the floor you want to be. Thats what i did. Then i started putting it together. Pvc crosses and and pvc is all you need and then end caps so they dont pick off the vet wrap and i like to hang the toys from it. I used nuts to hold the fasteners for the hanging toys. By putting the nut end inside the end cap big beak cannot destroy or take it off,lol. Make your perches the lenght that works best for your bird. I put it together watch the bird play and make adjustments as i go along. Sorry i no this is not good but hey this is how i do it. My husband is a engineer and it drives him nuts. Because he wants to lay it out on paper first. I feel you wont know how it works unless you watch the bird climb around etc ect. I did use the 2in pvc. First started with 1inch but it was too flimsy., Would work for the greys and amazons but not for a macaw. Hope this helps somewhat if not just get back with me,

Here are my 2 cages. And my room is actually clean for a few seconds,

I hope you picked up the umbrella stand you no you need to make this!

You are welcome, and just like Dave said i should have added also, if you never had birds before it would be wise to see how its done first and they can show you how to do it.

I have been doing all 400 of my birds myself. When you trim nails you can take care of the beak filing at the same time.

thank you so much

thank you so much i am pretty happy with it. Now i can have all the eating in one spot when they are out of the cages.

I finally got it finished and i love how it turned out. Birds could not wait to get onto it. Feedback would be appreciated. Thanks

Maybe move the stand to another area maybe something is making him upset. Sometimes it could be something as easy as just moving the stand or perch. Too hot too cold too loud on the tv etc etc. I hope this helps until someone can maybe come up with something better. The perch is sturdy right?

Just in case anyone is in need of some really cool toys i got a great shipment in yesterday. From small birds to large birds should be something for everyone. I dont no about you all but mothers day is tomorrow and i would take bird toys any day forget the flowers i want new toys for my babies,lol Love to see you all at the online store. http://www.crazyforbirdtoys.com

I wanted to make something where i could put all the foraging things in what area for my birds. It is not complete since i made one yesterday out of 1 inch pvc but it was too flimsy. So today i remade it with the big pvc. Still need to add the end caps and then all the foraging stuff. Will show when completed but here is what i have so far. Enjoy! The bottom picture is the one i made before but was not sturdy enough

Start with a picture frame the size you want the door to be and then just build around it that is what i did there was no plan just came along as i made it. When closed it is a nice display of my babies pictures.

I am so very proud of this diy project i made myself. Let me no if anyone is interested in this for instructions. Believe it or not i started out with a picture frame 10 x12

That sounds really good got to try it thanks
