How lucky for Harvey. My friend was in London during this time and yes the weather absolutely great!

Absolutely! Without a doubt.{Feel-good-00020114}

I just saw this thread today. I hope you and all your feathered loved ones are well. I agree that we are all humans and humans make mistake. Don't be too hard on yourself. We all know how much you love your fids.

Out of curiosity .. how old is your grey and who took care of her when you were on your business trip?<br><br>Post edited by: lovethatgrey, at: 2009/11/07 16:52

Scooter is very handsome. Welcome to the forum.

Miss Alfie seems like a little diva princess! It's nice to make sure that one looks nice.{Emotions-000200BE}

This video was taken this week and little Emma turned 20 months old today!{Love-0002011E} Hope you enjoy.

Not really sure if it is harmful or not but personally I wouldn't offer it to Emma. I'd offer Harvey a delicious unpickled jalapeno instead.

Someone really loves his mush.

What ever you do ..DEFINITELY do not abandon him just because of his change in behaviour. Seek to understand him and do what is necesary to help him.<br><br>Post edited by: lovethatgrey, at: 2009/11/05 04:06

Sounds like a new cage might be the way to go. I took a look at your bully thread and I really wouldn't want to exacerbate the situation if possible.

Personally, I don't think it would be a big deal if I had to switch cages for Emma. Emma is used to constant change. I think it's a matter of knowing your grey and understanding how they might react to that type of change.

Congrats on adding your new family member! Nilah is such a pretty name too. I'm so impressed that you added an amazon.. I like them very much but wouldn't feel confident about being a parront to one. Hope you have many many years of bliss together.{Feel-good-00020114}

Here's a Canadian website for those who might be interested in offering their fids some variety organic food. http://www.avianorganics.com/

I feel a bit perplexed. I log on regularly but I really did not know until this week that Tobie and Josey have been chewing their feathers. Did this suddenly occur out of the blue? Or has then been going on for quite a while? I'm saddened by this news and will send you all healthy vibes and positive thoughts.

I've been wondering about this topic for a while. How long do you figure it would take our parrots to become phobic and cage bound if we stopped handling them and giving them out of cage time. My intuition tells me that it would not take long at all for them to revert to their wild ways.What do you guys think?

Thank you for Everybirdy's compliments. Much appreciated. Emma's Atom was purchased at Motherpluckinbirdtoys.com and I purchased the Large.

I think that what is written on the band is unique and specific to the breeder. They band the baby parrots so that they can differentiate them one from another. Other than that there is no universal way to read what is on the band and alot of breeders are not even registered with some kind of registry.<br><br>Post edited by: lovethatgrey, at: 2009/10/29 15:52

I took this video this morning. Notice how she waits for me to say " tight, forever and ever" after she says "strong and ... " when I don't responds. she asks "what's wrong?" Is that not smart or what? I never imagined having an african grey would be like this. Hope you enjoy.{Feel-good-00020114}

I carved a pumpkin last week and offered Emma some. She liked it so much that she went to the bottom of the cage to retrieve the parts she had dropped. Pumpkin is rich in vitamin A and fiber! :woohoo:

That's a great pic and Ecko looks like he is waiting to be praised for his pumpkin carving ability too!

Her Peebooo is adorable sounding!{Feel-good-00020114}

Sorry to hear about all this. I can only imagine how disappointing this is. I didn't know that Josey did this. I was wondering.. do you see Josey when she is destroying her feathers?

I love the way he checks to see if all is in order in the beginning. I've never thought of offering Emma a telephone book. May have to think about that. I was wondering at one point whether Dayo has his own spice rack.. then I realized that his play area is in the kitchena area.
