You have all of our support twosteph! Right now would probably be a good idea idea to introduce the little one to light sponge baths...to get her familiar with getting wet. Have you tried that yet. Maybe filling up a bowl of warm to cool water only deep enough to wet her toes letting her sit in it for a bit and just use your hand to sprinkle her head lightly with water.

Congrats on your little one!

What a sweet looking baby!{Love-0002011D}

Sounds like she just wanted to join her Daddy.. she thought it might be a quicker route!

Hmmm. Maybe it's about time that Emma and Sachi started earning their keep around here.

Maybe try this site. http://www.claviaryonline.com/adventurepack.html

I found this site.. http://www.pecanacrespets.com/

Oohh!! Naughty Storm! .. Sounds like you might need to consider a padlock for her own safety.<br><br>Post edited by: lovethatgrey, at: 2009/03/29 13:35

Good to hear!! I was a bit worried... but still seems like they screwed up by clipping her feathers. I can't imagine why anybody would even alter the feathers or wings at that age. They barely have anything to clip. It kind of makes me mad.

I was really happy when I only had my pionus parrot Sachi but now with Emma and her together I am extremely content to have two parrots rather a single one. There was definitely an adjustment period when Emma came home for Sachi had been used to being the Princess of the house. While Emma was being weaned I used to bring Sachi to visit on a weekly basis so that they could become familiar with each other. Today I know Sachi and Emma recognize that they are part of each other's flock. I also know that having each other during the day helps to break the silence. Parrots are very social creatures and I think they do better when they are among their 'flock" rather than be left alone for long periods of time. I feel very comforted knowing that neither of my parrots are never physically alone. They provide to each other the kind of companionship that we wouldn't be able to provide for them during the day when we are at work or out. After all we can't be everything to our parrots at all times of the day either:) .<br><br>Post edited by: lovethatgrey, at: 2009/03/29 04:46

8 weeks old seems awfully young.:blink: :blink: My Emma weaned at 23 weeks old and I met her when she was 11 weeks old. I don't know much or anything about your situation but something doesn't feel right.

I just noticed the name you chose. It sound very nice and very unisex.

Congrats and welcome to the forum!

Welcome to the forum!!

Welcome aboard!!! I have a white capped pionus parrot named Sachi!!! Looking forward to hearing more about your feathered loved ones!

It is extremely light, user friendly and in many ways.. the perfect travel cage.{Love-0002011D} As mentioned... the cage is very well made... but the canvas is another story....When I purchased this back pack I only had my little Sachi. I purchased it last January and only started using it in May. Sachi has seen many wonderful places in it. Now the dome portion of the canvas is attached by by these snap like buttons... and after a while they are very likely to become loose and fall off just through NORMAL USAGE and it left a hole in the canvas too:( . In my case... Emma finished the job off with one quick motion when I brought her home in it in Sept. What I did a few weeks ago is I brought the pack to my shoemaker and explained my predicament. I also explained what needed to remain in tact in terms of performance and design. What he did for me was amazing. He removed all of the cheap shoddy buttons and replaced them with VERY good quality ones but not before he lined all the insides where the buttons are with strips of leather. If you look at Emma's picture you can see a bit of what he did. It looks GREAT, performs great and is a far better quality product. I am very psyched about using my adventure pack with my girlies this year.

Ok. Let's see if this works. Ahh!! There you go. There's my little Sachi! Post edited by: lovethatgrey, at: 2009/03/29 01:48<br><br>Post edited by: lovethatgrey, at: 2009/03/29 01:48

I'll try again later when I am at home... it isn't working at the moment.<br><br>Post edited by: lovethatgrey, at: 2009/03/29 01:38

I personally prefer the adventure pack even if I have had to refine it. The cage itself is solid, lightweight and made out of stainless steel. It is well built.. not only for your comfort but especially for your parrot's comfort and pleasure. By the way .. have you thought about a new name for your parrot yet?B) I really wouldn't purchase the one on that website because those meshy holes don't seem to provide great ventilation... this would be of great concern to me ESPECIALLY on very warm days. Here is a picture of my Emma's backpack.

Sounds like a very good start!

What a sad story for Tyco but a wonderful ending!

I was just wondering if there were any members who had other types of parrots in addition to their african greys and how well do they get along or co-exist with their other parrots. I myself have a white capped pionus parrot as well as my grey girlie and I am very pleased with how things have turned out. They both share the same room but of course different cages. My african grey is more boisterous, and my pionus parrot more reserved and independent. They have very similar temperments in that they are both very calm and reserved by nature. For the most part.. they are both very quiet parrots. For those who have never heard of pionus parrots here is a link for more info. http://www.pionusparrot.com/<br><br>Post edited by: lovethatgrey, at: 2009/03/28 23:14
