Brilliant!!!

Yes I do hope she hasnt been scared away. And yes Everyone has a right to post here!

Hey its fun to be crazy!!!!

Awe what a sweet grey you have even sharing his beloved Almonds! How endearing

Crazy Issac! Sounds like a little of his "wild" instinct coming out. Lol

Wow...Im not getting involved with this one! I do wonder what Xcel has decided to do....

What a beautiful baby you have there! And just as Judy said, He is such an inspiration...Really we all have "problems" and we should all be more like Ozzy...Determined. :) :) Thank you for sharing him with us!

Hey I read all your posts too! Your the greatest! I always look forward to hearing from you. Your such a cute little rascal!

Great job! You dont realize how hard it is when you are home alone to just keep talking about things, And telling "someone" (your bird) what your are doing constantly...But once you get it into a habit, it is easy as pie...It will be second nature...But then everyone will just think your crazy for talking to "yourself" around the house all day. lol but hey WHO CARES!

Hey Caitlin, Glad to hear from you! Sorry you have this hard decision to make, I cant imagine....I have no advice for you cuz I dont even know what I would do! Actually, I am happily married and happy with my little family and personally I could never leave them. So Thats just me and my personal opinion. But everyones circumstances are differant, Cuz I know you are happy with your little family too, But schooling is obviously very important to you and your family. So Congrats on you acceptance to these schools! Thats wonderful! and I know whatever you decide will be the best cuz I know you care for your babies

Hope all is well And does your baby kinda keep his legs like this? This is Calypso is 4 weeks, and she always had her legs all silly, Just click on the thumbnail picture to see it bigger.

Another great picture!

@Tricky: LOL I does look like sand! But No, Its just papertowles And Thanks :) @Elven: Yes I see where they use to be bunnies! lol, He does really like chewing them up huh! I just saw a toy the other day with a little plastic frog on it like that, Issac would of loved it! Calypso is more for the wood. And the Leather...Those leather toys are so expensive though! Yikes, But they do last the longest. But Now as Calypso is older, We are starting to go through toys faster, haha

Yeah I would agree with the others, Great answers guys! Calypso sometimes give playful but too hard of nips to me too, And when she does, Cuddle time is over...

Oh no Im so sorry you dont think it is working out! Maybe just give it some time....They are gorgeous!

Well, Im out too, Everyone has very strong opinions here, and I dont want anyone to be upset with me, And I didnt say anyone WAS currently, I just dont want it to get that way. And Emma's mama..."""""""We are all entitled to our own opinions, but it shouldn't be based on "incomplete" or misinformation either. JMHO"""" I agree with this...Its kinda like what I said, Here is what I said... """"""""So Again, We are all entitled to our own EDUCATED opinions, I say educated, cuz if you dont do research and you just say, Oh I think they did this or that wrong, Then thats stupid. But If you have done your research and come to your own conclusion...Then that should be OK. And no one should be looked down on for the way they feel. And I know all of us here HAVE done our research, Read the books, Watched the videos...ect, And so we all are allowed to feel whichever way we want and be unbyast. """""""""""""""""""""" So I agree with you very strongly here...It wouldnt be right to come to your own conclusion if you had incomplete information. I do think that most of us have done our research. But anyway, I am done stateting my opinions. I kind of feel like I shouldnt of in the first place. I am not one to be part of debates and it seems like this is what is has turned into. So bye guys! :)

Like I said I agree that he wasnt mistreated and that she did wonderful things in getting people to understand animals have cognitive ability. Or as you said dan and as she says in her book "the bird brain theory" I understand that if it wasnt for her, This wouldnt of happened, Or it still might have, just with someone else and thier Bird. BUT I will never treat my child like Alex was. I am saying this in respose to dan saying he was loved and treated as a child. I would never leave my child alone everynight, or leave it with other people for months on end. I wouldnt even do this with my animals. And as far as Dave saying What he didnt know wont hurt them, or however you worded it, That is true. And I understand that. And there was no harm done to Alex. I understand that too, And I also believe his death had no relation to how he was treated.But personally knowing what I know, I would feel guilty doing this to my animal, Parrot, Child, or Whatever. Because I know they would be happier with more stabilty in thier lives. Even though they are happy with the way they are being treated, And I am not saying Alex wasnt happy, he no doubt was. So Again, We are all entitled to our own EDUCATED opinions, I say educated, cuz if you dont do research and you just say, Oh I think they did this or that wrong, Then thats stupid. But If you have done your research and come to your own conclusion...Then that should be OK. And no one should be looked down on for the way they feel. And I know all of us here HAVE done our research, Read the books, Watched the videos...ect, And so we all are allowed to feel whichever way we want and be unbyast. So I hope none of you are mad at me or the others that feel this way.

I would think if the bird was out all day, and all he does is sleep in it, You wouldnt need to go bigger, Just as long as they can flap thier wings and stretch without hitting anything. Nice setup Elven! I love the Atom!

lol Thats too funny!!

Looks like a nice set up, I will post a pic of Calypso's digs

oooohhhhh Gotcha, Sorry for asking...I didnt mean anything by it. Just wondered

I have the read the book, twice...And I am not saying she is all bad...She has done wonderful things. And it was nice that he was never alone. BUT I bet he missed her when she was away. And I feel bad for him...Just like a 5 year old that gets left with a sitter or grandma or aunt, or whatever, They still miss thier main caregiver. BUT at least they were not left a lone or neglected. So it can really go 2 ways, It has its goods and not so goods. Just like everything in the world...And we all have our own views, and thats ok because thats what makes the worl go around. So I am not trying to sway anyone to think how I do or feel how I do, I am just sharing with everyone my thoughts on the matter. And I do understand what you are saying too dave, About the "wanting to go back" I guess that too is another way to look at it. I do have to say though eating your veggies and going to school was more important for you in your growing then sitting and answering questions over and over like alex...AND ONCE AGAIN, I kinda ride the fence on this one, Cuz she has done very good things, and I respect her a lot for what she has done and for spending so many years making uneduacated people that think animals are stupid rethink and be like "wow, I guess they are not so dumb after all" Nothing bothers me more than people that dont have respect for animals and thier ability to learn and understand, and that devalue there life just cuz they arnt human. So anyway...Thats how I feel I can say too, When I was 4 or 5, my mom and dad would video redord me ALL THE TIME, asking me to sing this song or that song, And I have watched them back as an adult, and I feel bad for little me, I just wanted to play, Not preform at the moment. BUT I dont think my parents were bad or anything, That was just a little unneccasary to do it a couple times a day. But I was well cared for a loved. So that can be kind of likened in a small way to having Alex preform all the time. When all he wants to do is play or be left alone at the moment. But he was well cared for and it benifitted the world in some ways. Me singing did not, lol But hopefully you know what I am trying to say, haha OK, So I'm done on my rant haha

Awesome stand and great pictures! That first pic is so awesome! Glad all is well with you guys!

Thanks again everyone for all your kind thoughts and for caring! And yeah when I am not home I do put the birds in the cages, Because I came home one day and discovered Calypso's poo all over the floor in the house, Which means she had been wandering around (she is clipped too) So I followed the poo trail to the wires for my sound system and found that the wire to one of the speakers had been chewed in half, I dont know how she managed not to become fried chicken, But that gave me a big scare so I just leave them out while I am home

Nice pictures
