Amazing birds, it must have given you quite a fright finding one of these at your door LOL. Hope the fish went on to swim a few more laps of your pond Dan

If it is veg-tanned and sold in pet shops then one has to assume it's safe for pets.

Hope Dixie had a great hatchday. Understandable you didn't post put I'm sure Dixie was spoilt at some stage

I agree with the others, it seems a good all-round solution.

I love robins, they are cheeky little chappies and you seem to have made a friend in this one Lyn, the others may well follow and you may have more than you bargained for. Thanks for sharing this video, it shows what you can do with patience.

It took about 20 mins Lyn. The first half was the most difficult to get to rhyme and I had to constantly change the first 4 lines, the rest flowed pretty much LOL.

You are all too kind :blush:

Looking forward to seeing pictures of Kopi, I'm sure he will go a long way to helping you heal Dee. Of course he isn't meant to replace Juno - he is his own little guy. You need and deserve each other.

His feathers look in a little better condition in these pictures than the last ones Jay, the first pic looks quite good all things considered. Here's hoping this new diet helps Spock Jay, poor little fella is always in my thoughts.

Happy hatchday for tomorrow Emma, hope your mam spoils you rotton with lots of fun and treats.

You could hang dangly things from it and use it as a puppet :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Sounds like a mad house Jay - but a fun house ;-)

Hi, personally I gon't think greys and children are a good mix nor do I think they should be given to children as pets, they are adult's birds. One of the reasons for this is that greys are nervous/skittish birds by nature and young childern have quick, jerky movements. My advice would be to never mix the two as a grey could give your daughter a nasty bite. My son is 12 and although considerably older than your daughter I'd say my grey is nervous of him.

It's almost a year when I first surfed the net to find some advice on my new feathered pet. I was still awaiting to bring him home, still in the shop and I was alone. I couldn't rest, I couldn't sleep until dear Beau was mine to keep. I recall counting days until he was here, advice was needed to which I'd adhere. You were there with advice at the ready, on your pcs laptops, always rock steady. You knew the answers to my every request, sensible, articulate - the very best. Janet & Judy t'other side of the pond to you I've grown particulary fond. Lyn, Jill, Jay, Dan, Maggie and kim oh and Dave007 too - advice on a whim. Penny, Pat, Sheila, Caroline the latter less often but doing just fine. Please forgive me for those I have missed too many FART meetings I must be p***ed. Alas I'm coming to the end of this tribute I must feed the fids, give them their fruit ;-) Just wanted to say you've become good friends and my thanks to you I wanted to send. Now I have two, healthy fids I adore a little more knowledgeable, I know the score. Give them the best that you can afford and they will love you of their own accord. Lots of love and out-of-cage time treats en mass and they will be fine. Yes folks it's almost a year now!

That's amazing Lyn. Joy is reading of members of this forum who appear to devote their lives to caring for pre-owned and neglected parrots, people such as Jay and Pat.

Ha! Do not be fooled by the cute fluffy exterior, inside lurks the :evil: himself. :laugh:

I missed this the first time too. Lovely poem and all true. B)

I think members do give cooked chicken bones to their greys, I have tried it with Beau and like most new things he was afraid of it LOL but he went straight for the chicken, it seems it was just the bone he didn't like.

mmmm looks yummy

That's a great toy. We will all be waiting in anticipation to see if Pepper is the pink or blue variety

Not sure what's going on here, first a double post and now this has gone in the training room instead of the photography room :whistle: :huh:

..oops dropped a bit! mmm yummy come near this and you will pay, mmmmm Post edited by: Joolesgreyuk, at: 2010/03/05 20:44<br><br>Post edited by: Joolesgreyuk, at: 2010/03/05 20:49

Lovely picture of Harvey, he's one good-looking grey.

Ah I have the same dilema, I am going to be using varnish in the birdy room in the next few weeks and am wondering the same things. I guess I will have to move the birds upstairs for 24 hrs and they will have to stay in their cages but how long after it's dry can I allow them back down here?
