This is a lovely design Dee, I like it more than the blue one - more colourful.

Keep the faith Spock, we love you. Live long & prosper ;-)

Hi fellow fids, Beau here. (human)mum has been out most of today doing cutting & styling of humans' feathers (why do humans do this to their feathers?)so she was late in but she filled my toy with lots of yummy treats before she left this morning so I've been quite content, actually I listen to that thing they call a "radio" I love repeating the lunch-time noise the radio makes, such fun. Argyle's been quiet today, probably planning a sustained beak-attack on the humans ;-) Anyway, just wanted to let you know I'm looking forward to my long-weekend break at the end of May, Argyle has to go to the human grandparents' hahahahahaa but I get to go with mum & dad (well they said there isn't room enough in the car for us both) anyway, mum has had a dreadful time trying to get me a safe travel cage but she says she finally found me a powder-coated one, says they are like rocking horse s**t they are so scarse in the UK. Mum says I have a beak like a pnumatic drill and can't be trusted with anything less than powder-coated cages - dunno what she means by that but it didn't sound like a compliment! I've had fun tonight, mum has this huge houseplant in Argyle's room and it looks soooo yummy, every time I go near it mum panicks, such fun giving her the runaround ha she needs to lose some weight after the chocolate fest she had yesterday - didn't let me within a mile of 'em. Oh well gotta go, munchin' on a malted milk, some things are more important than chit-chat!

Great-looking stand Jill, java is a really nice wood, full of unusual twists & turns, I wouldn't even want to guess the cost of this, Beau's pine stand was expensive enough! I remember thinking it seemed huge when it first arrived and that it would dominate the room but you kind of get used to it.

Did you get her recently? Is there a story to it? Do tell, we're a nosy lot on here ;-)

Hello Cheryl, do you have a rescue to tell us about?

Hi fellow fids, don't listen to that grey thing, he may be bigger than me but he's a dreadful scaredy bird, I may be small but all good things come in small packages even if it is poison ;-) That flippin' grey thing they call Beau (stupid name) tries to lord it over me pah! in his dreams! Talking of names, what's with the name "Argyle"? Just because I happen to be green they think they can name me after 11 idiots (who wear green) running around a field (who btw can't even put a ball in a net!) anyway just thought I'd introduce myself. Bye for now. XX

Thanks everyone for the kind words and Jill don't you worry about Steve I got him some chocolate ;-)

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: What an inspired thread, excellent idea. Right then over to Beau: Ello Bella & Harvey, those flippin' 'umans have been exchanging card thingies this morning oh and some yummy looking stuff they won't let me near but you just wait 'till later :evil: when their backs are turned I will swoop, I have to be quick or that green thing will beat me to it. He has been getting extra attention lately and well frankly it's not on, I am the biggest, bravest of all and this is my territory. He tries flying on my home when he is let out so I have to be brave and attack him. Well I will update you tomorrow but right now I have some of those yummy palm nuts to get through. Laters xx

If that's your first attempt you've done very well, I like the additions of the pine cones - excellent!

Keeko is a fine-looking grey Caroline, wishing him a happy hatchday tomorrow. Any plans to spoil him - more than usual that is? LOL

Oh I just found it, must've missed that, just though it a nice name - and unusual.

Well I guess there's more than one way to skin a cat LOL, you got Spock to bathe by hook or by crook. Spock looks like a much younger grey with no tail and wet feathers. Who was that saying "water" and "hello" in the background? Funny how the fids pick up the accents as well as the words heehee.

Salsa is very beautiful. Is there a story behind the name "Salsa" Maggie?

Lovely pictures, adorable fids.

Love it. I don't know why but they always seem to look more beautiful in the wild.

Yes I did and I wrote it to make you think that LOL

Oh I'm really sorry to hear that Jay, I love Spock like he was one of my own and it hurts to think of him being sick. I hope your vet has a few ideas for you to try to make Spoke well again. Sending beaky hugs and kisses from the UK XXXXXX

Today on the eve of St Valentine I had to go look for a gift I had no idea what I was seeking a nightmare, you get the drift. A supermarket, gift shop, men's clothing, musical and department store, I tried them all but to no avail you've been there you know the score. A special something for the man in my life it had to be chosen just right, couldn't wait to see the expression when presenting said gift tomorrow night. Then reward from trawling the shops, a gift to make him sweet! It's not exactly to make him smell nice more an expensive treat for his feet. I didn't expect an ovation, a cuddle or even a kiss but it seems the gift I had chosen has become a bit of a miss. when put in it's rightful place my valentine had taken fright, his brand new java perch scared him and caused him take off in flight! Yes you guessed it, I got Beau a new java perch today LOL

Your baby is absolutely adorable, I can almost feel the softness of her downy feathers as I look at these pictures. I can also imagine the joy you get from feeding and bathing her. Lovely pictures, thanks for sharing them.

Thanks for the advice Dave, it has been a good day but I'm expecting the odd setback.

:laugh: LOL Janet has it in one! Great picture of Ecko with his bone. BTW Caitlyn, it's great to have you back on this forum regularly again.

Ok well I'm obviously boring the pants off everyone because I've had no replies to this request, however it just felt like the right time to take the next step today so I went ahead and opened Argyle's door, I'm not going to further bore everyone so I'll just say that we have moved forward today and have made good progress.

{Feel-bad-0002006A} This is so sad that it brought tears to my eyes, sadly it is so often true.

:laugh: LOL brilliant story, full marks for you clever Spock!
