Hi Joy, If your hen is laying a lot of eggs, please make sure she gets xtra calcium.. The best way to treat a egg layer is to keep the daylight hr's under 12 a day, don't mist as often, very little "soft food" and nothing that looks like a nest...Let her sit the eggs for 30 days, when she loses interest, remove them...A good 'Tiel site is http://www.cockatielcottage.net/ Jay<br><br>Post edited by: Jayd, at: 2010/02/22 22:53

Welcome to the Grey Forum and the Amazon room.. Whats his name, please lets see some pictures...It's my opinion that I would cage him for safety reasons. It might take a while to get him used to a cage, you could also just get him a "Sleeping cage" for bed time, you could use a carrier to help train him. My suggestion,[we have CAGs and Zons] Your CAG is prime bird[flock leader?]so make sure your attention is directed toward your CAG, so he doesn't feel put out, take your time. Example: Greet your CAG 1st and when leaving, make sure he is the last one you talk to.... Karma Jay Note: Maybe you should post the CAG question in the Grey Lounge also... This site has some good info on your parrot... http://www.avianweb.com/bluefrontedamazon.html<br><br>Post edited by: Jayd, at: 2010/02/22 04:59

This week's beauty is a 'Critically Endangered' Puerto Rican Amazon, Amazona vittata. The Puerto Rican Amazon also known as the Puerto Rican Parrot or Iguaca is indigenous to Puerto Rico. It measures 28–30 cm (11–12 in), and is predominantly green with a red forehead and white rings around the eyes. Its closest relatives are believed to be the Cuban Amazon (Amazona leucocephala) and the Hispaniolan Amazon (Amazona ventralis). The Puerto Rican Amazon reaches sexual maturity between three and four years of age. It reproduces once a year and is a cavity nester. Once the female lays eggs she will remain in the nest and continuously incubate them until hatching. The chicks are fed by both parents and will fledge 60 to 65 days after hatching. This parrot's diet is varied and consists of flowers, fruits, leaves, bark and nectar obtained from the forest canopy. The Puerto Rican Amazon is the only remaining native parrot in the country. Once widespread, the species has completely disappeared from Vieques and Mona Island, nearby to the main island of Puerto Rico. Conservation efforts began in 1968 and there is now only 34 to 40 individuals in the wild and 143 individuals in captivity. http://www.avianweb.com/puertoricanamazon.html http://www.parrots.org/index.php/encyclopedia/wildstatus/puerto_rican_amazon/ Jay Post edited by: Jayd, at: 2010/02/21 02:32<br><br>Post edited by: Jayd, at: 2010/02/21 02:33

Jay has bad sinuses and he has to clear his throat in the mornings. Tango has started to imitate Jay...she clears her throat and bobs her head up and down while doing it...:ohmy: The first time she did it, I got up to check and make sure she was okay. Then, she did it again after Jay did and we figured it out...Oh boy!!:laugh: Whenever she wants to get scritched, she leans her head down and calls out "PAPA..." and waits for Jay to scritch her...too cute... Maggie

Salsa only says "Step up" but she has just started whistling tunes. She makes up her own songs and music and we don't know where she is getting these tunes from. This is human whistling, not bird whistles. It's really good...we can't make out the songs yet and she really enjoys herself while she is "singing".:laugh: Jay

For example; greetings, acknowledgments, attention grabbers, embarrassing things:evil: they do that you have not intentionally teach them to do.
