  1. Were so sorry, if we may suggest,use something other than a perch/stick, use something you'll never use again except when he is like this, [rolled newspaper,trimmed flyswatter,etc] We don't want him to get paranoid over a perch. Your strength and love will prevail.....:) Jay and Maggie

  2. ;) It doesn't seem that long,boy, has he changed...Some very interesting things are happening now, he's "pinning", he'll look at you or some object, and pin..He also perches on my finger and wants to be 4 to 5" from my face, and wants me to talk. His eyes will vary in size he'll cock his head and make a small sound after I say something. Is this "learning"? is this normal? He still doesn't talk [makes great sounds and whistles. He is eating more and a better variety of foods offered...He also appears to contemplate or meditate more and for longer periods.:) :)

  4. :) Bless you all, we love birds...We live in a bird house, cages here there and everywhere.(none in bath room) The birds are arranged by type, tiel are by themselves. If you don't like birds, don't visit us..:P

    We let the flier free in the daytime, they socialize with each others, It's extremely hard for us to give up any of them, and yes, we fall for the runt. It's really hard to not bond with them, we return them to when their on 1 feeding a day and eating better than good, and taking baths etc...They weight as of today:

    875-to950 grams......:ohmy:

  5. :)It 's so hard, we love each one of them no matter what kind of bird they are. We hand feed using a syringe or spoon, no tube and we hold each baby when we feed them...Just in the last few months a: Hawk-head, 4 CAG's, 5 Macaws, 4 Amazons, 3 Half moons, 4 Senegal's, Major Mitchel, Umbrella Too, 2 Green cheeks,2 Sun's, and ,8 tiel's. We love each one and worry about each one. We do this because we want to not for pay, and we would keep all if we could...:) :)

  6. :) The babies are, a Harlequin, a Ruby and a Scarlet, I believe the hybrids to be generally larger birds, due to genetics an from what I've seen...Under favorite foods, Toy's are # 1.:P At 15 days old they weighed 62 grams, and now they perch on your arm instead of a finger:woohoo:
  7. B) Hi, Spock here...I am 7 months old now and I still can't talk!! I can fly...I can squawk and make noises ...I can give kisses...my slaves put a banana and a sweet potato on the table and when they ask me to choose the banana or the potato, I can pick them right every time...Jim talks and picks up a new word and sentence every day and the bird they call Chloe, (my slaves say she is a Half-Moon Parrot) NEVER shuts up...she talks all day (and night) but I can't say anything!!!! Jim calls me Spock as clear as can be and I tried the Vulcan Mind Meld and Jim says talk out loud. I've never been hit by a phaser...maybe it was those spores....Or maybe not...My slaves tell me to be patient but it is so hard. I sit for a long time on their fingers while they talk to me and I watch their mouth but all that comes out of my mouth is AAAWWWKK. Salsa doesn't talk but she just an Amazon (and she won't even preen me when I walk up to her really nice and put my head down for her. She just says "mew, mew, mew" at me and walks away) Well, I can do acrobatic tricks that the others can't do so there...not logical.

    Live Long and Prosper!!!<br><br>Post edited by: Jayd, at: 2009/08/30 20:51

  8. B)The question is, Is your Grey a top or ground feeder?, and if you have more than one Grey, do they feed opposite of each other or the same? Spock, is a ground feeder, he likes his food and water bowls on the bottom of the cage, ceramic only...Jim on the hand like's his bowl's high on the side of the cage, nothing on the ground...As a side note: Spocks likes his sleeping perch just above the ground and Jim likes his high in the cage...!!! Interesting H mm...:)<br><br>Post edited by: Jayd, at: 2009/08/30 00:31
