Both mornings and evenins can be unbearable. I could handle the heat it's the humidity that makes it so uncomfortable. Also makes it hard for my husband to mow the yard. I'll have to see how it goes but would love to keep it up.

Took these over the weekend.

It was beautiful this weekend so I got the Chili Pepper out for a little while. It won't be long before the enclosure will come down for the summer as it is starting to get too hot to be out very long and it's only April

Good boy Marcus!!!

Too funny!!!

Yes they do! And they also know which person drinks their favorite drink and will harrass them by flying all over the house until you give them some.

OMG!!! Cracking up on #7!!! Too funny!

Thanks everyone!

Hi Aerial Sorry for the late response. The enclosure is actually a batting cage. It measures 10' high x 12' wide x 22' long. It has out amazingly well for us.

Hi Andy and welcome! I'm a transplant from New York now in Texas. This a wonderful group of people here. Enjoy your stay! Looking forward to pictures.

BEA U TI FUL!!! Love those greys!

That is a great, great picture. What a brave girl you have there!

thanks. We shall see. I know nothing about this person or his birds. I'll keep you guys posted

Interesting. This person is supposed to give me a call. We'll see. I need another bird like I need a hole in the head-lol

Hi everyone. Does anyone know if the Blue Fronted Amazon and the Blue Crowned Amazon are one of the same or are they different? Could the Blue Crowned be a subspecies of the Mealy?

Yes, ,Yes!!! I can feel a wing or a foot skim my heat too sometimes. I know he really wants to be on my shoulder and I'm pretty sure that's the reason for his fly-by's and probably some jealousy. Whever he lands on me I shake him off. He is a presistent little guy. I would not mind him sitting on me but I've heard some real horror stories so I don't let anyone sit on my shoulder.

Well I'm glad I'm not alone here. Im sure I mentioned in previous posts that all 3 are out all day and they seem to respect each others space. I think (I know) it's when I come into the picture that Chili acts the way he does. No one else does this and all 3 are flighted. So how did you teach thme what no fighting means? Thanks

That's a great idea will give that a try. Thank you.

Hello everyone, Chili will be 2 in May and he is fully flighted. I can see changes and I don't know if they are normal or the beginning signs of aggression. He's always liked to fly in and out if the bird room but lately when he flies back in the room and we're in the room he will fly very close and sometimes skim our heads. I think he is jealous when I interact with Maccardi or Slater as he will try his hardest to get my attention when I interact with them. Sometimes Maccardi will be sitting by himself minding his own business and Chili will swoop down skimming Maccardis head!!!!. If I am sweeping the room he flies after the the broom handle. If he is sitting next to me he tries to give me love bites which I'm afraid will turn into biting. When is displays any of these behaviors I'll put him in his cage. However, because he is fully flighted it is not always easy to get him to come to me because he knows now that I'm going to put him in his cage. I used to be able to show him his favorite treat and he fly to me but because he knows that I'm going to put him in his cage this tactic doesn't work all the time anymore. How do I handle him? Thanks

It was soooo beautifyl outside yesterday. Here are a couple of videos of the Bathing Beauty. He's my big brave boy. Maccardi was driving me crazy trying to get my attention or a bath not sure which. At one point you can see Chili Pepper fly over to the stand on the right. I am certain he wanted a bath too. He got his turn after Slater was finished. However, he is not as good as taking a bath as Slater is so we are working on him. Both Maccardi and Chili love to be sprayed. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RiM64RxIxxU&context=C3f88ff4ADOEgsToPDskIeup7An1DEruTNjuF88m_x

Welcome Christine. Can't wait to hear about and see pictures of your little Noodle:)

Awwww! I remember when my Slater was that young. Enjoy. Good times ahead!

Incredibly smart!!! Also sounds like you are whipped but so am I - lol

Slater will step up for his immediate flock (me, my husband and daughters) especially if we have something he wants. He's also been know to fly to someone he barly knows I guess cause he thinks he might like them. He definitely wants to be right smack in the middle of whatever we are doing and wants to be the center of attention and all eyes on him. He's a mischief maker so I need to keep a close eye on him.

Thank you TWIX. I try very hard to make sure that they are happy and well cared for and I am not alone for there are many here that share the same objective. I have learned so much over the years from the wonderful people here. I know that there are lots of other happy birdies on this forum:)
