Codys Mom

I think I will go with the aloe vera juice I have some of that , I never really noticed Rockys feathers being dull at least not here at home so I think it's their lighting he is back to his usual self now

when I look at Cody I see a little toddler that wants to be with you no matter what room you are in and he will fly to find you when I look at Rocky I see a beautiful awsome parrot that enjoys being with you every moment of the day , I don't see the devil in any of my parrots I see beautiful creatures with there own personalities who depend on me and my hubby for companionship and their needs

we first started at the bird store to get Rocky a nail trim he loves going to the bird store and saying Hi and Hello to everyone then I had to stop at the bank on the way home so I took him inside with me and they just loved him he got tons of attention and we were there for maybe an hour they got him to say Helo and that was it lol but they told me to bring back anytime , he even got a salt free almond to munch on from the bank mamnager lol she just adored him I picked up some Feather and Shine shampoo at the bird store because I noticed his feathers did look a little dull in the store but maybe it was their lighting not sure anyways according to the directions you use 6 Tablespoons for gallon of water and since we did this in the bathtub I wasn't sure how much to put in so I used 3 Tablespoons in his water but Ia'm not sure this was a goodm idea he got soaking wet then I had to give him a regular shower to rinse it off he seemed a little stressed after this and he did not make a sound which isn't normal for Rocky until I got the vacum cleaner out around 7pm to vacum then he was back to normal my question is should I use this on him or my other birds again? or is this a bad idea? not sure which way to go on this ,any advice will help

thats a good one lol ty ty Dan

Happy Hatchday Josey

awww what a sweetie

I found one tonight at walmart and it was 8.97 it's made by ACURITE I'am testing now so if it isn't right I can always take it back gonna give it a few days to make sure

ty I signed it

well tonight I made him a seperate dish of sweet potatoes , apples , kale and raw carrots to see if he would eat this better and he did he loves sweet potatoes and apples the best so I guess I will just add more sweet potatoes , kale and apples to my mixes just for my Rocky boy

thanks Dan that one looks better then the one I was going to order I will probably order it next week , I usually start up the humidifier in December and run it tthrough the end of march , Michigan gets really dry in the winter but it's really humid here in the spring and summer time

Congradssssssssssssss

I have a grey and a yellow crown amazon , I have always heard that a yellow crown is a little more clamer then the rest of the amazons but I sure don't see it lol Rocky is all boy lol he loves to climb and chew wood lots of wood and he is vocal 90%of the time and loves his showers Cody our grey is a little more laid back but he does make some noise lol he started talking or at least I though he was going to talk then he quit on me he will say a few words when he wants and he does sound like Rocky some times , Rocky pics up new words very quickly and talks every day so it looks like our amazon is going to out talk our grey , they are both great birds but each have their own personality to me I think amazons are more outgoing and act like little clowns

Rocky just pics at his veggies he eats very little of them , I have been fixing the Higgins Wordly Cuisine and mixing in some green peppers, carrots, cucumbers , sweet potaoes and yellow squash kale and apple he may eat just a small amount and then thats he is done , he eats his pellets real good so I guess as long as he is eating his pellets ,I'am going to make a special bowl of just his favorites next time such foods as sweet potaoes, apple , cucumber , kale and carrots thoose seem to be the only veggies he likes and as far as fruits go he loves apples , blackberries and pomagranites anyone else have any ideas or any good receipes that their amazons like ? I also added some cinnamin to his food tonight because he loves the cinnamin sticks you get the higgins and goldenfeast mixes

it's almost time to get out the Humidifier so I want topurchase a hygrometer I need everyones opinion on this one I found at walmart and I forget is it 40 or 45 percent when you start running the humoidifier? so whats everyones opinion on this one sure can't beat the price and I think it's solar so no batteries needed http://www.walmart.com/ip/Sunbeam-SHG50PDQ-U-Hygrometer/15135864#Specifications

Rocky and Cody get along from a distance lol like a good 12 inches anything closer they will go after each other ,Opey our quaker gets along with all the birds , Opey is just a easy going little birdy and Miss Peanut thinks she rules around here she can't even be close to any bird she will definitly go after any bird in sight Rocky is a Yellow Crowned Amazon

awww what sweet babies

lol thats cute Rocky is picking up alot of words but I can't think of anything special he says yet

Happy Hatch Day Quinn

my grey Cody is a great bird but he is very independant and only wants cuddles on his time lol some days he is very sweet and other days he can be very bitey , he turned a year old July 7th so he is still young and would I get another grey probably not , we have added a Amazon to our flock and I would definitly get another amazon before I would get another grey , I love my Cody but I love Rocky our amazons personality and temperment much better

corn cob bedding is very bad for birds it carrys bacteria big time you would be better off going with news paper or cage liners for the health of your bird ,just a little warning and if the bird ever eats it you could have serious problems their

o lol well Rockys wings are clipped and I think for his safety and the fact that he does not get along with Cody for now they will stay clipped and I have to watch Cody because he is fully flighted so maybe later they will get along once they really get use to each other then I will let Rockys feathers grow out

ty Ray the only thing new with Rocky is he has decided when he is bored of hanging on top of his cage and playing on the playstand he will climb down from the cage or jump off the playstand and just wander down the hallway not going into any of the rooms just wandering around lol then mom (me) comes to get him and he hangs out with me

I love the personality and the smell of a zon that was the main reason I wanted a zon so after looking at some cute babies I took hubby with me to the breeders and I think we both fell head over hells in love with our Rocky and yes I would definitly do it again , Rocky is so smart and funny I just totally adore him

I paid $600.00 for Cody the breeder was asking $850.00 but since he has a disability and I think she felt somewhat bad about it she let us have him for $600.00 plus she seen how much in love we was with him even with his disabilty , we just loved him from the start and he is still our spoiled little grey
