Emma is a smart girl and knows just the right thing to say. Maybe you should try using vinegar to clean those surfaces now and avoid the scare. It sounds like you and she have an excellent relationship;) .

Jess is so right none of us leads a pain free or dirty laundry free life so do feel right at home we have your back! Talulah sounds like she is feeling good about the changes in her life so that is one less worry for you.

I don't think little Hawkins has nearly enough toys-lol He is a lovely baby bird, too cute. So enjoy every moment as he grows to become a part of your heart.

That name Phoenix carries a bit more meaning now, so perhaps she will return. A new start and a chance to renew your relationship with Talula. You will prosper and so will she they say pain and the experience that follows it makes us all stronger, I hope so. So glad you can hang out here with us crazy Grey types. all the very best on your changes and Miss Talula too.

Progress and you did listen to the vid. good work!

Maybe for a pair of Finches?

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, nuf said.:cheer:

Nice to know what you are dealing with and having a treatment method is a blessing. Good work trusting your gut instinct.

Dark leafy greens like Chard, Spinach and Kale are a great source of easily digested and metabolized calcium. Some cooked grains added to the diet like Quinoa and Millet can fill those needs nicely as well.

Posted by: JeffMasters, 12:49 PM GMT on April 01, 2010 Global warming has unthawed an entire race of warrior mermen and mermaids in the Arctic, scientists revealed today. At a packed press conference in Boulder, Colorado, Dr. Mark Xyzzy of the National Institute for Cryosphere Exploration and Tertiary Research on Yetis (NICETRY) revealed the details of the discovery: "We've been operating robot research submarines under the sea ice in the Chukchi Sea north of Barrow, Alaska this winter, as part of International Geophysical Year studies on the dynamics of arctic sea ice loss," commented Dr. Xyzzy. "Last week, one of our submersibles caught a remarkable video of a warrior mermaid, armed with a trident, riding past the submarine on the back of a narwhal. We were able to track the mermaid to her home--an underwater merfolk city at the bottom of the Chukchi Sea. The city had been thawed out in 2005 by warm water currents invading the Arctic due to global warming. These mermaids and mermen had been frozen into the underwater permafrost since the onset of the last ice age, 115,000 years ago. We undertook immediate efforts to establish communications with the merfolk, by sending in divers with underwater writing boards who were able to work out a simple symbol-based language. We learned that the Chukchi Sea merfolk are at war with a tribe of rival merfolk in the Greenland Sea. The two tribes have been fighting a heated underwater battle for dominance of the Arctic Ocean ever since global warming thawed out both tribes in 2005. It is the explosions from their undersea battles that have been the dominant cause of arctic sea ice loss since 2005, not global warming, as had been previously assumed. A team of experienced United Nations negotiators is now in the Arctic, attempting to broker a truce between the rivals and save the arctic sea ice from further destruction." Figure 1. Merfolk negotiator Urgok Nzgradborkan and an exhausted U.N. diplomat take a break after a grueling all-night round of peace talks. Critics of climate change science immediately pounced upon the news to unleash a new barrage of criticism against the National Intergovernmental and Territorial Panel to Investigate Climate Change (NITPICC). "The computer climate models used by the NITPICC utterly failed to anticipate the record loss of arctic sea ice due to underwater explosions from merfolk battles," commented spokesman Markoff Chaney of the Very Competitive Free Enterprise Institute. The Institute maintains of staff of top-notch scientists who swear that their funding from the fossil fuel industry does not affect the objectivity of their science. "This new "mermaid-gate" scandal proves that we can't trust climate models to say diddly-squat that's right about global warming, nah-nah-na-nah-nah!" taunted Chaney. The head of NITPICC, Dr. R. J. Donteventrytopronouncemylastname, conceded that his organization had some work to do. "We're working very hard to incorporate the effect of underwater explosions from merfolk sea battles into the NITPICC models," said Dr. Donteventrytopronouncemylastname. "We've also begun to explore the impacts on sea ice should other denizens of the Arctic unthaw. For instance, the possibility exists that plesiosaurs from the time of the dinosaurs may be frozen in the underwater arctic permafrost. Should global warming thaw out these great leviathans of the deep, the turbulence from their swimming motions could cause significant cracking and breakup of the sea ice. We now have a new plesiosaur parameterization module built into our top models to account for this possibility." Dr. Xyzzy of NICETRY commented, "I applaud NITPICC's efforts to incorporate their Underwater Merfolk Battle Module and Plesiosaur Parameterization Module into the climate models. However, I caution that they might also need to build modules to simulate the effects of astrology, thermography, ice-nine, and the warming effect of hot air coming out of Washington politicians, before critics of the NITPICC models will be satisfied." April Fools!

The right bird will come along sooner than you may think. You just never know what tomorrow will bring.>:>

I do love the Senegals, at the Sanctuary where I volunteer we have an aviary with three of the different types of Senegal. That is my favorite cage to work in as they have to help with everything and are totally fearless. They will be in the trash bucket, between my feet, on the rake while I am raking and crawling over me as I work. One will happily head bob and talk to me as she helps me cleaning the cage.

Beautiful breakfast! No wonder you have such a handsome flock. This page has a photo of breakfast at our house for 2-Too's and 2-Greys, the Tiels and bugies get the rements in the bowl. http://s201.photobucket.com/albums/aa264/Firefly_mom/<br><br>Post edited by: Greywings, at: 2010/04/01 15:01

I guess it does matter what the neighbors think-lol

She does look as if she means business!

My view is hmm if you plant a pellet what happens? Ok to use as a supplement but not real food. I realize I am most likely in the minority but that is ok with me.

WONDERFUL OUTCOME-all the best for this little guy now. love, good food and excellent care, how lovely.

Perhaps avoid the stand for a while? Use a big fluffy comforter to pad the landing if you feel you must use it. I would suggest one of those rope hammocks that hang from the ceiling, it gives them more room to play and climb more surfaces to hang and swing. I think it helps them build confidence. She sounds a bit like she is regressing to her babyhood and needs some confidence building either through more interactive training or more safe things to do to express her self and feed her needs.

You can soak those pellets in an unsweetned juice or coconut milk prior to making your birdy bread the add your eggs and other ingredients.

Some cooked grains such as quinoa and millet will also boot the calcium intake along with those dark leafy greens.

Real sunlight unfiltered by windows is the best. Fresh dark leafy greens and some cooked grains like Quinoa or Millet will bring that calcium level up quickly and be better absorbed that those tablets or cuttle bone.

I have had that feeling many times but right now I am drawing a blank...duh got to go home and have Pookie give me back my words.

Spock is a fighter and I am so glad he is. Good work keeping up the feedings and treatments, we will keep up the healing thoughts and prayers.

They do have that ability to deconstruct anything with in reach and entertain both themselves and us at the same time. I can just picture the scene. My foster Grey does the same thing with newspaper in his cage.

Newspapers in many layers peel and remove the soiled part as the day goes on. I will check into the painters paper too.
