Greywings

Your birds feathers look a bit rough as well, perhaps a bit more fatty acids in the diet and more spray misting with water or baths would be beneficial to feathers and beak.

In agreement with murfchck papers can be faked so what is the point. A good personality match with you and the GG is more important. If she indeed refused other potential homes so much the better.

Ours play musical chairs with their cages, never know who will settle in which cage in the evenings. You cage sounds just right to me kpflynn the biggest cage you can fit into your home should be just right!

Good question, no they are not recommended for any birds as the ozone they produce can be harmful to the sensitive respiratory system of birds. Rabbit aire is a good one to use and several folks on here can recommend other safe ones.

Early Easter egg.

Cocoa was very special to us all, we appreciate your sharing her stories, pictures and all your lovely journeys to beautiful places with her and with us all over the world.

Sharing your sorrow, glad she got to leave quietly and with out fear. My daughters dog also a Zoe, facing some terminal illness as well up days and scary days interspersed. Hugs for you and yours.

Those are adorable, bird seek & search toys or little wooden gift boxes for jewelery or stuff, cute!

How is that stinky bird doing now?

Well I think she has gotten her Masters certification in paper shredding and is moving on the gender designation and plans to run the household her way, yes all very positive!

So many changes for them in a relatively short span of time. It is also a hormonal time of year for many parrots and they may add one more stress to their mixed up world right now. As has been mentioned by Brat birds having some neutral space for them may prevent the territorial dispute and give you a better idea of how they interact. I would suggest having a few theing for them to do, paper to shred or some foot toys or even a couple of Almonds or treats available for them to investigate in that neutral zone.

Positive progress continues even when the humans are such slow learners.

This Egg Is So Rare That When It Was Crushed, An Entire Team Leapt Into Action. You’ll See Why. March 10, 2014 Stories Have you ever heard of a Kakapo? I wouldn’t be surprised if you haven’t. These incredibly rare parrots live in New Zealand. They are large, scholarly-looking birds that you’d just want to cuddle (if they weren’t a wild animal with really, really sharp claws). Their numbers are rapidly dwindling, they are officially a “critically endangered” species. Researchers can count (and list by name) the number of Kakapos left on earth. That’s why when one chick was in danger, an entire group of rescuers leapt into action. This little gentleman is a Kakapo, also known as the owl parrot. Flickr Kakapos are large, flightless, nocturnal, ground dwelling parrots. And they are on the brink of extinction. There are approximately only 125 individuals alive today. Flickr / whatscapes So when Lisa, the momma bird, accidentally crushed her egg it was vital for her keepers to attempt to save it. Facebook The keepers used a gentle adhesive to hold the egg together, hoping that the membrane inside and the baby Kakapo weren’t damaged. Facebook All they could do was pray and wait. Facebook Then, a miracle! The little Kakapo broke through the shell on February 28th, 2014. Facebook This chick is the first Kakapo hatched in 2014. Facebook Smile for the camera! Facebook The little chick is growing and staying strong. Hopefully, this is just one chick on the road to helping the Kakapo recover. Facebook Kakapos are unique, wonderful birds of New Zealand. Kakapo Recovery is an organization dedicated to saving the critically endangered animal. They work closely with the Kakapo population of Codfish Island in New Zealand to help boost their numbers. This was dramatically illustrated by the phenomenal breeding event of 2002, when 24 chicks were added to the kakapo population in a matter of months and again in 2009 when 33 chicks hatched. Two kakapo staff work on Whenua Hou, and have to put up with an isolated location and the wild weather of New Zealand’s deep south. It has no roads and is reached by light plane or helicopter. The island is a specially-protected nature reserve, and no unauthorised landing is permitted. If you’d like to help the Kakapo, please visit the Kapapo Recovery’s website and donate to their cause.

Panamas are my very favorite Amazon, sweet birds that have a sense of humor.

Hormones can be disruptive, perhaps a change in the types of fresh food available as well.

Good on you Cole, glad to see you are making her life safer!

Wishing you both more wonderful days, sending all the positives I can.

Deer, Bear & bare that still leaves us with some odd visuals. I would be more wary of the wild hogs that the deer, either way that ground is hard when you land.

I was also going to mention that the cage is much to small for a Grey so not a surprise he was getting wings caught and then panicking. I can tell you want your bird to be happy and safe, that is very good so a cage as large as you can manage would be a great investment in your birds health & happiness. They need to have enough room to open their wings all the way and flap with out hitting the cage sides. Side to side room and depth front to back are more important than the height up and down, this will be your birds home where he or she should feel safe.

That was fun, we whisper here as well.

Lovely girl and it sounds like you have made space in your lives, home and hearts.

Nice they look great! You have a fortunate bird.

Funny how a negative experience brought out the positive nurturing side of Gracie, stress can be a path to improvement. They are able to read us so much better than we can read them.

Two Too's & four greys here, they are each one unique but the Too's are very different then the Grey's it seems one of our Greys is a very sneaky biter the kind that lures you in for quick "ouch" session. Another Grey spares my middle son but the rest of us are fair game, another one never bites me but others are subject to pinching (not a real biter) last grey the Timneh would rather bite other birds, dogs and cats but fly away from people he wishes to avoid. The Timneh has my youngest son as his chosen one. The Too's Elanora not really an aggressive guy but the Umbie Too is willing to play with humans or bite them as required (only he knows the requirements) but will go after all other birds in the house.
