  1. Salmonella infection Definition - Diseases and Conditions - Mayo ... http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases.../salmonella/.../con-2002901...‎Mayo Clinic Salmonella infection — Comprehensive overview covers signs, symptoms, diagnosis and treatment of this bacterial disease. Coconut water would have more electrolytes and nutrition than the rice water does. Prayers for your Grey.
  2. She needs at least one hour of unfiltered Sunlight every week -you can give that in 15 or 20 minute intervals, it is important for her health especially skin and feathers.
  3. That feather looks like she may have pulled it out as there is a little dried blood at the base, you would not see that on a molted feather. Is her cage large enough for her to spread her wings? I ask that as the feather shows some damage along the length, that can be caused by rubbing on cage bars or her over grooming. How much natural Sunlight does she get a week? You can give her baths or mistings in plain water or if you can get it there, some Aloe Vera juice, not the gel.
  4. Have to warn hubby when I plan on leaving the flocks line of sight so he can prepare for the surge in sound levels.
  5. Never hurts to remind us all to plan ahead and sad for the loss of your friend. I am looking forward to seeing pictures and hearing how Cyprus fits into your life.
  6. Another Texan here just outside of Houston, glad you found us. Your grey is settling in nicely and you will hear more vocalizations from him as the days roll on but not like a Conure at all. Conures are all kind of big bird attitude and bluster where a Grey often takes a more observational approach to life. "I think they are here to study us and report back to the Mother ship".
  7. Welcome and appreciate your taking on this naked Grey guy. Would love to hear his story and find out more so we know better how we can share some ideas of how to help him.
  8. Regards having Elmo in the work shop, do be very aware of ventilation as it does not take much to damage or kill a bird with inhalant chemicals such as dispersed when welding and grinding old paint and rust off metal. Caution is the rule avoiding exposure even better.
  9. They tend to learn and repeat what ever appeals to them so each bird may select their own set of sounds. Our Greys all have words, sounds, whistles and song in their vocabularies. Each bird seems to have their own strengths and preferences. Pookie talks and sings mostly, Smokey Joe has the largest word collections but also whistles and makes some great sounds. Whisper my love bug her preference is sounds =wild birds Sparrows, Blue Jays, coffee pouring, pop tops and whistles but she does use a few words and Smarty Pants little Timneh is our whistle expert but also talks and makes human sounds-sneezes, coughs, clears throat and other less polite sounds. I think the more emotion is sounded in your words the more likely you may hear them repeat them.
  10. It isn't work if you are doing what you love. Good on you and follow your heart.
  11. You have my support also, great set up you have there. What ever decision Brooke makes I am sure re-homing her grey is no easy decision for her. Life happens and few of us can see clearly down stream in time to plan ahead for what lies ahead of us. Health, income, moving overseas, allergies in new partners, bird is unhappy, disasters such as fire, earthquake or serious injury are not easily foreseen. We all do the best we can and it is not right to make a judement with out walking in that persons shoes for a few miles. Just my opinion and I tell my hubby I am always right.
  12. She has been on a long journey and is nearing her potential for happiness now. She seems to be taking you all along for her ride of a lifetime overcoming fears, obstacles and travels with some trepidation and a step back when needed but always moving steadily forward. The Swamp queen will prevail, all hail Gil girl.
  13. M62 learner driver 'accompanied only by parrot' The speeding driver was found to be accompanied only by her parrot, police said A motorist stopped for speeding on the M62 in West Yorkshire was a learner driver accompanied only by her pet parrot, police have revealed. The female 4x4 driver was pulled over by officers near junction 22 of the M62 at about 08:45 GMT on Sunday. Provisional drivers are only allowed to drive if accompanied by a qualified motorist and are banned from motorways. "Since parrots are not allowed to supervise learner drivers, her vehicle has been seized," police tweeted. The driver will also be dealt with later for motoring offences including speeding, West Yorkshire Police's Road Policing Unit said. Ch Insp Mark Bownass said: "The rules of the road exist for a very good reason and it is important to remember that if this lady had been in a crash or incident, she would not have been covered by insurance as she was not licensed for the journey."
  14. I use vinegar or Hydrogen Peroxide both work and both leave a nontoxic residue that can be rinsed off easly if you wish. I don't dilute either one just apply to stubborn dried on droppings wait a few minutes then wipe off. Works great on my tile floors as well.
  15. Agree on the Do do bird, looks like you have a tasty camera.
  16. Ah ha she has found yet another use for you, she may keep you after all.
  17. The Panama Amazons seem to have a more laid back personality, less aggressive but still a fun companion and talker. At least that is what I can tell you from my experience.
  18. Major Mitchells for their beauty and independence, Rose Breasted for the soft cuddles, Palm cockatoos for the gentle bell like tones rather than the Too screams, Pionus for the quiet play and Caiques for the fun and exuberent gymnastics, I could go on. Have met Hawk heads-just beautiful but kind of unstable personalities, love the Alexandrines, Peacocks, Pheasants horses, Chickens and the rest of the Ark.
  19. Owls a so good at what they do, I have worked with them when I was a Zookeeper and have done some Owl rescue as well. Sublime predators and you and Rocky are fortunate indeed, such quiet wings and unerring focus. I think more of them are becoming our neighbors in the suburbs as their territory in the wild has been reduced. Just like raccoons, Hawks and Coyotes.
