Thank you Judy! Rhonnie N Ceasar (who said I can't "fly")

Thanks Deb. Maybe I am rushing things too much. Like answering his call for me to pick him up? :huh: I think this is where the laziness comes in. Hmmmm Rhonnie N Ceasar ( what? YOU calling me lazy?)

Thanks Dan but he won't fly to me yet. I really don't think he can fly or is lazy. he will however climb up his cage when he wants up or walk over to me. But its, walk, climb, gripe or flirt. and of course, I listen. LOLOLOL Like I was telling pearlyn, I've never cit his feathers. If you see his feathers in the picture they are is disarray it because he just crash landed. ( Rhonnie N Ceasar (whats yur rush Mom?)

Well I'm Hoping. He's never had his wings clipped while here but I do his nails with a pink blanket. He knows when he see's the pink blanket its time to behave and momma is going to cut his nails. I don't have to cover him all the way anymore. He lets me just wrap him a little and put him on his back. ) But I was sure wondering if there were others out there. Maybe he will. Rhonnie N Ceasar

Hm, Bummer. Ceasar just flat can't fly. He'll go about 3 feet , like I said and crash land. ( He's a little torqued at me right now for not getting up on his scedule. You would be amazed at the difference this birdroom has made in him tho. Its like "Just add room and stir- Poof insta great bird." Rhonnie N Ceasar (hey mom, I fly when you say, I do a mean impression of the Eagle on Money!)

I dunno Jamalbirdbiz, he's had a year and 1/2 or more and he just doesn't fly. Hes about 10 years old. Its like he doesn't want to. Rhonnie N Ceasar (hey I can walk!)

Ok Ceasar is a bit, LAZY. LOL He can fly all of 3 feet maybe and crash lands. So now we "fly" by telling him to fly and he spreads his wings as a new trick. The vet says he's fine, he's just Lazy. Apparently he has spent his whole life in cages except while I've had him. Verbal, my Quaker parrot will buzz Ceasars head like a bomb and ceasar will not buy the game. Instead of flying with Verbal, he chews him out. Now if Ceasar can hop from one place to another he will. Whats up with that? Rhonnie N Ceasar (Yawn, stretch)

Ok Ok so its not a treat you can pack in your pocket unless I set them out for a while to sort of dry a bit, BUT, I'm astonished he accepted ANYTHING from my hand and actually ate it. What is it? Peaches. Yep you got it. The slimiest things on earth and Ceasar decides he likes it. BUT it is the thought that counts.Yippee He also learned a new trick we call "fly" I say Fly and he spreads his wings way out, Like this... Rhonnie N Ceasar (hey I can do it!)

and here is Ceasar. My ever precocious bird. LOL Rhonnie N Ceasar

Hi all! So beautiful to "see" everyone. Here is a picture of me,Rhonnie. I take more the pictures in this family so I'm going in shifts. One of me then one of ceasar. Rhonnie N Ceasar

Both are extremely cute but I like the one taking the bite out of the lime better. "grin" Rhonnie N Ceasar

Hi there! Thank you on the welcome Lyn. Yeah it is kinda comical cause he says it in Big Bass tones. Most the time he talks in feminine tones but when it comes to TURDHEAD it sounds like a big man saying it. Nope I never have figured out how to take video on my digital. When I figure it out ya'll will be the first to know. LOL Rhonnie N Ceasar

LOL yep. But he greeted me with a hearty good Morning a wolfwhisle and a I love you so Ihad to get him out. Rhonnie N Ceasar

Thanks for the welcome JamalBirdbiz.. Rhonnie N Ceasar

Thanks Judy! As you can tell by the picture he is just waking up too. LOL

Oh I certainly think so. Its only been a few months since remodelling and he has captured my heart. Here he was this morning before coffee LOL We were sitting here in the dark watching the sun come up thru the window. Rhonnie N Ceaser

Hi Dimitri,Kenya and Zippo, I'm Rhonnie and my grey is Ceasar. We talked a bit on chat. I'm new here as well. Isn't it wonderful to find so many people and their parrots to share the addiction with? Rhonnie N Ceaser

Thank you. He's in a mood this morning. Decided I needed reprimanding for putting him back up when a male friend showed up at the house to have coffee with Bill and I. Nailed me on the wrist. Nope, I figure every bird can be a good one if you just take the time and don't mind a few nips. Someday I'd like to rescue another. But thats a ways in the future. Its hard enough right now getting Ceasar in touch with Bill and I. Ceasar is the first bird I've ever made a bank account for. He's set up in my Will to go to Bill's neice if anything should ever happen to me. She's a young girl and loves her animals. Do you all do that for your Birds? Now Verbal, Bill and I hand reared and He loves his daddy. Moreso than he does me. All I could think about tho was "this mean parrot is going to outlive me" when I was having health issues. Now I think "Oh my God, what if my Sweetheart Bird outlives me!" I look forward to getting up and coming in the birdroom. Theres nothing like a Good Morning, a wolfwhistle and a I love you to start your day. I'm hopelessly smitten.. Rhonnie N Ceasar

Hi there! Thank you for the welcome. Ceasar was approximately 8 1/2 or 9 when I got him. I'm assuming he's about 10 -10 1/2. The first year was hard. He would go after both of us. I mean draw blood wise. Occaisionally he would let me get him out but I had to be careful. But I had him and Verbal's (my handfed quaker parrot)cages in the Entryway of the house. I have since remodelled the house and made a specific bird room that also has my computer in it. So we spend alot of time together and he is responding with great glee to be away from traffic. When I try to take him in other rooms of the house, It all looks new and different, and we are going slow. We made it to the livingroom without incident and I let him investigate at his free will. Then he wanted to play. So I get out his color blocks and we put them all down and I ask him for different colors. When he picks up the right color he gets a big snuggle. Then he got nervous again and we went back to the birdroom and he happily jumped in his cage.We are like I said going slow but he's turned into a delightful Bird. He and Verbal constantly talk to each other. Its funny to hear Verbals little voice asking "Ceasar, whatcha want?" Ceasar replies,"be quiet Verbal" Or when he's mad its "Shut up Verbal" but when he's sweet, they have long parrotese and english talks. The only things I can't get him out of saying is Shut up, $hit and he calls me a turdhead when I pt him up and he doesn't want to go.. Rhonnie N Ceasar

Oh he no longer talks that way. He has "cleaned up his act" quite a bit and turned into a real great bird. He does have issues tho.I think he honestly was abused by the male in the household. The language and acting out mannerisms were far to great not to have been. My husband and I don't allow foul mouths around Ceasar and he just started picking up good things. He greets me in the morning with a big "Good Morning" and at night he says "Goodnight" to both of us. He rings like a phone, then answers himself saying "Hello, Ok You sure? OK Bye Bye" He has a huge vocabulary, much to much to quote but my favorite is I love you. I tell him I love you to Ceasar. Rhonnie N Ceasar

:laugh: Nope, it was me being desperate to find a treat he couldn't sling. But he proved that he didn't care much for that either. :evil: I know he sounds like a horrible little dude but he really is a good bird. He just loves me too much and Daddy not at all. He was a rescue bird with a foul (no pun intended LOL) mouth. He hasn't liked Bill from Day one and I've had him about 1 1/2 years. He plays ball and can tell his color blocks apart. If I ask him for green he gets green and so on. We really do have alot of fun.. Rhonnie N Ceasar

When Ceasar puts his head down he makes a loud "knock' sound and then he goes into attack mode. He really does not like my husband at all and Bill loves Ceasar. Now the other day he stepped up just pretty as you please with another female person, Sue, in the room. He made no attempt at her, in fact he seemed to like her. But he hates men. Rhonnie

And here he is Looking at Daddy. He looks at Bill this way ALL the time..

Hi to All and thank you for the Welcome from Everyone. Ceasar and I both appreciate it. Here is a few pictures of Ceasar. One acting Normal (as Ceasar can be LOL) and one doing his finest impression of a pinecone (when Daddy walked in the room. Here's his normal shot.. Rhonnie

Nope. I don't think he had a good handfeeding experience because anything you offer him will get slung away from your hand.I have tried everything. The only thing he hasn't been able to really sling is the whipped cream filling from snack cakes. But then he gets angry.. So I reward him with a snuggle when he does good. Rhonnie N Ceasar
