Spock here, haven't felt my best this last week, my Jay and Maggie have read all your wonderful post's to me, thank you. Food isn't tasting to good lately, they made me some brn rice with anise seed, not bad, don't like formula no more,[yuc], Last night I had some rice with beans and peas and lentils and cinnamon and yum, it was good..Today I weighed 443, last 3 days I was weighting 437 grams...Today they crushed some pellets and stuck some formula and my vitiums/minerals in it with rice milk, I ate 1 heaping tsp.[not bad] Luv you all...

Amen...

Spock hasn't eaten much today he's back down to 440 grams, we hope he eats shortly, Jay and Maggie..

Prayers....Maggie and Jay

Don't ever stop my friend....Love you...

Thank you, The smear was taken a week after the injections stopped, [ouch] His weight is down this morning to 440 grams and after smash he weights 450 grams, His poop was runny again, his second was ok. We took him off his pellets today, they were the same brand as the formula...Jay

Very true, Spock's been on a pro-biotic all along, Thanks every one for all the prayers and care...Jay

Not happy days these last few, Spock's hasn't been his best, his weight's been holding at around 445 grams, problem is he has developed what we believe is diarrhea, and he's been biting again. Where hoping it's just something he ate, he's never had it before...Doc today... Jay and Maggie

Jay here, Extreme, wonderful post, karma, it is good to teach your Grey to "eat from a spoon". You mix up a couple spoons of formula, [or wet mashed pellets]at around 109 degrees F [by the time he/she get's the soon, the temp will have dropped a degree or two.], and let him/her eat it out of the spoon, don't let the temp go below 103 degrees F.

Spock here, You know they say, "A Grey ages 7yr's to a human's 1.." It's also true that it's humans fault we turn grayer each year...[Really, it's dog year's not Greys?]:whistle: Spock

Spock here, it's your day, milk it for all it's worth...:laugh: Spock

We are so sorry to hear about your poor baby...I wish we could take his pain away:( (from both of you). You are doing so good with him. Our prayers are with you! Jayd and Maggie

Hi Harvey, you lucky bird! I am jealous...that is such a nice toy...hint,hint to my parronts!!:blink: Spock

My favorite day of the week!!!This week's Amazon is an endangered species. It is know as the Red-Browed Amazon (Amazona Rhodocorytha) also known as a Red-topped or Red-crowned Amazon. This Amazon is one of the largest of Amazon parrots, reaching 35-40 cm in length and 450-650 g in weight. The most obvious feature of the species is the red forehead and crown, which fades toward the nape to a reddish-purple tinged with blue. The lores are yellow-orange with cheeks and neck blue. Other features include a horn-colored upper mandible that becomes pink at the base, an orange-brown iris and grey legs. The Red-brow is found mainly in small groups in eastern Brazil in Alagoas and from Bahia and eastern Minas Gerais south to Rio de Janiero. Conservation Status: The Red-brow was listed as CITES Appendix I on 2 June 1970. IUCN classifies the Red-brow endangered, with a small, fragmented range and total species occurrence over less than 5000 sq. km. In addition, the Red-brow has experienced continuing decline in observed areas, and in the extent and/or quality of habitat and number of mature individuals. IUCN estimates a total Red-brow population in the wild of 250 mature individuals or less. Threats to Survival: Once a common parrot in south-eastern Brazil, the Red-brow is now altogether extinct across most of its original range due to deforestation and human encroachment. Unchecked habitat destruction compounded by exploitation for the local pet trade remains the driving force behind the Red-brow's decline in the wild. Rosemary Low wrote in her monograph Endangered Parrots (1984): "Were there as many as one dozen pairs in captivity there would be some spark of hope for the future of the Red-browned Amazon. Instead, there is none." Jay:) http://www.rarespecies.org/rb.html http://www.parrots.org/index.php/blog_mcgovern/<br><br>Post edited by: Jayd, at: 2010/02/14 05:59

Thank you Jill......

Salsa has always decided that the grass is greener on the other side of cage...she loves to wander around and go into all the other cages, eat out of the other food dishes (even though she has the same food as everyone else) and she likes to eat the different fruits and veggies that others offer.:laugh: Joey used to chase her out whenever he caught her but he has grown used to her and now lets her play for a while until he gets tired of her being in there. Then he slowly steps toward her and when she sees him coming, she begins to run as he nips at her tail...:evil: Recently she has discovered Spock's cage and likes to play in there. Spock used to fly over and stand in the doorway and stare at her while she squawked and screamed. Today, she was in his cage and he flew over and watched her for a while...then he reached down and shut his cage door and stood on top of the cage and watched Salsa run around squealing because she could not get out...Oh Boy!:evil: :woohoo: Maggie

:lol: Thanks all, you really are helping!!!! Spock here, which one of you suggested those stickies in my chest?:angry: :dry: Sorry.....SPOCK, GET AWAY....Thanks Jay and Maggie:)

B) Kahn, Spock here, so we meet again, It's only logical that you would choose a gun to mimic. I myself mimic phasers and photon torpedoes....:evil: Live Long and Prosper... Spock

Spock here, not feeling my best but I've been holding my weight at 447grams after morning bomb, average weights vary from 400-650 grams. Whats more important is his "Morning after Bomb weight average". All grey's vary in weight... Spock Live Long and Prosper

B) Dave's right, he won't lead you wrong. Feed your baby, don't rush him, give him all the formula he'll eat at a feeding, he's only young once...I'm a year old and back on formula once a day, [yummmm]:laugh: Spock Live long and Prosper

Spock here...Joey, my brother from a different mother,my "parronts" rescued a while back, [HE'S OLD] didn't talk for a long time. Then at first he'd say things about his previous owners [sad] and now he doesn't shut up...He's teaching me to talk... :woohoo: Spock Live Long and Prosper [Karma.....in a couple of hr's, haha]<br><br>Post edited by: Spock, at: 2010/02/10 01:48

B) Spock here, Always such great advice on the Forum..Karma to you...Most all my flock are flighted, so there's not much open hot water around. Take a hot shower shower with the door open, but make sure baby doesn't get a chill... Spock Live long and Prosper
