  1. Last night I was watching tv and Hannah was in her cage I didnt have her door open but she can see everything thats going on in the living room. she asks me all the time are you ok? and i say yes hannah im ok, Last night she ask me if I was ok , and i said Im ok Hannah are you ok? And she said NO Hannah wants out so i got right up and opened her door for her to come out . she just amazes me sometimes.
  2. Love the first picture of her so cute
  3. Thanks Judy Makes me feel better to hear that
  4. My Hanna was clipped whene i got her she is Two and a Half years old , How long does it take for her Flight feathers to grow back? One side is coming in good, she lost one the other day but it wasnt a live one the shaft was dead so im thinking she moulted it. There is no signs of Plucking. You can see on the First pic posted in the photo room. Thanks
  5. Do their Flight feathers come in one side at a time?
  6. My Hannah loves to play upside down!
  7. Marco is a beautiful bird they are so fun at that age
  8. Id like to share something that happend to me last march, I was holding Miss hannah on my hand Taking her into the Kitchen where we had a playstand for her, She had to poop and it fell on the linolium floor in front of me I sliped and fell and broke my leg , Hannah flew off and was fine, I had to have a plate and pins put in my leg, I was down for 8 weeks. So be very carefull about where you let them poop whene you are carrying them from place to place.
  9. Sounds like our house , we have two Cockitiels, Two Ferrets, two turtles, two crabs the kids got us from florida, A dog , a guinia pig. and my african grey hannah. we are one happy family. How are Hedghogs as pets? Might have to get one.
  10. I agree with you , Its all about common sense.
  11. I hadnt thought of some of them either
  12. Hi Cathryn We spend so much time talking about how to care for our birds, the right bird food, proper size bird cage the right bird cage accessories and bird toys. But we never talk about the other side. The sadly ironic side of having a pet bird. We've seen a picture of a bird with his head in a glass twice in the last week on Facebook. Lot's of "oh how cute" comments. We hate raining on parades BUT the single biggest reason our birds & parrots die is - we kill them. Rather than expanding on each and every hazard, I'm going to list all the we came up with. Let us know about your experiences so we can help other pet bird owners. Lands on edge of drinking glass, reaches down for liquid and falls head first & drowns Flies or falls into a mop bucket Flies or falls into a toilet Flies into a mirror Water bottle malfunctions while you're out-of-town for 3 days - bird suffers dehydration Electrocution by chewing through electrical wire Flies into open oven Flies into boiling water pot Fumes emitted from Teflon cookware heated over 535 degrees (Birds are 90% lungs - people) Using Teflon coated heat lamps to keep babies warm has killed chicks even at zoos Bird gets stuck on single toy hung in middle of cage - gets tired and can't reach cage walls to leave toy - falls off toy from exhaustion Toe caught in knot of chain - flaps uncontrollably until injury or death Flies into old fashion glue fly paper - flaps uncontrollably until injury or death Mouse trap under couch Impaled on knife or sharp object on kitchen counter Bird gets laid on because someone thought it was cute to sleep with their bird Flying out the door Ingestion of home cleaning product Sucked into a vacuum Stepped on Squeezed too hard by a young child Bird bites finger, clamps on - person shakes hand to get bird to release - bird hits floor or wall and dies Run-ins with ceiling fans (Vets call them shredded tweet!) Second hand smoke Crushed in a sliding glass door Other house pet kills bird Other birds - Lovebirds will bite other birds toes - toe loss can cause a bird to bleed to death Wrong human food - avocado, chocolate, caffeine etc. Place bird in outdoor cage in the morning, bird bakes in afternoon sun Introduce sick bird into home without quarantine Have we made our point?
