I dont have a sleep cage either, and I also cover the cage at night. He is really only in his cage when we are not home, otherwise he is out with us.

Me either... I wish them well.

Those are good names! How about a female warrior to go with Rambo like Xena, Zelda, She-ra or how about Adrian:)

My cage is 36" wide, 26" deep and 56" tall.

Hello, my husband has allergies also, but not as severe as yours sound. Like you, I keep a very clean cage and house, Babalu my grey, is not aloud in our bedroom. I also have a air cleaner right beside his cage and I am trying to get him use to bathing more too.

I have the thermostat set between 69-72 depending on how cold it gets. But we have a 3 story townhouse and my grey's cage is on first floor. It is at least 2-3 degrees cooler down there so I worry a little. I use fleece fabric to cover his cage and he has the thermo perch which he does not use of course. So I am going to get one of the avitec heat panels from one of the other posts, that way I can turn down the heat. It gets warm on the third floor and my husband prefers to be cold, he is weird...

I got a light finally! It is a Featherbrite. Thanks Dan for all the help you gave me!

If you can afford the stainless steel as a first cage, then I would go with that. My cage is a SS but it is the second cage and hopefully the last. They are easy to clean, and look real nice:) The powder coated cages may chip or ware in a few years. I do not know much about aluminum, but I have looked at them online just to see the colors and stuff.

Poor bird... I think she will be ok though, happy not to be covered. Good luck!

what a great idea! Thanks!

Thanks for that link, I think that is what I am going to get next, since he wont sit on the thermo perch by himself. I have seen clear tubs with holes drilled on the lid, with bedding on the bottom and that sits on a heat pad. But I am not talking from experience that is just what the local bird store does for baby birds and I am assuming sick ones.

that was crazy!

Hmm, never thought of that... I use filtered water from the fridge I wonder if that helps. Thanks for the comments!

The first bottle I bought was a water buddy which had that kind of valve, but he would play with it, and keep pushing the valve and water spilled out... The good thing about those is they are not suppose to be able to get jammed and they dont get the vapor lock, or so I was told..

Wow, congrats! Happy to hear you are able to rescue her!

I ended up getting a bigger tube for the bottle so more water would come out and he is using it now even with the bowl of water below.

The 3rd video was funny!

Hahahah, so funny/cute! Thanks.

dang, they are smaller than I thought, pretty cool thanks.

I have wine too! I love wine! It relaxes me and I sleep better:) LOL.

Mine seems the most active after his lunch on my days off, or in the evening also. Especially when Matt is trying to watch tv, Babalu loves to whistle and do his sirens and car alarms. (Maybe he does it on purpose he knows Matt hates it)

Aw, he looks so sweet in his box.

Thanks, every time I see it, I think of Alfie now, I never noticed it before I joined the forum.

I still cant see the picture, did you take it down?

I tried putting my red palm oil in fridge and cutting him out a piece to see if he would eat it... and he did! So now on days he eats it when it is solid, (it smells less solid) I do not have to smell the cooked smell of it! Yay! And thanks for the idea >^..^<
