I am deeply shocked and saddened to hear of the death of our friend and colleague. It was a big blow to know his sudden death. We have lost a big piece of who we are , but we will always know who he was from his post and presence on this forum. R.I.P.

I think with our greys the end justifies the means. They are quick to pick up on what gets our attention.

Banning your grey from your desk and keyboard will not work. They have this thing of finding the damn keyboard when your not around.

Did you know that parrots are like potato chips ? You can never have just one.

OH the joys of having a female parrot and the surprises that come when not expected.

Corky will say: Gota pop. and than a fart sound !

OH yah summer ! I was told that it was do back some time later this year.

From babies they quickly turn into brats and you love them forever.

OH yes I hope you had a very, very happy birthday and that you have many, many more each better than the last.

With a sick wife and computer trouble I missed posting Corky s birthday. On Dec. 5, 2016 corky turned sweet 16 and just as spoiled as ever. OH yes she has been kissed many times over, and over and so on.

Zon`s bring so much to a home and to your life. Amazons are like people as they each are their own.

What a good looking pair of zon`s

A + for our AGs

You said WHAT !!!

We take many pictures of our companion parrots. How about adding a caption to our favorite pictures. What are you looking at

Corky has been with all her life. She will be 16 years old in December and around us she will not shut up, but let a stranger come into our house and she becomes a clam. However as she gets to know them from many visits to our home she will start to chime in and charm them to no end.

Oh, WOW. That looks like my kind of place. I love coffee and you know how I love parrots. I should look into this in my home town. Rays Coffee and Adopt a Feather Shop. Hmmm.

The smallest bird in the world is a Bee Hummingbird (Mellisuga helenae) of Cuba and the Isle of Youth. Males measure 57mm (2.24 in.) in total length half of which is taken up by the bill and tail, and weigh1.6 g (0.56 oz). Females are slightly larger (Guinness World Records)

My answer is yes, yes, yes. In the past 45 years my wife and I have taken in over 40 rescued birds, most of them Cockatiels, some love birds, parakeets and Cricket my very much loved BFA along with some other species of birds. We also have rescued many dogs, cats and goats. Our biggest challenges have given us our biggest rewards

The time goes by so fast, but it seams like they have been with us for ever. We are coming up on Corky 16th birthday in December and she is the biggest brat ever. Was ours at 9 weeks and came home at 16 weeks so I think we are all she remembers.

Welcome to the forum. We all have big ears and semi big mouths and we love to share.

And just think, there is more to come!!

Corky is good about using her potty perch, but now and then she will drop a bomb before we can stop her. She was on the kitchen table and walked to the edge and hung her butt over the edge and before I could stop her she dropped a bomb. Well Bacon our Dachshund was by the table looking up at Corky and it hit him in the nostrils. The first thing Bacon did was to lick is nose and the second thing was to drink water to wash it down. I laughed because all I could think of the story about a sh*t eating hound.

Our love affair with parrots is something most people do not understand and that is why we reach out to find others with the same feelings. I guess that`s why we join forums to share our life with our parrots. Welcome to the both of you to our family.

Oh the adjectives we use to describe our beloved Greys. We raised Corky to be a brat and created a monster and from time too time we refer to her as Corky monster and some times as butt head. She has earned all the names we call her and would have it no other way. She rules the house to the point that if our two dachshunds get on the couch she will fly down and tell them to get off the couch and back to the floor, and they will jump for their life back to the floor and into their bed. When Corky is out of her cage they are nowhere to be found. She is the house cop. Any other house cops out there?
