We have 2 wood stoves in our house one in the lower level and one in the upper level that we use all the time. As judygram said as long as it is properly vented enjoy it with your flock. We live in a large log cabin so the wood stove is part of the decor. P.S. when you live in a log cabin and the birds look around with all that wood they think they died and went to heaven.

That is just one of many things that will melt your heart. Our grey Corky is 10 years old and we have had from a baby and she still comes up with new things to let you know she loves you. They never stop with their new adventures and new found emotions

My girl Corky never said her first word untill she was 2 years and 1 month old and now she wont be quiet.

I posted this brfore we have a corner rabbit litter pan that will hang in the cage and my birds love it

Happy for you and Lucy. As I said a year from now this will be just a bump in the road.

Welcome to the forum It`s a great place to be

Welcome to the forum, You will love it here and there a lot of great people here

My zons name is Cricket and she is a bluefronted amazon and is about 15 years old. She is also a rehome and we have had her 2 years and one and one half months. She is a very sweet girl, and very gentel. but she did not come that way. She came with many issues but !!! she did a very quick turn around. She only will say 3 or 4 words and will make toothpicks out of her wood toys. She does not play much but she loves to sit on my shoulder for hours and get head and chin rubs and just relax and be with us. She travels very well and goes every place with us (never left at home). As a amazon she does not fit the mold of a zon and is very loveing.(but that`s not the way she came to us). When we were first asked to take her we said no because of her past of being nasty (we almost lost out on her) But we took her.

She looks like she might be a bit of a ham for the camera. I know mine is. Great pics.

Yep it`s a long one and pic #2 is our snoopy tree

The storm has past with some loss of power but we did ok in NE Ohio, It`s just we have to clean the driveway again and were 300 ft. from the road, thank god for the tractor.

BigJon welcome to the forum and you have a good looking grey. There are a lot of good people here that like to share the good times and the not so good times. It`s like a family

Dark out side lights on. Light out side lights off. So what is the problem ??

I read the same thing about colored ink used in the Sunday paper years ago. I also read that the ink used now is differant but I do not know this as a fact. Good question.

birdhouse gave you some good advice. Take your time with your grey and let it get to know your home and you, sit by the cage and talk to it. They come around on their terms and their terms only. And there is always a chance that he will be only a mommas boy and learn to put up with you.

I think about them a lot and wonder how they are doing and I know all the members on this forum feel the same

WELCOME Luvparrots you are a great amazon mommy and I love your storys about Louie. You are the best person to help jayd in there time of need and I will do my best to help you if I can.

Our grey and zon have been all over the country with us. They go with us every place, vacation over nite trips. they have stayed in motels, hotels, the home of friends and family in our motor home. they also have traveled cars, trucks, our van and suv. They seam to enjoy travel with us because they are close to us all of the time when we travel. When we go they go and we love it and I think they do also

I think she was singing in the shower and haveing a gooooooooooooood time. THANKS for the vid. I loved it.

I new this day would come. And there is lots more to come with a zon. I am glad for you. Ray

Corky our grey has done the chicken scratching all her life and she is 10 years old. She will rip up paper on the table and than go in the middle of it put her beak on the table and take that foot and send paper all over the place and when she is done she will fly off and blowing paper all over the place we call it her 30 secound clean up.

A poop decorated shirt is an example of the highest love a bird can give you. If they are on your shoulder that long to poop than they have claimed you.

She just needs time to adjust. Remember she has been taken away from every thing she new and has been put into a strange place that she does not know. Let her explore her new home on her own, sit by her cage and talk to her, Keep her in a room were everybody is so she knows what is going on and can see the family and all the things they do. She will come around when she settles in and gets to know whats going on and she feels like part of the family. Just giver her time.

My grey and zon get 2 nutriberries each every day as a treat. I put them in their cage so I never have trouble with them going back because they know what is waiting there for them
