Shoulderin

I am going to look at some childrens apps that tie language to a game!!

Hi! This may sound nutty but many adorable grey Bodhi is obsessed with my iPad and new tablet which is android based. She tries to interact with the screen and when her tongue touches it, it will respond! I let try out a bubble popping game which she seemed to like. Has anyonehad this experience? Should I encourage this? Any game ideas?

I would marry both of them!!

So professionally made! I bought the materials but am too lazy to make one

Happy birthday! He may not talk but I bet he listens!

What the heck is durian!!

I have a ten month old grey and two white winged parakeets. For some reason they LOVE her cage and climb over to hang out. While Bodhi does not play with them she is very tolerant and polite..surprising given they are so tiny!

My baby CAG was about 5 months old and clipped. I had her on her stand outside while I was cleaning her cage and dropped the tray. The loud clang scared her and she flew away, around the side of my property and over the fence to the neighbors yard. At least 500 feet. The gardner next door found her so I was able to get her back right away but I immediately took her to be trimmed the next day. I have too many kids and pets leaving doors open to take a chance on this again and there are many hawks and coyotes where I live to take any chances. I do try to help compensate for this by fake flying her (running while she flaps her wings holding onto my fingers ) and taking her on outings as well as to give her the most attention and nurturing I can.

Bodhi is ten months and not talking yet! Im not too concerned if she does or doesn't because we communicate just fine already. I'm convinced she understands a lot of what I say already.

The two posts are really helpful. I will try both methods and see how she reacts! I can handle her anger if it's for a good cause butni don't want her to be frightened or traumatized!!

Is there any way to gently help her enjoy water? When i spray her she doesnt look stressed, just irritated, but when i bring her in the shower she squawks and tries to escape. I did put a bath in her cage for awhile but she never used it.

I take her into the shower daily but she hates water so I let her sit on thenshower rod. I spray her with aloe at least 2-3 days per week against her wishes. She is pulling only the soft downy feathers and I don't see any new feathers except on her tail..she has a lot of broken feathers as she is always trying to fly and has hard landings. She eats parrot seed mix, pellets, and lots of veggies and some fruit. She is a very affectionate bird and wants to be held and petted all the time. She is free all day and has two white winged parakeets for company. Other family members are home but she has no interest in them. I give her one hour in the morning and she is with me all evening until bedtime. she get 6-7 hours of attention daily. No new stresses or changes in the house and she seems her usual happy self! She is kept near a French door so gets plenty if sunlight...what is an avian light? Do I need one? Thanks!

About three days ago my 9 month old CAG started plucking her downy feathers. She seems to dig around in her feathers, then pulls one and makes a small squawking noise. I would not say there are a ton of feathers around her cage and she does not look any different, but it is a new behavior. She will do it in front of me and when alone. I gave her a bath and sprayed Aloe on her hoping that would help. she is not stressed and there are no changes in the house. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!

I love her expression!

Wow, that's great! My 9 month old is mimicking lots of sounds but no clear words yet.

My 20 year old daughter and her friend are at Disneyland right now! Many people around here have yearly passes and go often. I don't like the crowds so don't go too often! I would love to go to Disneyworld just to see the different rides and attractions

My profile says Southern CA but I will be more specific and admit I'm in Orange County about 20 minutes from Disneyland. I hear the fireworks every night which is surprisingly comforting! I also love to see where people come from. I truly believe that animals are one of the glues that hold people together...that being said I will admit I have a whole lot of glue in my life (you may see me on an episode of Animal Hoarders some day....jk!) I am so appreciative of this forum as I have learned so much about my baby CAG from all the experts and she is doing fabulously as a result!

I have two white winged parakeets! They are about one year old and very attached to the point they do not like to be handled. I'm trying to work on it. They are extremely loud - more so than the canary wings. I also have a 9 month old CAG and they all get along well! Their cages are next to each other.

Mine is almost 9 months and not talking but whistles many tunes and makes babbling noises.

I know! As if the bird just knew how to say it without help! Maybe he just wanted to get out of there....

Does anyone have experience with brown headed parrots? My local bird store has a two year old male for sale. He was bought there as a baby and returned by original owners because he started saying a bad word. The store felt that was a bogus reason to return the bird but felt the home was not that good so took him back. He is apparently quite feisty and can bite but I have visited him several times and he has definitely taken a liking to me! I can carry him around and pet him to the surprise of the staff. Any advice? I have a 9 month CAG and two white winged parakeets that I just love so I am becoming a fid lover!!:rolleyes:

Thanks! I want to try them!

Love the pics! What kind of macro filters did you get?
