That is great news, I can't wait to hear Val chattering. I have heard her say a few words, mocking my macaws, nothing big yet.

Like so many others I keep coming back, hoping to find good news. I sure hope and pray you find him. Don't give up, and just a thought I had, maybe you could take his stand or something to the last place you did see him?

I spray mine twice a day. That is for all my birds. I have talked to many vets and experts about this. The more they get showered, the better it is for them. I have seen less fling feathers.

Is when my friends come over and say things negative about my birdies. Why spend that much money on a bird? why want something so messy? I would never.....

OMG, I know what you are going through. This is horrible. I hope that you find him. When Val escaped, she was just a little ways from the house. I was really glad that she had been clipped, and couldn't gain height. She was gone for 13 hours, almost to the minute. I pray you find him.

If I would have paid attention, I would have known. I often read the first page and comment and don't see there are more pages until I comment. Sorry!

I am so happy for you. I hope this helps you. I know what its like to loose one of the loved pets. Your baby looks so sweet. Have you given any thought to a name?

I love it. The birdies rule and know it. I love the net in the window. I have been wanting one, but I am not sure if the macs will eat it not.

Looks like they just love the outdoor adventures. thanks for sharing

I blow them out as well. Just make sure its outside and the wind isn't blowing I have had it all come back on me.

I liked Polly even thou it was a conure, but it is a good clean family movie.

accessories make the look!!!

She can do the bull frog, and cricket sound very well now. She is trying so hard to talk, sometimes I think she is saying something, but is drowned out, by the big boys. She is so sweet thou. She has to have her head and necked rubbed before she will step up. She is quite spoiled already. I can't wait for school to start back up so that I can spend more time with her. Every time she see's my son she flies with panic. I can't wait until she gets use to him. She is scared of everything I hope that changes. Good luck with the camping. I would have to rent a u haul to take all mine camping, and I don't have any one to feed mine. I don't trust Roy to a stranger.

I love the camper, would only dream of something like that for now. After Val spent the night out, she has picked up some nature sounds. So you have been warned.

Marcus, is such a joy to hear about. I just love the way you put your stories. You need to be careful, Marcus is going to be the smartest one in the whole house. LOL

Thank you for sharing this story. That is just a smart little birdie you have there. Way to go Cosmo.!!

sounds like you and I are on the same page. I swear sometimes when I listen close to Val she is saying step up. She is around the same age as yours.

that was so cute. They know they are being sneaky. Prince has been letting himself out of the cage by opening the food door, and I heard him rattle it a few times, I went to look, and he jumps back up to his perch, as to say. I am not doing anything Mom!

So cute, the last one looks like ok it was a hard day at the office, I just want to rest.

Thanks so much guys. She is a little charmer that is for sure. I would have been so lost without her. She is making the kissing sound now when I enter her room. She makes her way to the food dish at breakfast time, and crawls out the hole well I clean her dish and refill it. Then she jumps to my hand while putting it back. Then I have to open the door to let her go eat. Several times, it sounded like she was saying step up, because Roy says it all day long. I am not sure that is what I am hearing. I think she might be too young to talk yet. I am sitting on the edge of my seat just waiting for the words to begin. I have her harness, and she went to biting it right away. I just hung it on the play stand and she just pulls it and bites it. So When I get the nerve to go the next step, I think she will be ready.

Sounds like he is testing his limits. Just tell him easy or gentle, and put a little pressure, down on the bottom beak, when it starts to get to hard.

I just love these happy stories. Pancho has a great home, and sounds like a super great birdie

I think thats the first blue one I have seen. Such a beauty.

This maybe a helpful idea if you don't already know it. When I go to buying and ordering off the internet. I go to the thefind.com. then I type in what I am looking for. Then I get a list of everyone and their prices, also coupons are available on most sites.

There are just so many things that they will get into, its hard to think of them all, without a reminder from time to time. I will carefully read over the link you sent, and Thank you very much.
