In one scenario you are narrating (explaining your actions) what you are doing.......ie. sweeping.....in the other you are adressing him directly. These are appropriate shift tenses in English:)

No her name is Rose.......my husband named her:)

She looks like a turkey vulture.....you know....with the naked head:) But she has soulful eyes and alot of "red factor" feathers. The rest of her body is in good shape feather wise. I will post some pictures soon. We are working on the dog inrto....everytime i allow a dog in.....she gets a treat. I am hoping she comes to associate their presence with a reward for her.

Thanks for the advice....we are moving soon from Ohio to Florida...moving 3 dogs.....a cat ....a pionus....2 conures.....a timneh....and an 81 year old father in law......OMG....i am not looking forward to the moving part....just the no snow part:)

hi everyone:) I just wanted to give an update on the timneh. Just for a brief background....i adopted a timneh that went from pet/breeder/pet in that order. I dont know how long she was a pet or a breeder prior to the last home which had her a year as a breeder. Her name is Rose and she has a problem with her ovaries that make her unable to lay. So the breeder decided to rehome her as a pet. So far she is settling in well. Eats everything we give her......lots of veggies and the mash i make for my other birds. She will very gently take food from my fingers and today she solicited me to pet her head. :cool: Her head is plucked from her mate....but small fuzz and some feathers appear to be regrowing. I have been misting her daily with a aloe vera/water mix i use on my flock and keep the humidity up. This seems to help her itchy head. Well I just thought i'd share our progress:) I am so happy we were able to give this darling a chance at a long healthy life of love and care as she so deserves. Cheers:) electra and flock...

Hi I'm electra...... I have a white cap pionus (Eva), 2 green cheeks (Bibi and Butters), and a rehomed Timneh grey (as yet unnamed). I just adopted the Timneh today actually. She was a pet....then a breeder bird....and after having reproductive problems......back to a pet. The family I got her from was unsure of her age. But the vet thinks 10-15. Her poor little head is plucked bald from her mate. So thats where we are at....brand new home and a brand new life:) She ate this evening and took a nutriberry from my fingers so far.....she got very upset at the sight of my dogs in the room.....so they are banished for now.......just giving her a few days to chill and get used to life here:) :cool:
