bwahahahah ........ LMAO omg that is hysterical :D :D

ooo fasten your seat belt ... its gonna start pickin up

Marco sleeps in her regular cage in the living room goes to bed 10ish i turn the lights off but watch tv quietly she sleeps pretty soundly only really loud noises wake her

I am like the rest ... every time I make it .. its a bit different ... Marco stopped eating ANY type of pellets months ago which concerned me greatly that she wasnt getting proper nutrition so ...when I make the birdie bread I hide ALLLLLLL that stuff in there and she loves loves loves it. I use a cornbread mix also, make it like the directions, add the egg AND the shell, then I put in frozen mixed veges, and then any type of fresh veges i have that day from peppers, jalapenos, celery, carrots etc, toss in a big handful of her pellets, nuts if I have them, put it in a baking dish with palm oil in it sprinkle flax seed on the top of it, maybe some cinnamon or red pepper flakes. Marco lovessssssssss birdie bread she gets a little chunk with each fresh meal she gets. I cut mine up into chunks and then freeze the rest. 1 batch lasts me about 2 weeks or so, she gets it twice a day at breakfast/dinner I LOVE the idea of doing the babyfood tho I might check into that! I dont put anything fruity in mine its all vege based/nuts/pellets. bake as directed on the box

well gosh darnit ... Marco dont call me nothing or least I dont pick up that she has a particular "thing" for me ... I must work on that!!!!!! I know she definately says ANDREW ... for my son ... she says DROIDDDD .. for Jay (as soon as she sees either of them) but nothing for mommy I guess I concentrated SO HARD on teaching her her FULL NAME and her address (if she ever got lost outside) that that is ALL she says now is her name n address :D and Im totally ok with that but will work on something more endearing for me lol I know we have tried we say alot of I love you Mommys and stuff to her but she hasnt broke loose that Ive heard with nothing like that. Id probably cry if she did lol

LMFAOOOOOOOOOOO omg that almost made me spit coffee @ phtttthhhh

welcome Jovan to you and Poly ... thanks for the pictures ... do tell us more!

Lmao!!!!!!!!!

Well shes already had me get up and check the microwave twice thinking to myself ... oh shoot was I cooking something? :confused: or she did the phone locate button for our cordless phone at like 11pm one night and I thought .... Im sitting right by the base where you have to PUSH that button to set off the locators and I didnt think I saw anyone come by and push it, everyone was in bed so I go looking for the phones myself :rolleyes: thinking .. who the hell is looking for the phones?? she also has the washer and the fridge if its open to long beeps ... shes got them ALLLL down

Kortney its so easy to get attached to these lil babies and quick. I also have no real answers for you as to I am a first time bird owner, so I hope your baby gets the proper care it needs to get better.

Thats what I was going to say Marco doesnt really go to the bottom of her cage anymore ... way more or a perch/tree stand/boing dweller... if she gets to itching specially in the winter I keep the humidifyer on for her and it cuts down on alot of it plus baths

LMAO ty for feeling my pain!!!!! And truly .. its one of those sounds apparently shes really enjoying making. I course told my son about this (bad idea) he took great delight that the bird is now a feathery squeaky toy herself and has made it his mission to find ANYTHING that makes noise for the dogs to bring over ... <stands guard at the front door> :mad:

Sooooo.... About 4 weeks ago maybe, my son comes over and was all excited to have bought the dog some new squeaky toys. I didnt think anything of it. I know since he moved out he misses the "family" dog that he claims is "his" dog but whatever. And Im not sure if ya'll do this but... when you play catch with them with a squeaky toy you gotta squeeze that thing like 129837604372 times to get the dogs attention then you throw it and the dog chewing on it makes the noise some more and they bring it back to you and you repeat the process like 15 more times. OR ... you find it laying there on the floor no dogs around and have to step on it 60 times to wake the dog up and then just continue to walk on by. OK ... maybe its just my house that does this but regardless........ Soooo flash forward the last week'ish. Marcos making a new sound that we figured she was fine tuning like the other words she practices. OWWWWWWWWW OWWWWWW OWWWWWWWWW... and we'll just look at her puzzled cuz well no one really says "ow" in the house. So we then have tried to think, what else could she possibly be trying to say. OWWWWWWWWWWWWW OWWWWWWWWWWW OWWWWWWWWWWWWWW and then ... it just so happens the DOG picks up the squeaky toy and starts to play at the same time and low n behold :mad: the toy makes the identical sound :eek: :eek: :rolleyes: So Jay looks at me and says OMG Shes making the squeaky toy sound! Sure enough! Now its bad enough the dog hasta squeak that thing all day long but now Marco is echo'ing it with her 2 cents worth ... I was just SHOCKED that she could mimic that sound! SOOOOOOO .. what have we learned? NO SQUEAKY TOYS ALLOWED or wack my son next time he tries to bring in toys for the dog!

omg that turning the water on and off is hysterical!!!!!!!

I noticed Marco has been ... if she is on my hand/arm hop/flying small little distances if we are walking towards her cage or tree stand from my arm to the object and landing really well so perhaps I might start making the distances further away

I agree Pictures please have a great time picking up your new baby today

WOW one of Marco's first words was peek a boo too :eek: ... funny! It only gets better from here YEAH! have fun

I have yippie dogs (min pin & yorkie) and Marco also barks along w/them :rolleyes:

I take Marco out (on the avian leash) and fly her as well but her landings in the grass arent all that graceful, shes pretty skilled however getting from her cage to my L shaped kitchen and landing on the laundry basket jus fine

Marco doesnt fly often either and has alot of what I call "crash landings" only a few times has she literally nailed where she has wanted to go. She hasnt flown into walls per say but she hits the cabinets when she misses the counter top of the kitchen sink. thats usually where she lands!

WOW that hasta be a housefull! welcome to you and your flock!

welcome glad you could join us

My 2 cents for what its worth is Marco takes up a HUGE portion of my day. From the moment I wake up, to the moment I come home from work to my weekends. I make her food for the week on the weekends, dish it up and freeze what I can. Hours and I mean hours of cage cleaning, sweeping, mopping and chipping poop off things. Toy making, wall scrubbing, pellet/seed/water filling, singing to, dancing for, head scratches, whistling and conversations ... 1 bird will do for me! She wears me out lol

NAKED?!?! lol
