It's that time of year for bugs. I would like to know are there any safe bug sprays for spiders and flies? My baby is not home yet but I have a big human baby who is afraid of bugs.

Just last week my son's budgie was sitting at the bottom of the cage with her eyes closed, I knew we did not have much time left. Blueberry has been with us for six weeks, we all mke. Sure he has fresh food and water daily. Also we make sure that he gets got of the cage evey day. Anyway last Friday morning I went to give him food and water and as I said this poor baby was bad off. I grabbed the cage and was on my way. Well as soon as the vet saw Blueberry they said he has not been eating, he was down to 13 grams, he was 30 grams on his last weight check. I said goodby to my little baby thinking he was not going to make it. Well I got a call today he now 24 grams and doing well. I asked myself how could this have happened without notice. Well I assumed this baby was eating because I saw food in the bottom of the cage and and was playing just fine in and out of the cage until that morning. The vet said that sometimes birds kick the food out of their dish, and never eat a thing. Well this was a lesson learned! Guess what I just put on my list to buy, yep a scale. I feel awful that I did not know that this baby was in trouble until it was maybe 5 minutes away from death. Just wanted to share this after reading this post. I hadn't before today because I was too embarrassed but if it helps someone else then I will live with the embarrassment.

I love to read someone enjoying their fid. It gives me so much to look forward to. You are a foot parront.

Welcome. What a nice birthday gift. Looking forward to seeing pictures.

Hello and welcome. Congrats on your new baby. I too am waiting to bring my baby home, as well as my daughter is waiting on her baby sun. It is great to be able to share this with people who truly understand the love of fids.

Wow that is great! I need to take some lessons from you. Thank you for sharing.

Hello and welcome. I am new and don't have my baby home yet, so I can't advise on this. I just wanted to say hello and welcome you.

Sarah, have you gotten any new information yet? How are you holding up?

Thank you everyone. I know a non bird lover is not able to understand this so I am happy to have all of you who really love birds help me make wise decisions. And please don't misunderstand me I am still super happy about my baby grey. I am going to a bird mart this weekend to see of I can find toys and a travel cage for her. I can't wait to get her home.

Cute pictures.

Thank you so much. I didn't even think about about it being a problem while at the store. I just thought what a beautiful baby. This pet shop does not breed, they get their birds from breeders. When I asked if this was the only one I was told yes this was the only egg that hatched out of a clutch of 4. I knew I was not going to get this baby because it has been a while since I have owened a AG. Before I get another I truly want to spend time getting to know and taking care of the one. But this is good info to think about . Thank you.

Thank you, that's what I wanted someone to tell me I have plenty of time to get another fid. just got caught up in the momement of seeing such a beautiful amazon. It is a hybrid, the mother is a blue front and the father is a double yellow head. Is it ok for breeders to do that? Or if in the future I do get another did is is best not to get a hybrid?

I got it bad! I am still waiting to bring my bab AG home, and today I fell in love with a amazon. It mixed between a blue front and a double yellow head. Beautiful baby. Please help me and tell me to slow down get my grey and enjoy and and wait to get an amazon only after I have researched, can afford one and know that I am able to handle two birds. I need your help, lol. This baby is beautiful.

Have you called the police department to verify this info. They could tell you if they indeed sent someone to your home. If they don't have any information then you would know that this is truly a scam and start acting fast. Maybe you would need to have the police go the person that you got Archie from house. If this is a scam I am thinking you would need to do this soon because he is probably getting ready to use Archie again to do this to someone else.

I am happy for the three of you. Enjoy your baby.

After reading so many post about people losing their flighted fids I think it is best for my fid to be clipped. Not saying that that is best for anyone else, just me and my house. I don't want to feel like everything I am doing with and for my fid is wrong because someone else does not agree.

Well said Doug.

I often visit the three local pet stores that sell birds, and two breeders all clipped their birds wings. Now I have to wonder if the breeder I am dealing with is a good breeder because of this.

Happy Hatchday Nilah!

Oh my gosh, this is horrible. I hope that this is settled fast so you can get your baby back very soon. I am so sorry that you, your husband and Archie are going through this. This sounds like a scam.

I am a part of this club. I had to make a choice between vacation and my new baby. I really wanted a fid so this was the choice for me. Either way I am still broke but I get to enjoy my baby everyday.

Oh no I am not saying that you should not compromise, most people do in relationships. But I believe both people should be willing to compromise. I refuse to be the only one making all the changes or giving up who I am to please someone else. Compromise is great but being controlled is a problem.

Oh my gosh, they are so cute! Thanks for posting the pictures.

Thank you. I hope so too. Funny thing is as bad as I have been feeling it has not taken away from the excitement of getting a baby grey. The time off of work has allowed me to learn more on AGs.

I have learned that if a person loves you they won't ask you to give up the things that you love, even if it means that they can't be with you. With that being said I will not give up any of my children, human or fids. It feels great to be me!
