I would agree with Dave, there is a lady in my neighborhood that has a scarlet that she takes for walks all the time even in the cooler weather.

As far as cooking Stainless or cast iron work personally I prefer Stainless, the problem with teflon is when it gets overheated it can give toxic fumes and also if you use metal spatulas and spoons it will scrape off the coating so if you cook for your FID don't use teflon coated pans so as long as you don't over heat them, they are safe where you need to watch is baking dishes but if you FID is far enough away from the kitchen you should be OK too, smoke from cooking can also be hazardous I have had Fergie for 4 months and she is almost 3 yrs old and doesn't really show any interest in any foraging toys either Kino should be Ok just make sure you let him out when get home and once you start winding down give him some birdie time, another suggestion is to leave a radio or TV on. Beets boil them like a potato and peel them like one too slice and enjoy.

I haven't been on here for a few weeks due to my wife being laid up with a broken leg, but anyway yesterday I was walking by her cage Fergie: What's up? What are you doing? Me: Not much you? Fergie: Nothing just standing here Took me a second then laughted my butt off!!

I use a little dog carrier with a perch in it for Fergie, the Bird store I frequent suggested I stay away from the softsided ones as she could chew it up. Even though they sell them.

Idk about the treat part but generally frozen is better than canned as canned tend to have a lot of sodium in it. I have heard some people use the low sodium canned veggies I just choose not to.

Make sure know the difference between Konnie and wahini, the climate is great but I'm sure you know everything is expensive and you will grow to like spam if you already don't. Have fun!!!

Also don't forget to consider temperature extremes a tent can get extemely hot quick, and keep her out of the direct sun as either one can over heat her as being in a cage offers little escape room, a rock and a piece of cardboard on top of the cage can give her a spot to cool off in if she is in her cage, and also beware of the smoke from the camp fire and what is put in in sometimes people put trash and plastic in the fire and that can be harmful to her, Lastly look out for other animals wild and domestic, raccoons and squirrels, as long as you stay on your toes to potential dangers you will have a great time.

Welcome to the forum!

That is awesome

I agree as I posted earlier Fergie like shrimp and pork ramen noodle but not chicken they all are the same just different flavor, I only give a noodle or two not the pack

Is it a liquid or a pill? Can the medicine be mixed with food or not?

Steve, great link, its very interesting, one of the things I have learned is Turkey birds do prefer fresh over rotting, if given the choice they prefer fresh killed over rotting, who wouldn't right, but if food is scarce they will eat rotting meat, I see them all the time on the rails, I have always wondered if birds can smell or not too, as I have always found it hard to believe that birds couldn't smell, but Like in my previous post have always gone by what more educated people have told me.

I never realized that birds get jealous and they do when I brought Fergie Home our tiel, Marcellus Wallis was very Jealous, Fergie she could care less, But I agree with the others let you husband find himself a bird, you never know maybe maybe he will come home with a grey.

Acappella, I really admire the fact you did what you did, most people could have cared less, I am kinda callous to killing of animals as I work for the railroad and I hit wild animals daily at first it bothered me but there is nothing I can do, I on occasion hit a dog or a cat and that still bothers me, as that was someones pet and it will be missed, I can't stop the train just hafta keep on goin. Don't let it get you down you did more than most people would, and you did your best to do what's right, that's what counts.

Hi and welcome to the forum!
