Timbersmom

Indeed he is...

Loved the pics! Just remember that birds have their own personalities. I'm just saying that with my luck, I'd get the only 'too in creation that didn't like to cuddle or didn't want to with me. No guarantees there. As to the jealousy, they do get jealous. Timber starts trying to get my attention when I pick up one of the cats, or even if I'm just talking to someone in the same room with him.

Timber says "asshole" (appropriately) and dammit (just whenever). These are words he came with. I haven't heard dammit lately, but he still calls hubby "asshole" at times.

Maybe it is both, but Timber doesn't seem to be trying to escape but rather to remodel. He will chew small holes in the sides to peer out of, and he does eventually scratch and chew through the bottom. That's when I have to replace the box unless it gets soiled before that. Timber will spend an hour or so in the box at times. He will scratch, chew and nap in the box. He also hides in there and springs out when I come back in from another room. He is a small TAG, and doesn't like to chew on wood much. I assume he uses the cardboard to satisfy his natural instincts to shred and chew. As to his motivations, who knows? A busy bird is a happy bird in my book

I think it looks kind of cute! The important thing is that Smokey doesn't seem freaked out by it. Good luck!

That's the one I use as well.

Yes, great comparison! Reminds me of progress with Timber in 16 months. What a difference a year can make

Timber loves a good cardboard box. Make sure you remove any tape from the box before you put it in.

LOL All's well that ends well!

That was hilarious! I swear Bongo's look said "calgon take me away!"

Reminds me of a boss I had one time. Several of us were traveling to a meeting in a van. We were just chatting about the left-handed, right-handed thing. The boss said, "Well, I'm amphibious," and smirked. Sad thing was I was the only one that laughed, the others nodded wisely and said "Oh, really?" Makes me question the IQs of my coworkers...

I always enjoy the Dayo videos! Am amazed every time at his perfect imitation of your pitch and accent.

I'm packing my stuff too...

I wouldn't be so certain about the other birds leaving his toes alone. I've read about incidents of that here on the forum. I'm not trying to bring you down, but wanted to mention that.

Woohoo! Echo is off to a running start

LOL By Thanksgiving, it will probably be "quack F'ing" quack"

What SterlingSl said... colors do matter to them!

How excited you must be! Hello and welcome to the forum. Can't wait to see pics and hear more about your experiences with your new baby. Good luck and God bless

Good news about Talon! Sorry to hear about Piper's wing, but am praying that healing comes quickly and that your solutions to the falling work like a charm.

Better to yell at the automated dude than a real person (like you ever get to talk to one). That is an excellent time to vent if you ask me. I have the same problems with Verizon and their useless automated system. Do those people really think I wouldn't just look at my account online or my phone if I want to know how many minutes I've used, if my payment posted, yada, yada. Nothing makes me angrier, and I'm usually pretty restrained. When I call that number, it is with an issue that needs resolution, not for general information. I think they know that, and make me jump through all those hoops hoping I will give up. I guess I'm just trying to say... I feel your pain!

I'd love to see the videos Ray. The good thing is you have a time frame, knowing in 4 weeks your travels will be over.

Hello and welcome to you and Pepper Love the pics, especially that first one (closeup). My TAG is that way too, so I'd like to hear the comments too.

Cool video! Sully is sure vocal, which I love. It sounds like he is speaking in a low pitch voice and a higher one. Very interesting video

Happy Hatchday Talon!

Pretty baby! Thanks for the pic
