Timbersmom

I'm sure I've read somewhere on here they they don't cough.

I leave the tv on for Timber tuned to Animal Planet while I am at work. Does he watch or care? Who knows!

Yes, what a story of survival! Makes me remember the threads I've seen about emergency preparedness. We all really need to do that, be prepared for the worst because you never know when it may happen.

Wow, love the toy! I wonder if Timber would love it or be afraid... problem is I never know until I have already purchased.

They are very unique in their preference on toys. I don't have any "toy" that holds Timber's attention for long (well except for his bells). I rotate what I have about every 2 weeks and he'll mess with them some, but not all that much. His favorite "toy" is a cardboard box or paper sack. It is what it is!

Hello and welcome to you and Kuku! He's a handsome grey. It sounds like you are making progress! It is slow but it comes... I can see that from experience

awww... He's so pretty! What a nice addition to you "flock." I'm glad he is giving Greycie "what for" instead of bending the knee. They will probably end up with a good relationship

No clue on this one either. As Rick suggested, I would try a water bowl instead of the bottle and see what happens.

Hello and welcome to you and Tequila! You have a beautiful baby there. Thanks for the intro and the pics!

Very cool pics! Kizzy is looking beautiful Thanks for sharing!

Well, Woooo is certainly better than some of the names they come up with for us!

From what I've read, it depends on the bird. Some are scared of the mirror, seeing it as another bird, while others love looking at themselves. Sounds like a trial and error thing to me!

Yes it is! I love to go to the twice yearly bird fair, but it is always bittersweet. I find neat stuff and love looking at the birds, but there is always that tug to take a particularly friendly or needy looking one home with me...

No experience and nothing to add here, but what a decision you have there! I wonder how long the average bird has to wear his collars and how successful they usually are. I have a logical mind and always have to see the statistics...

That is what I always think when I start getting symptoms of MBS. Timber is very demanding of my time and attention, and I only have so much. I always manage to talk myself out of getting another because of that. I work outside my home, so it is all I can do to give Timber adequate out of cage time and attention. Kudos to those who can manage it, but for now one bird is all I can handle!

Hello and welcome Deltadawn Yes, post some pics when you can. It sounds like you have a very interesting flock!

Good work!

Poor baby indeed, but we do what we have to do! One of my cats had a urinary tract infection and we had to give him a pill for 14 days running. What a nightmare. However, all's well that ends well, and we have to do what is necessary for their health! The cone will soon be a thing of the past.

Corky doesn't waste any time undoing that latch for you huh? Enjoyed the video, thanks for posting

Must have. It came right up on mine.

LOL They are so funny with their like and dislikes, where they like to hang out etc. Yes, if you weren't used to birds, it would be a shock!

LOL, cute and definitely a whale! Thanks for sharing

I keep an Edenpure heater clone in Timber's room to keep the temp up, since I keep my house pretty cool.

Watch for sales on cages. Also, there are good buys to be had on ebay. They have new as well as used there. Comparison shopping is important when it comes to a cage, the variation in price can be $100's...

Yes, Emma looks so pretty in the video! Not a "hair" out of place. She is so interactive with you. What a great relationship you have
