Timbersmom

Tony is a looker! Congratulations and good luck!

That is a dilemma. Yes, it would be difficult to find someone who could deal with a flighted bird (in my area anyway) for a week. The only other choice would have probably been no out of cage time for the duration of your hospital stay. Sometimes we just do what we have to do. Don't feel bad, we make decisions based on available information at the time, and sometimes there just aren't any great options. Best wishes and prayers for a quick recovery!

LOL That is exactly what Timber did! It took me much longer to assemble the hut and put it in the cage than for him to remove the screw and get the goodies. Ha.

Yes, beautiful birds! Thanks for sharing

I can see it!

Cool video! George looks like a real character. What a joy he must be

What a great first week! So happy to hear Inara has settled in and is showing her personality so much already. What a joy Also, I got a kick out of the "OCD is a terrible thing to waste." Haaaaa!

Hello and welcome to you and George As Dan said, we love pics, especially baby pics. Post some when you get a chance and keep us updated on your progress

Be sure and post the results (in scientific format please) of your experiments Ray

Hello and welcome Carrie! Sorry to hear about your loss of your grandmother, but happy that you will be able to take care of her bird! I just rehomed my TAG last year, so there are others here who can give you more advice about the cage. I can tell you that given plenty of time, Baby will adjust to a new home and new people. Knowing her history and having some idea about the care she received is a big plus. You aren't a total stranger, and you know she wasn't mistreated. Just give her time to adjust and learn to trust you and all will be well

Great pics! Thanks for sharing

I think you have this whipped Ray! Link worked like a charm. Bacon and Cocoa are cuties.

Hello and welcome A few things I'd ask: normal bedtime/rise time any fears gender if known breeder info if known favorite type of toy (i.e. wood, cardboard, etc.) Those things may not be important but I'd want all the info I could get.

LOL Guess some things just come "naturally"

Hello Epen99. Have you introduced yourself and your fid in the welcome and introduction thread? We love hearing about our new members and their birds.

Hello and welcome! Looking forward to seeing some pics and hearing about your progress with your baby.

I had bites that looked much like that the first five months or so with Timber. All I can say is it does get better!

Happy Anniversary! I was wondering how long the forum had been around?

Yes, it seems there is a scam for everything now. Argh! Frustrating to get you hopes up only to realize it is another scam though.

I think you are doing the right thing. She may prefer less out of cage time to not being able to fly, at least for the present. Hang in there

No dog rehab experience so no help here! Good luck and God bless you for giving Chloe a new start

I see it Rick! I can also see the squirrel. If they hadn't destroyed so many of my outside bird feeders I'd probably think he was cuter

Hello and welcome! Judygram gave you good advice to which I can add nothing. It takes time for a rehomed adult to trust you. If you have just brought your Timneh home, give it some time

I have all tile and hardwood. I just keep baby wipes at hand and clean up anything that hits the floor.

LOL Now that would be confusing one for the dog!
