Timbersmom

Timber naps at times during the day when I am home. He usually wakes up as soon as there is sound or movement. Occasionally I will see him in "full sleep" position with his head resting on his back during the day. Rare, but I've seen it.

I've heard Timber make a similar noise. No expert, but it sounds normal to me. They vocalize in so many different ways...

Congrats on the boy!

LOL Drawing the line on the taste test! As to the original question, it seems color is not an issue, it is conistency that matters. Timber's changes color but looks the same otherwise.

Everybody is looking good! And even better, they look happy

if Timber starts splashing in his water bowl, I put the larger pan out and he always goes for it. When they decide to bathe is the time to strike!

LOL Good idea Dan!

Hello and welcome Sherry What a good looking flock you have there! Looking forward to hearing more about them

The 28th is just around the corner. Wish I had done more reading and more preparation before I picked Timber up. I was clueless!

Another Felix classic!

I feel for you! Timber hates the towel, and usually all I have to do is wave it around and he goes in his cage. I hate doing it, but sometimes it is my last resort.

Good to hear from you! It sounds like you have built a good relationship with your grey. As to the others in the house, greys seem to like who they are going to like, period. I wonder though if the others in the family have tried to build a relationship with him? Not trying to touch, but just sitting quietly by the cage and talking to him etc.?

Keri, in answer to your question about the food, most of our birds do waste a lot. Another thing I've noticed is that Timber eats in what seems to be a pattern. One day he will eat, eat, eat, then the next day and sometimes two he just picks. When you can, you need to start getting a weight at least once a week. Because of the way they waste food, it is difficult to tell how much they are really eating. Weighing regularly is the only way to really tell if they are gaining/losing weight.

Hello and welcome!

Good to hear from you! Glad that Jellybean is doing well, and glad to hear your husband may be home soon. God bless

Timber hates the steam mop above all others. Interesting point about the hissing!

In less than two weeks... nice going! Loved the pics too

Same here. When I first rehomed Timber, I took him to the vet. She suggested that I put a concrete perch highest to help with his nails. She said they tend to sleep on the highest perch available. In Timber's case, it is true. He sleeps on whatever perch is highest in the cage. Timber is an adult though, and you have a baby. I don't have any experience to offer there!

Deuce would have been a great name! I like Pooka too though. I think all of our birds say only what they want to say, so you are in good company there. Cooking is one of my passions as well. I haven't tackled a 4000 year old recipe (that I know of) yet though!

Hello and welcome to you and Morgan! As the others have said, it usually takes months, not days to earn a grey's trust. Give her plenty of time and you will see the trust and relationship develop.

Good to hear from you! I'm glad all is going well for you and Escher

How's it going, we need an update

Those markings on Crickett's wings are beautiful! Thanks for sharing and post more when you can!

Now I feel much better! Nice pics thanks for sharing. Looks like Nala is doing great

It was a fun subject! I don't think anyone failed to eat their dinner over it, though it certainly wouldn't hurt me to skip one!
