Timbersmom

LOL! Well, the "maid" in Spanish is certainly apt, at least at my house.

Great news! And he had a good bath to get the nasty vet smell office off I think you are right about the white blood cell count, and am believing it will come to nothing as well.

Hopefully, Jake is normalizing today?

Great news! Glad to hear you and Dali are doing well

Loved the video. He really is a "changed bird" isn't he? Way to go:)

Cotay sound like a real character but a lot of fun! I wonder if the others will start talking more when they hear her... Good luck and God bless!

I can't view the video Beth. Glad to Echo is coming along though!

Those vet visits are so stressful for Timber as well. Glad it is over for both of you!

LOL to Birdzilla. I think birdzilla is always right under the surface with most of our birds. I always remember members here saying they are always wild, not domesticated, and we need to remember that. I'm reminded when Timber does something totally unexpected after weeks of "normal" behavior. I'd love to know what he is really thinking and what causes that behavior!

Glad you found a vet and one you feel you can have confidence in!

Good link, thanks. I haven't had any experience with plucking (thank you Lord) but am glad to have resources like this and the forum if I ever do!

I also think it is pretty impressive! Good luck with expanding Gracie's horizons.

LOL I'm thinking it could go either way!

Alright, alright, another contest I won't win but here goes my entry. Ah well Thanks for the link!

Interesting stuff. I imagine most people who rehome a parrot struggle with the decision. At least the people on this forum would! I know there are circumstances beyond our control that might force us to rehome a bird. It is such a balancing act though... When I brought Timber home (total novice), I thought he was going to end up being a cage bird. But I had already determined that he would be the happiest caged bird I could make him. Thankfully, it didn't turn out that way. Then there were times I thought "maybe someone with experience could give him a better life," or "maybe he just doesn't like me and would be happier somewhere else." Those thoughts came when I was almost in tears over another failed attempt at interaction or another bite. Thank God and the people on this forum who were so much help that it ended well.

Glad you found what works for you (and your bird). Thanks for posting the video!

Yes, good info, thanks!

Thanks for the update Nancy. I can only imagine your frustration and sorrow!

Thanks for the update! It will be interesting to me to watch Echo's progress, and especially his interaction with Radar

Happy Hatchday Ana Grey!

Enjoyed the video! Interesting, since we've talked here before about our birds having very different tastes in music, to see the other lovebird totally unaffected.

Very pretty! Thanks for sharing.

Unbelievable.

Couldn't resist posting this! If you look closely, you can see him in there!

They are so funny with the noises. When the phone rings here, Timber says "heelllloooo." After about two minutes of conversation, he starts saying "OK, bye."
