Aghhhh..... what next? Thanks for the info!

That was so neat! Thanks for sharing

I have no answers because I have no experience with egg laying. Someone will come along with advice though!

Happy Hatchday Gracie! And many more

For all of you with a velcrobird, thought this was funny!

Wow that is so cool! I really admire your willingness to take those babies on, and your big heart

Bats are interesting creatures (to me anyway). Hope he makes it!

Here's an info sheet for anyone who is better at this stuff than me! http://npic.orst.edu/factsheets/imidacloprid.pdf

Okay, I know we have talked about the pesticide issue several times but here we go again! We have to have termite treatment on the house. They will be spraying around the perimeter of the house (outside) and in the ground but not in the house. They are using Premise 75. The bug man says Timber will be safe because they aren't spraying in the house and the toxicity isn't high in any case. I've looked online and it seems what he says is probably true. Any thoughts, opinions, or facts I've missed? Thanks!

Woohoo! Glad the cone is gone. Happy days are here again

Unfortunately apt however...

Sounds like you have the reverse of our situation. Hubby says that I would be like a lobster. Boiled and done without noticing! Probably true...

I have wondered that very thing. I suppose they would have to acclimate gradually, like with the seasons? My house is often 80 degrees and sometimes a bit more. Timber doesn't seem to have any problem with that. I've always worried more about the cold than the heat. I'm cold-natured and I don't turn the a/c on until hubby gets uncomfortable. No problems so far, but I keep an eye on him.

haaaaa! I didn't either until about 10 years ago. I noticed that my hands were looking about 20 years older than the rest of me. True though that men don't worry about it like women. My husband never wears gloves and he uses cleaning agents and does dishes all the time.

I've never seen latex break down to that extent either and I've been using them for years! That's bizarre. Enjoy the beach though!

Great video! I too loved the amen at the appropriate time and pitch...

Nah, Nilah would be perching on it!

If my husband had seen it, we would have definitely have brought it home. He specializes in "tacky!" It does have a strange charm though...

He sure was having a good time with the skate! I'm always amazed at how easily they are entertained considering their intelligence, then I remember how my kids could play with simple toys for hours. Timber likes to bat a plastic cup around on his playtop and never seems to tire of it rolling back so he can attack it again. Thanks for posting the video

What a neat video! I think she knows who Andrew is. She just likes the sound and the response it provokes

Loved the video! They are indeed manipulative liars, at least in my experience. Timber hasn't turned his wiles on me yet, but he spends his days trying to think of ways to lure the cats over so he can throw something at them or nip their tails. On the positive side, his tail nips seem to startle them more than hurt them (they jump or look but don't yowl) so I know he is being playful and not "clamping down."

Did you try the site posted by one of our members recently? http://www.greyvid.com/ I thought that looked interesting but haven't had any video to post

Enjoyed the video! I have to say that after my experiences with Timber's beak, I'm not sure I would have been as brave as that lady! I'd like to think I would try though.

Yes, thanks for sharing. Fascinating stuff! Those of us with birds that aren't that "vocal" appreciate the insight on what we know is going on in their heads, even if they won't say it!

I hope Gilbert doesn't get his days and nights mixed up like my kids did when they would sleep all day! Great news that Gilbert is getting along so well with all the changes. He certainly knows where "home" is now
