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
No Amazon here so no idea about the bite comparison. When Timber is really trying to bite, he clamps down and grinds though. Been awhile for that thank God!
Jeff, I don't think Timber does that. He does take "nibbles" that are painless and not blood-drawing. Not exactly a pinch, but I would say that it is his "warning."
Timber loves his daily spraying. In the warm months I use nursery water (chemical free) to spray him. In the winter (when the heat is running and it is dry) I use aloe to spray him. He hasn't been ill and would miss his daily misting. He takes a full bath when he is in the mood.
