Timbersmom

Jeff, here's the url https://www.facebook.com/pages/Everything-Birds/287772438570?fref=ts It is a pet store in Florida's page, and it appears that the owner of the shop has Felix and writes all of the cool poster stuff.

Timber is like that too. If I am eating a banana he will take a small piece, but drops most of it. I was really surprised that he doesn't even care for grapes, which seem to be a favorite with many. I was relieved when I started reading here and other places and found that fruit isn't a necessity in their diets, and should only be given in small amounts. He was interested in the pomegranate, but I suspect that was only for "destructive play." I'm sure he got a few tastes, but most of it ended up on the floor (and bars) of the cage.

I have no advice to give either, since that is a decision only you and Sean can make. How heart-rending for you though! I feel for you.

Great pic! Looks like a ballet pose

Truth there Jeff. My sister had a problem with brown recluses. She had the place sprayed 2 or 3 times and it didn't kill them off. Hopefully, they have better stuff now?

Glad to hear all turned out well! They can surprise us sometimes can't they? Glad Alfie was so "forgiving"

LOL Yes indeed! I'm past the "do a little fixing up" and on to the "need major remodel" myself

I'm curious about this too. A couple of years ago, we had carpenter bees trying to destroy our front porch. To get rid of them, I signed a 3-month agreement with the pest control company. They sprayed inside and out (package deal). I have four cats, and the first time they were coming I called to ask what needed to be put away (i.e. cat's food, water, etc.) and how long the animals needed to be out. They said what they used was totally non-toxic to anything but insects and I didn't need to do anything. It worked very well and the cats certainly didn't seem affected. That said, it is very possible that birds are different since they are more sensitive. I've been thinking about calling and seeing if I can find out. My concern is that the people I talk to may not really "know" if you know what I mean. It was sure great to have a totally bug free house for 3 months! No spiders, no gnats, no anything that didn't belong.

Enjoyed it! Thanks

I saw that on facebook and thought it was a great one! Thanks for sharing.

Hello and welcome!

Enjoyed the pics! It's good to see them getting adjusted to things like being outside as babies. My almost six-year-old TAG has fears (I suppose from previous experiences or lack thereof) that we have to overcome.

I have no experience with babies or harnesses, but it looked like a great job to me!

Beautiful birds, thanks for sharing! Timber hates feet, shod or unshod.

Funny stuff! Thanks for posting

Glad you pointed that out Dan. I "thank" people all the time, but I had no idea about the reputation "star!"

Good deal! It sounds like Neytiri's ordeal (and yours) is almost over.

Very nice! Let us know how the "test drive" outside goes.

LOL! On the bright side, You won't have any trouble with fitness with all that ducking and covering! And people think getting a dog they have to walk will keep them fit...

Yes and amen!

I think they had a convention and talked about how we all need more exercise for our own good. Timber treats me like a dog he is playing fetch with, and gets offended if I stop playing the game!

Yes, sure glad to hear she is better!

LOL! I have given Timber poms and they were a bit messy. Thank God I didn't hang one on his skewer! I just put a small piece in his bowl. As you said, I couldn't tell that he ate any of it, but he sure enjoyed spreading it around the wall and floor of the cage.

Hello and welcome to you and Shelby

Wow, that's great! Gilbert is just growing by leaps and bounds these days!
