Hello and welcome Gemma! There is a lot of information on the forum for new parronts. If I were you I've be reading! If you have any questions just ask. Someone will be able to help you.
Good work there Sterling! No help here since I don't use one. I am thinking of getting a pak-o-bird. Not the same I know but it would allow me to take Timber out more. He can sit on our screened porches (we have one front and back) and enjoys that.
I'm wondering if Timber would like the safflower seeds. He isn't big on sunflower seed either. He will eat them, but not very enthusiastically. Greys (and other birds I'm sure) are so individual in their tastes! Timber likes walnuts and almonds, but won't touch pecans, hazelnuts or brazil nuts.
I've never seen the roasted pine nuts in the shell. However, they are Timber's favorite treat shelled. Just my luck, he wouldn't like them in the shell! Ha.
Kaylee is a pretty lady! The fact that she will stand on your hand and let you get that close (pic 4) is a great sign. A lot of us who rehome wait a long time for that. Good luck and God bless
Hello and welcome Moni What is your girl's name? We would also love to see pics. I'm a novice, but some of the more experienced members will come along with help for your barber/plucking issues.
Soooo tempting to get an Amazon. I've promised myself that I'm not going to go looking, so it will have to be one that falls in my lap (or lands on my shoulder

I don't see anything else on Windy City that says "no sunflower."
I trim Timbers periodically so he doesn't get tangled up. He seems to be trying to pull as long of a string out as he can. I find strings all over the bottom of his cage.
Enjoyed the video! I know what you mean Jeff. Timber often speaks in a tone that I would describe as "whiny." Unfortunately, I think that is his version of me! A lowering thought...
