Timbersmom

LOL Sassy really didn't know what to make of that! Leo was appeared to be watching her reaction. Since we can't interpret the whistles, maybe she told him it wasn't beak-worthy

Timber pulled a new one out of his hat over the weekend. Hubby was playing a little game with him (he is the "playmate"). Long story, but it involved a plastic comb. At any rate, Gary pulled the comb away before Timber was ready and Timber said "hey, now!" Progress from the last time, when he said "asshole."

LOL Light at the end of the tunnel! Hang in there.

Loved the video! Sassy is obviously a "daddy's girl." What a sweetheart

I'm a novice, so I don't have any knowledge to contribute on your gender thoughts. I think background does have a lot to do with their "gender" preference from the stories I've read from other forum members. On the other hand, my rehomed TAG prefers my son or myself (one male, one female) over the others he is exposed to. I assume that means he wasn't mistreated by either gender in his past so it eliminates gender preference based on experience.

That's great news! I wondered how the vacation was going.

Most of us have our own brats, so we believe you! Glad to hear you are seeing some light at the end of the tunnel though. Hang in there!

Loved the video! What a sweetheart

LOL! You can't help but laugh with them.

Sounds like Fred has you trained pretty well! Seriously, good going!

Nice! A handy husband is good to have around...

Oh that is a tear-jerker!

Hello and welcome Shelbie and Erwin Good advice from Judygram. The next step will probably be him NOT moving away from you when you are near his cage. The more time you can spend near his cage talking to him or reading or just being quiet, the more quickly that will happen I would say. Since he is greeting you and "making conversation" he is showing a desire to communicate with you. It sounds like you are coming right along in your relationship. Good luck and God bless

Glad to hear you and Jellybean are coming right along! Great pics, thanks for sharing

LOL Sounds like you interrupted a good dream!

Good deal!

I got mine on Amazon http://www.amazon.com/Jungle-Talk-Play-Phone-Large/dp/B000UJURY0/ref=sr_1_2?s=pet-supplies&ie=UTF8&qid=1362177455&sr=1-2&keywords=talk+n+play

Neat pics! What a handsome grey. That "I love you" just goes right through you doesn't it?

I really enjoyed reading that post and great pic too! Sounds like things are going great at your house.

I use IP Cam (droid) on my phone and my Kindle to see the cam I have on Timber. When I was using the laptop webcam I used ustream. Don't know if that helps, but it is all I know!

Do you have unlimited data or would it affect that?

I can commiserate. My cats ignore Timber, but he is will hang around the bottom of his cage so he can try take a nip of their tails as they pass by. I always give him a time out when I catch him at it, but he is persistent. After eight months, I can't see a lot of improvement in that behavior.

Yes, Tyson understands how confused and dimwitted we humans sometimes are, and was gently telling you that it is morning, which you probably didn't know, and time to get off your butt. Oh the patience it must take for them to deal with us inferior creatures

Hopefully the owner will know, but they may have not had DNA sexing done either. As Aerial pointed out, some breeders/owners think they know, but until the DNA comes back you really don't know. Timber is 5, and has never been tested. I forgot to ask at the vet last time about the cost. Good luck

Wow, what big eyes you have was my first thought! Really neat pics, thanks for sharing.
